BXBX NOVEL Chapter 436 - Missing From Palace
Cedric left right after informing Ayra that he would be coming late tonight. Though Ayra had keen interest to know where he was heading for, the man didn't give her the chance and dissapared after taking large strides outside of the palace.
Night came down on Basarisk Kingdom fast that day. With the load of works that had been pressurized on them in their king's absence, most of their staffs were exhausted and went back inside their room to take rest early. As usual, the sky over Basarisk was covered in dark clouds again.
Unlike other days, Jessie stayed in her room tonight. After the sorrowful incident that happened with Isabella, she didn't feel like going for Inn today. Besides her father's words reverberated through her mind.
Should she talk to him once?
But Oscar dissapared once again from the palace without saying anything. It turned out like he would be coming back to forth in Dixon Palace quite often from now on. Jessie exhaled a soft sigh beside the fireplace. She was rocking on her armchair to stable her mind when her door knocked with a fearful voice coming out from her maid,
" Princess! Are you.. awake?"
The maid knew how hot tempered Jessie was. If she somehow disturbed during her sleeping time, she would be kicked out of the palace tomorrow undoubtedly. Jessie replied with a questioning frown,
" Come in!"
A blondie haired maid came in carefully. Giving a courteous bow to Jessie, she spoke streching out her arm towards Jessie that had a tiny piece of paper,
" Someone has left it in front of your door with your name on it. I didn't dare to open it but it doesn't seem like a letter. It was left outside of your door and I was passing by when I saw it."
Jessie's frown deepened before standing up to grab the paper from her maid. She dismissed the maid before opening the paper cautiously.
" MEET ME IN BACK FOREST! URGENT!"
Jessie's expression was puzzled. Flipping the page few times, she found no name or signature on it.
Who came to meet her at this hour?
This wasn't the only question that she had in her mind. Jessie hesitated over her own decision. It was already very late at night and without anyone around, who could be coming over to meet her?
But perhaps someone had to inform her something important. After all, she had her spies on Davina.
Was it someone from them?
Jessie had her doubts in her mind as she clutched the paper in her fist. But she had to go to find out the truth. Taking few self encouragement from her mind, Jessie decided to head off after taking a shawl from the cupboard as the weather was getting a little chilly.
Back in Ayra's bedroom, she was preparing to go for bed when the sky let out a powerful groan. She was startled by this sudden high pitched noise and frowned thinking that Cedric didn't come back yet. Habit was really a terrible thing. Whenever she looked around to find the empty room, her heart invoulantarily occupied in loneliness.
Was she missing him so badly?
She cursed herself before getting up from the stool. As she walked down to take the bed, her door knocked with urgency. Ayra furrowed before asking in a bit irritated voice,
" Who is this?"
Her personal maid answered who had been looking after her needs ever since she stepped in Dixon Palace,
" My Lady, it's me, Camelia. I have a piece of news for you. Should I come?"
As soon as Ayra approved her to come in, Camelia entered with a dark and gloomy face. Her expression was bit scary as if she had made a terrible discovery just now.
Ayra questioned worry leaping out from her voice,
" What's wrong with you? Is something happened?"
Cameila broke out in cold sweat. After taking a gulp of her own saliva, she reported keeping her head low in apology,
" My Lady.. It's.. that...One..of your pup.. has gone missing..We can't find him anywhere..."
Since Cedric didn't like those pups much, Ayra assigned her own maid, Cameila to look after them. Before coming back to sleep in her room, she sent them in Camelia's care and warned her many times to look after them carefully. Cedric wouldn't have warned her so seriously if it wasn't any serious issue.
Ayra was stunned by the news. Her eyes became dark as she growled at Camelia frustratingly,
" How can you become so careless, Cam? I have just asked you to look after them for one night but you actually lost one of them. What will I tell to your king now? He told me to not loose them at any cost. What if something bad happens to the missing pup? What will I tell him?"
Cameila was shook in fear and agony. This was the first time that Ayra treated her coldly. Now she realized more that how important those pups were. If it wasn't for her clumsiness towards their caring, the pup wouldn't have gone missing. Still she tried to save her own head by crying her heart out to move Ayra's heart,
" I am so sorry, My Lady. It wasn't intentional. I didn't know how did it went out. Please punish me however you wish but don't tell the king, Please. He will excute me at once."
Ayra held her head in worry and different anticipations began to cloud her mind. Thanks to her dearest husband, her powers were still prohibited in Dixon Palace and wouldn't be any help to this case.
Ayra ordered walking over to change her own clothes,
" Call the guards right now and ask them to search the entire palace including backyard. I don't know what to do with you, Cameila. Just pray that we find that brat as soon as possible."
Camelia asked watching her getting rid of her clothes,
" But my lady.. where are you going?"
Ayra shrugged slipping inside her slippers,
" I am also going to looking for that pup. He might come out after hearing my voice."
