A twisted snake

"Have you found them?" Eoin asks his attendant. "It has been ten days."

"There is no sign of them." The attendant replies stiffly, "Maybe they have already left this world."

Eoin shakes his head. "The gates have been closed since the day of the assassination attempt at the prime minister's mansion."

Not only that, but the crown prince is also looking for Eli desperately. 

"Find them." Eoin smiles at his Attendant brightly. "If you can't find them, then you should find your replacement and visit the torture chamber. Don't worry. You will be able to leave the torture chamber someday."

The attendant pales. He bows down to Eoin and promises him that he will find Eli and Nell; and then, he rushes out of the room.

Eoin lets out a heavy sigh. The Highmore family is hellbent on bringing down their family. Even the king is leaning on their side. The crown prince is still blinded by Eli. 

This is the right time.
