"Catch him," Donovan was fuming as he said.

Zivan nodded as he walked away immediately.

As soon as they walked a bit they saw Benjamin was already on his way towards them on his horse.

Donovan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man stopping the horse speedily and running in his direction.

Donovan didn't wait for him to come closer and rushed in Benjamin's direction.

"Where is she?" Donovan grabbed Benjamin by his collar and lifted him in the air as he demanded with furry.

"I...I don't know," Benjamin struggled to reply.

"Do you think I will believe that nonsense," Donovan threw Benjamin on the ground. If not for Silja he would have already killed this man long ago.

Benjamin groaned as his body hit the ground with great impact.

"She disappeared in thin air in front of the eyes of your own man... cough...even your best soldiers couldn't do anything," Benjamin was also getting angry.

He was here to ask for help. He has already sent his man to look for Silja but he knew that they wouldn't be sufficient so he came here as soon as possible to inform Donovan.

Donovan was the prince of this land so he has lots of power.

If they act fast they could find Silja as soon as possible.

But instead of hearing what he wanted to say Donovan was busy blaming him instead.

Donovan grunted but didn't say anything, he closed his eyes trying to calm himself down.

'No...this is not time for this. She is alone and in the hand of the enemy. Think about her,' Donovan repeated in his head.

Benjamin stood up and wiped his hands.

"Speak what happened," Donovan said, glaring at his brother-in-law.

Benjamin calmed his anger and reminded himself that he has to cooperate with Donovan in order to find his sister. He couldn't afford to engage in this argument with Donovan at the moment.

Soon he narrated the whole incident to Donovan.

Donovan narrowed his eyes, the veins on his forehead were throbbing from anger.

"Zivan, send your people. I want news about her in one hour. Samuel, handle things here. Locked each and every person present here till we find princess Silja," Donovan gave the order at lightning speed and then changed his form into a dragon and flew away.

Zivan gathered all his resources in order to find where Silja was while Samuel did what Donovan said.

He gathered the guards and arranged them around the vicinity so no one could step out.

Abrielle stood there in confusion and worry. Everything was going great and this suddenly happened.

Who could be powerful enough to kidnap a princess amid such tight security?

Suddenly something clicked in her head and she went out.

Her eyes roamed around the whole ground, searching for a particular face.

She looked around for a bit when finally her eyes landed on two people sitting quietly in one corner.

The woman was wearing an ink-black dress while the young man beside her was wearing a grey shirt and black coat.

Evillene and Kruel were talking softly to each other as they looked at people roaming around them.

"Can they be the one behind the kidnapping of Silja?" Abrielle mumbled to herself.

But what could be their motive to do that?

The secret of Silja's power and her being a witch was not known to anyone other than a member of the Regalhelm family.

There was no way that any of them would spill such a thing so Kruel could never know about Silja's truth.

If he doesn't know that means he has no motive to do that.

What's more, if he had done that he would have already announced it long ago.

Kruel feels glorious about what he does so there was no way he would do anything sneakily.

Then who could it be?

Abrielle's forehead filled with clouds of worry. Sensing her gaze at them mother and son looked at her in unison. Abrielle hurriedly lowered her head in worry that if she made eye contact they would find out that something was wrong. She then soon left the main area

Soon Zachary also found out about Silja being missing.

He also dispatched his man in order to find her.

Almost one hour has passed but there was no news of Silja.

Donovan and his man have already looked around the area from where she has gone missing.

But it was as if the air had gulped down her.

.

.

"Did you find anything?" A large dragon landed near Benjamin.

Benjamin was waiting at the place where Silja's carriage had gone missing. Donovan and his man were still looking through the forest searching for the clues.

He asked as soon as he saw the dragon.

Dragon then shook his large head, disappointing Benjamin.

He found himself useless at this moment.

He didn't know where to find Silja, there were no links that could give them even a single clue that could lead them in her direction.

Benjamin and the dragon were standing when suddenly the dragon shook his head as he sensed people coming in their direction.

He quickly changed his form and stood behind Benjamin.

A large dragon returned with Zivan on his back.

As soon as they appeared Benjamin saw Zivan holding two figures in his arms.

Soon the dragon landed and Benjamin ran towards them.

He instantly recognised the two women that Zivan was holding.

They were Mira and Arla, Silja's maids.

"Did you find her?" The first thought of Benjamin was that they found Silja.

He looked behind them thinking that Silja might be with Donovan.

"We only found the maids laying in the woods with a broken carriage," Zivan has grave expressions on his face.

Benjamin took a step back as he heard that. He pulled out his hair in frustration.

Donovan, who has also received news about maids.

Soon he returned to the place to check if there were any clues. Donovan landed on the ground and hurriedly walked towards them after changing his form.

"Where did you find them?" He didn't waste any second and started to take details.

"Near the Easter Lake. The carriage was broken and this maid was laying inside," Zivan pointed at Mira.

"What about the other one?" Donovan squatted down beside Arla.

"She was drowning in the lake when one of our men found her. Whoever the kidnaper was wanted to kill her by drowning in the water," Zivan explained.

Donovan nodded his head. He started to examine Arla's body.

Her clothes were soaked thoroughly and there were many wounds on her body as well.

The wounds were clearly made from the struggle. But only Arla was injured on the other hand Mira was just unconscious.

"Take them to healers. Trying to regain her consciousness as soon as possible," Donovan pointed at Arla.

After giving instructions Donovan again left in a hurry.

Back at the wedding venue, the situation was getting a bit tense.

In the beginning, no one noticed anything amiss but as time passed people started to ask about the bride and groom. It was already the time of night and there was no wedding ceremony.

"Where are the bride and groom? Why hasn't the ceremony started yet?" One of the guests asked.

"Yes, even queen Abrielle and king Zachary are missing," another one raised the question.

"What's going on?" Soon the people started to get anxious.

"Is the ceremony going to happen or not? Where are the king and queen?" Everyone was asking questions one after another.

"Sir Marcus, why don't you go and ask the king about the matter," one of the noblemen, who was a big merchant, walked towards the grand duke of north and urged him to check with King Zachary.

"Yes...yes.. you should go. After all, the time of the ceremony has already gone. We need to know why they are delaying for so long," another one agreed.

The man named Marcus was the Grand Duke of North and also Priscilla's father. (I have introduced him in chapter 44)

Sir Marcus humphed as he heard that. Actually, he has the highest status in the court after king, queen and prince.

Such a sly man like him has also maintained quite good relationships with king Zachary throughout these years.

King Zachary was also very respectful of him but since the past few days, he has noticed that the King was becoming colder towards him.

Actually, he was also one of the people who were opposed to this wedding.

Although he didn't fall out with the king openly in front of everyone he has approached king Zachary in secret.

He has proposed the hand of his own daughter and asked the king to not let princess Silja marry prince Donovan.

But king Zachary has denied his proposal without thinking twice.

At the end of a few heated discussions, he left with a stomach full of anger.
