Chapter 47: CH 45

“Disappeared?………what do you mean?”

Cyrus asked with a difficult expression.

In response, Alan swept up his bang with his hand and shook his head.

“I don’t know any specific details. The waiter told me that the princess won’t respond no matter how much he tried to call her for dinner. He thought it was strange that she didn’t respond at all so we had one of the female staff checks on her. She found the princess’s escorts and maids collapsed inside.

“What…….!”

“It’s okay. They were still breathing and there was no serious injury on them. I have them moved to another room for the time being. It seems that they still haven’t regained consciousness. The inn staff already called a doctor so one should be here soon. We won’t get anything concrete until they wake up, what we know right now is that the princess is gone and her chief escort, Legion, is nowhere to be seen.”

Cyrus’s face stiffened.

“Wait a minute……they are not involved in something right.”

“As I said, we are still clueless.”

Alan let out another sigh while shaking his knee.

The situation is very bad. A foreign princess might have gotten caught up in something dangerous and is now missing. There’s also the matter of gold smuggling so no matter how friendly Levanor is, they absolutely want to avoid making waves right now.

(……..but why.)

Olivia’s hands were drenched with sweat probably because of her nervousness.

Leaving international affairs aside, Princess Florencia is quite a timid person. If she was certainly got caught up in some incident then she must be feeling very distressed.

(It won’t turn out for the worst right……?)

With no information at all, Olivia started thinking of the worst-case scenario.

Alan and Cyrus’s men are currently searching the princess’s room for clues. Until they finished, they will have to wait in Alan’s room. The staff know that Olivia left before she could finish her dinner so they brought a light meal to the room but as expected, she doesn’t feel like eating right now.

After a while, Colin entered the room. It seems that he was searching the princess’s room together with the other guards. He then report on their behalf that there was nothing suspicious in the room.

“We picked up no trace of lockpicking or any sign of struggles inside. The room is pretty much clean, sir.”

“Then how did the princess’s escorts and maids collapse?”

“I can’t say. The doctor is here to look over them but it seems none of them have woken up yet. They did not receive any serious wounds and their breathing is also calm so I believe that they have fainted. I was told that they might have been subjected to some kind of sleeping agent.”

“Like sleeping pills? Did you find any in the room?”

Colin shook his head at Cyrus’s question.

“No, sir. Nothing of the sort was found at all.”

That’s simply too strange. It’s unthinkable that the maids and escorts suddenly lose consciousness at the same time without reason.

(the thing that bothers me the most is how Legion disappeared along with Princess Florencia. It’s possible that the princess was attacked by a group of kidnappers but there was no sign of struggle……….the escorts would step in if that was the case and the kidnappers wouldn’t show any mercy so there must be some sign of that left…..)

Something is bugging her. Right now this inn is the most guarded place in the whole town so it would be difficult for an outsider to sneak in. Moreover, the princess’s escorts were always present in her room. To top it off, the maids all collapsed inside the room but none of them screamed or made any noise at all.

“…….may I take a look inside Princess Florencia’s room?”

Hearing Olivia’s request, Cyrus and Alan cocked their heads.

“What are you going to do?”

“I want to see the room for myself.”

“Colin, there’s nothing dangerous in the room right?”

Colin gives Cyrus a small nod.

“Yes, I’ve checked the closet as well as under the bed there was nothing suspicious at all, sir.”

“That’s what he said. Are you fine with this, Aniue?”

Hearing that, Alan let out a long sigh.

“Olivia’s curiosity again huh. Alright.”

Thinking that she wouldn’t listen even if he tried to stop her, Alan reluctantly agreed.
