We've Been Breached

King Regin stood up at once from his throne at the mention of his daughter's name. 

To say he was shocked was an understatement; the always calm and collected King Regin had his face mixed with different kinds of emotion.  

One wouldn't blame him only if they knew the story behind his love and overprotecting nature towards his children.

"What did you say?" He asked his son.

"Father, Avery has been missing. She isn't anywhere in the palace either," Prince Terence said, his voice raspy, threatening to break.

"Missing? Guards!!"

King Regin was alarmed, immediately the guards rushed to his front and bowed their heads.

"Father, there is no need for that, I have had every guards and soldiers in the palace, search for her but still, nothing," he felt dejected as he informed his father about the situation.

King Regin waved his hand to dismiss the guards. He had a somewhat sad expression on.
