Chapter 48 A missing princess (2/2)
”Were you the one that pushed the princess out on the road?” I pressed for more information.
”I-I don't know what you are talking about.” The man denied.
It looks like this guy won't crack that easily.
”Dimitri, are you there?” I called. I have told them yesterday that they will maintain a few meters away from me and Alicia today. It was because I want to be with Alicia alone and enjoy our date together without my shadow guards watching us.
But I specifically told Dimitri to standby if ever I call for him in emergency situations. And this here is an emergency situation.
”Your highness.” Dimitri just came flying in. He kneeled down before me. ”What happened your highness?”
Dimitri was looking at the man that I detained.
”Take him.” I pushed the man towards Dimitri. ”Find out who is he working for and if he was the one that pushed Alicia earlier.”
”Yes your highness.” Dmitri slightly bowed. He whistled and in an instant two shadow guards came flying in. They knelt before me.
”Take this guy.” Dimitri said. ”You know what to do.”
”Yes captain.” They bowed and took the man.
”Please spare me.” The man was screaming. My shadow guards left with the man to interrogate him.
”Your highness, let me escort you back.” Dimitri asked.
”Okay.” I turned around and walked back to the stables.
Once we entered I called looked for Alicia instantly.
”Alicia?” I called but there was no answer. My heart was beating very fast.
'Did I miss someone? Did the man had an accomplice with him?' I thought. 'But I only felt one presence.'
I looked around frantically searching for her.
”Alicia, Alicia, where are you?!” I was now yelling.
Then I smelled something, that smell will always be familiar to me. A smell of blood. I traced the smell and saw drops of blood on the floor.
”Dimitri!” I yelled.
”Your highness, what's the matter.” Dimitri was startled. This was the first time that he saw me frantic.
”Search the area at once! Find Alicia!” I said with authority.
”Yes your highness.” Dimitri bowed and vanished in an instant.
I felt my heart clenched in pain. Anger was engulfing every inch of my body.
”I will find you Alicia. And I won't spare anyone that tried to take you away and hurt you.” The rage in my voice was evident.
