The King of Granzreich commanded to meet up with the best investigators of the mighty kingdom of Granzreich to hunt down his missing sons and the Queen's lost daughters. There is a knock on the door, and the manservant spoke, "My King and My Queen, the detectives are here to see you."
The Queen ordered, "Send them in!" As the door creaked open, four familiar faces were found at the entrance. They were none other than Prince Eins and Count Rosenberg including Princess Eina and Countess Rosenthal!
The King sternly instructed, "Please note that now I'm not speaking to you as your parent, I am commanding you as the ruler of this sovereign nation; I request you, thy the most qualified investigators of Granzreich, to do everything within your power to hunt down my sons and my future daughters and bring them back to the kingdom as soon as possible." They bowed as a sign of respect and approval and departed from the study.
An hour later, the four of them assembled at the reception hall to discuss their speculations they came up with. Prince Eins articulated, "Now that we all have had some time to ourselves to think about this, I suppose that we all have generated some notions that would find us a lead in this case. Princess Eina, how about you go first?"
Princess Eina rose from her seat and speculated, "We all are aware of the recent news about Sennett getting caught on her attempt of assassination against Brunia; almost immediately after my sisters and Prince Eins' brothers fled away from the wedding."
Count Rosenberg remarked, "So you're saying that the incomplete wedding; the Princes and Princesses missing; and the news is somehow connected?"
Princess Eina responded, "Precisely, Count Rosenberg! The people who have earned a reward for capturing Sennett for her act might know about our siblings' whereabouts as they must have access to information this can only be admittance by the member of the royal family."
Countess Rosenthal remarked, "Your Highness, are you saying that the Princes and Princesses had something to do with this?"
Prince Eins responded, "There is a possibility that Princess Eina must be right. Considering her perspective of the matter, our siblings must have sent someone to do this for them since they wanted our parents to call off the wedding after revealing Sennett's true character."
Count Rosenberg mentioned, "Then I suppose that our next lead will be at the Granzreich national television company who has forecasted the news in the first place."
Countess Rosenthal added, "Not to forget that we also need to view the police complaint before we go to the office. If we carry our investigator IDs, then I'm sure that they will allow us to inspect the police complaint and the CCTV footages."
Prince Eins declaimed, "Then our first stop is at the Wiennier police station.
*AT THE POLICE STATION*
After viewing their IDs, the police brought the complaint registered at the station regarding Princess Sennett's case. They found out that the claim was made my four people named, Michael, Andrew, Chantel, Aubrey respectively. The officer placed a Vermillion crested bracelet and a syringe in front of them and affirmed, "These were the two items that were found at the abandoned warehouse in the middle of the woods."
Count Rosenberg questioned, "Why do any of these people not have surnames? And is Princess Brunia still alive?"
The officer answered, "Yes, that is for sure as no askes were found; only these two items. Rumors state that someone who was passing by rescued her. And about the missing surnames, it is because these people claim to be orphans. So the reward for them was to send them to Ofdain to support their dream of collecting money to pay off for their college fee. They didn't really give out their personal information, so I'm sorry that I cannot further help you for what you're looking for."
Princess Eina responded, "No, it's alright. We got what we needed from here."
As they exited the premises, Prince Eins asked, "If they are orphans, then why on earth would they want to help out our siblings?"
Princess Eina answered, "It is possible, Prince Eins. There are many orphanages in Granzreich if we find out that which one do they belong to, and if that matches the one I have my eyes on, then I have the answer that will immensely benefit our case. And when we confirm the suspicion, then we can go to the Granzreich nation television office and discover out what they look like and go to Ofdain ourselves."
After that, they approached numerous orphanages and conversed with their respective owners there. They eventually discovered that the people who filed a complaint were previously kids at the Wiennier national orphanage whose owner was the new King of Rathanlandia who wasn't around in the city. They left the city at their own cause, and they weren't authorized to give out any other personal information to anyone, not even the detectives.
Princess Eina articulated, "Just as I suspected! Brunia was adopted from this very institution."
Prince Eins raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Wait, Brunia is adopted?!"
Eina explained, "Brunia was adopted by my mother at the young age of five. She must have made some companions here who she secretly kept in touch with till now. And Brunia must have confessed about this to our other siblings. So they must have asked a favor from these guys, and they were finally released to go to Ofdain. Now we just need to find out what they look like. Prince Eins and Count Rosenberg, your task is to view the security footage in the administrator's office."
After snapping essential shots of the security footage in the administrator's office, they discovered how the wedding tape was leaked and took note of their appearances. Following their report delivered to Princess Eina and Countess Rosenthal, Countess Rosenthal commented, "They used Brunia's assassination case to get to their goals... well... we will do the same thing to get what we want. It's now time to go to Ofdain!"
*IN THE OFDAIN PALACE*
The King and Queen had to visit a lawyer regarding the paperwork to get back their daughter, and they took their son along with them. The Professors and Princess Brunia explored the local markets in town, which left Michael, Andrew, Chantel, and Aubrey alone with the rest of the palace staff doing their work. Michael was directing himself to the master bedroom's washroom when he observed Andrew fixing the sewage pipe. Michael raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're still not done with this?"
Andrew growled, "Hey! It's not like I am an expert in this, okay! This takes time as I have never done anything like this before! Why are you asking me!?"
