Chapter 45: To Be Floored

"How's the search going?"

"We're trying our best, Your Majesty," replied Sir Gradral as he bowed solemnly. 

The Emperor threw on the table the parchment from which he had been reading from. It had been two days since the princess's disappearance and there was still no trace of her. It had started to worry him to the point he couldn't concentrate on his work.

Sir Gradral bowed once again. "Eternal blessings upon the Empire of Wisteria."

Once the Emperor was finally alone, he leaned back in his large wingback chair and held onto his forehead. Oh, how he wished the princess would show up herself so he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble because of her.
