Damian had looked for Alice everywhere hoping that he would find her somewhere in the palace. The thought of her leaving, disappearing as she did before, scared him. He was aware that Alice had been afraid, she had doubts and now instances had been piling up that could make her insecure. She was nowhere to be found, not in the garden, not in the throne room, not hiding in the stables and after a while Damian's feet grew tired as he had walked through the enormous palace more than three times. 

Soon word of the frantic prince running around like crazy reached his father. The old man sent word for him, ordering him to come to his office. He didn't want to, the white haired young man wanted simply to find Alice, make sure she hadn't left him. Nonetheless, he followed, since it was very possible if he denied that his father would not let him search in peace.
