Chapter 32
The moment he heard Ruby say that Abby followed a random man and refused to come back with herself and her friends, Micah felt she was being dishonest. She was hiding something.
But he didn’t have enough time to interrogate her at this moment. He needed to find Abby as soon as possible first. He couldn’t afford to waste any more time when anything could happen to his mate out there.
“Alan, come with me,” Micah called his royal beta to follow himself.
He didn’t even bother to ask Ruby anymore details that could be used as leads while searching for Abby.
“You, come here,” Mich pointed to one of the two warriors whom he sent to check on Abby earlier that evening. “Tell me, where exactly did my mate go missing?”
“My King, it seems to be near the grand square.”
The warriors then informed everything they learned about Abby’s missing incident.
In no time, several hundreds of warriors were dispatched under Micah’s command to search for Abby. The King swore to himself that he would search every alley until he found his mate.
The moment Abby realized she got separated from Ruby and the rest, she tried searching for them in her capacity. She tried not to let the panic set in as she quickly tried to back track her steps.
But when even after searching for half an hour, she couldn’t see even a trace of them, Abby finally let the depth of her situation sink in as fear gripped her heart with the thought she knew no one there surfaced in the back of her mind. Not even a single person. And she was surrounded by a large number of people.
What should she do? Abby felt like crying as she bit onto her nails, her habit whenever she was nervous. She was beyond anxious as she looked around her with frightened eyes.
Meanwhile, the further the sky darkened, the more intense the commotion around her became with the numerous fire acts the people were presenting in the festival for their audiences.
And the bigger the crowd around her grew, until she could only see people in every street and alley
alike.
This was the first time for her to be surrounded by such a large number of people, no less in a place so foreign to her.
“Maybe I should go to the place where we left the carriages earlier,” Abby thought aloud, as if talking to herself in a loud voice would help her stave off her fears. If she could make it back to the carriages, where they might be still waiting for her, she could rejoin them. And she would get out of
this trouble.
Even if they left after waiting for her a bit, someone might stay behind or return. At least, she could-

Her personal maid was kind and from their interactions, she could tell the girl cared about herself.
Thinking up to this point, Abby felt a bit encouraged again and immediately set her plan in
motion.
“To do so, I need to start from my last point,” Abby quickly walked back to the place she believed to be the place she got separated from Ruby and the rest.
If she could successfully take the path back to the carriages, almost half of her plan would be executed with no fail. Backtracking from the lamp show might help her efficiently. With a more clear mind now.
“What did we see before stopping at the lamp show?” Abby tried to rack her brains. “Right, the fireworks.”
Abby quickly looked around herself, but her face fell immediately. The entire sky was filled with different types of firework shows, whereas only one was active carlier. And much to her chagrin, every alley and street looked the same under this chaos filled night sky.
“Okay, this won’t do.” Abby couldn’t help but feel discouraged. Maybe she could ask the people if she could remember the exact place they stopped the carriages.
Only she couldn’t remember the spot they stopped the carriages. She did recall seeing some outlets. after getting down from the carriage. But, since she didn’t know the actual names of the places. around here, she couldn’t even map the exact spot in her brain, let alone explain that place to these festival crazed people. It would be another challenge entirely.
Abby didn’t realize it when walking earlier, being amazed by all the lively festivities, but they really seemed to have come very far from their starting point. She couldn’t even recognize the allies around her anymore.
“How could I be so careless?” Abby felt like knocking her own head for her stu pidity.
She had been disturbed the whole time on their way to the restaurant from the palace, as those gossiping girls wouldn’t stop drooling over Micah, not even bothering to hide the lust in their words. They were really shameless and her head was so full, she didn’t even bother to register the restaurant’s name. Had she been a bit alert and at least read the restaurant’s name, maybe she could have asked the people about it to go there right now.
In the end, as nothing she could think of resulted in a favorable outcome, the girl stopped at a less crowded place. And that happened to be a small tavern.
Because of walking too much, Abby felt like her feet were killing her.
The tears that she had been trying to hold back all this time couldn’t be stopped anymore when one of them escaped her right eye, and from there it was a downpour. Immediately, her cheeks. were drenched as she sobbed without a peep.
She stood there like a lost child, while her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. To stop them, she bit her nails until they hurt while her anxiety wouldn’t go anywhere,

“What happened, my child?” A soft voice came from the side when Abby almost bit her fingers and drew her own blood.