Michael bluntly answered, "Because I have to clean the toilet!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Hold that thought, for now, Michael!" They whirled around to see Prince Eins and Count Rosenberg at the scene!
Andrew asked, "Prince Eins and Count Rosenberg? What are you doing at the Ofdain palace? You know that you don't have power here, right?"
Count Rosenberg smiled and replied, "Oh my! Do you know who we are, huh? Considering that you aren't citizens of Granzreich that is quite a shock, isn't it? Let's quit the 'I don't know what you're talking about' and get down to business. You see, we know who you really are, and what is your relationship with the Princes of Granzreich and the Princesses of Vermillion; especially your close friendship with Princess Brunia. Pray tell us, where do you think that the Princes and Princesses will be found; they are on the run, aren't they? And we came with the hope that you know where they are."
Michael questioned, "Fine. But why on earth do you think that we will tell you?"
Count Rosenberg put on an evil grin and, "I anticipated that you would be resistant. Prince Eins, would you do the honors?"
Prince Eins replied sternly, "Gladly, I shall." He went out of the room, only for Michael and Andrew to discover that Eins brought back Brunia into the room; who was crying and her eyes were overflowing with tears!
She squealed with fear, "MICHAEL; ANDREW! PLEASE HELP ME HERE!" Eins removed a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Brunia's head!
Andrew shouted, "Prince Eins, please don't!"
Eins screamed, "Hey! If you lowlives don't start talking, then your precious Princess best friend is as good as dead!"
Suddenly, Chantel and Aubrey appeared at the scene and carefully observed their surroundings and immediately comprehended the situation. They rushed towards Eins and physically forced him to release their best friend. Eins shoved Chantel on the floor and fired Aubrey on her hand by accident with his weapon!
Michael went by his girlfriend and asked, "Oh my god, Aubrey! Are you okay?"
Aubrey whimpered, "Ugh! Get me to the hospital, please. It really hurts, and there's a lot of blood coming out."
Michael growled, "How dare you?!" Andrew helped up Chantel, and they rushed towards Aubrey to examine her wound.
Andrew stood up and answered, "Roevern."
Michael yelled, "ANDREW! WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT!? CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID? THEY HELD BRUNIA AS A HOSTAGE; SHOVED YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND NOT TO FORGET, SHOT MINE!!"
Andrew explained, "Michael, there's no use of protecting them anymore. Prince Bruno got the wedding called off, right? If you can recall, that was the primary purpose of everything."
He turned towards Eins and the Count and continued, "They are in Roevern. Go and hunt them down or kill them for all I care. But if you don't release Brunia and pay for my friend's medical bill, even two can play this game."
He removed a gun from his pocket as well and pointed it towards the Prince! Count Rosenberg intervened by saying, "Okay! Here is the bill for her hand. We really didn't mean to shoot her, it was an accident. We merely came for information instructed by the King of Granzreich to capture the missing Princes and Princesses."
Michael shouted, "Now, release our friend!" An evil grin spread across Brunia's face as she said, "Yeah... about that..." She placed her hand on her face and removed the mask off her face to reveal Princess Eina behind costume!
Eins spoke, "We got our information, so we will be on our way. Get your girlfriend to the hospital, Michael." And as he said that, they exited the room leaving the four people alone.
Michael immediately instructed the guards to call an ambulance as the bleeding was uncontrollable. After a few moments of arriving at the hospital, Aubrey was with the doctors, whereas her three companions were waiting for her outside the room. Suddenly, Brunia and the Professors appear at the scene to collect Brunia's official birth certificate that she was supposed to pick up at the dispensary, as her real birthplace was in Ofdain.
Professor Heine inquired, "Your Highness, I'm curious to know that if Iqbal though that he was your father, how come your birthplace is Ofdain?"
Brunia replied, "I see why you have that perplexion, Master. You see, my mother was already nine months pregnant when she arrived at Ofdain regarding an office work and during a conference meeting; her water broke, and she was immediately brought here. So, unlike my twin brothers, my father was actually there to hold me after my birth."
As they were conversing, they got the birth certificate and were heading outside to return to the palace. On the way, they encountered Michael, Andrew, and Chantel who were sitting outside with a sign of impediment spread across their faces.
Professor Heidi asked, "What are you guys doing here?"
After Chantel narrated the entire incident. Brunia rose up from her seat, went over to Michael and responded, "Hey Michael, take care of Aubrey, okay. Because by the time she comes out from that room, she won't get to see me, so tell her goodbye from the Professors' and my side. Please do the same for my parents; I can't hide here like a fool while my sisters and the younger Granzreich brothers are being hunted down. Also, I can't hide here until my parents get the paperwork done; it's going to take several months. I need to go back to Granzreich."
Professor Heidi asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you certain of this?"
Brunia put on a weak smile and said, "I cannot be more sure about that." After exchanging goodbyes, Brunia and the Professors headed back to Granzreich to face the people from whom they initially ran away from.
As expected, the Granzreich brothers and the Vermillion sisters were tracked down along with their royal guards and were forcefully dragged home. The King and Queen had nothing to say about their return, as they were infuriated by their children for running away yet they didn't scold them as they speculated that they were a part of the reason why they did so. A few days later, Brunia and the Professors returned to the palace.
