King Ricardo felt bad in his heart because of the event in which his new Princess got lost. He was so affected that he lost his appetite for eating.

Meanwhile Queen Isabella was delighted and wished the princess never returned forever. she did not even bother to find out what happened to the Princess. She kept urging the king to forget about the maid and focus on the development of their kingdom.

Neither of the king nor the Queen had the information that the Princess had turned into a wolf. King Ricardo kept on wondering where she could have disappeared to. He called the new maid in charge of the Princess welfare.

She came into the kings room pretending to be filled with fear that she might be accused of not doing her work well leading to the disappearance of the Princess.

The King asked her, where were you all night....she replied..in my room. the King proceeded with the questions... how comes the Princess who is to be under your watch is missing?? she answered while trembling..forgive me sir for not being keen.

On realizing that the issue is becoming increasingly difficult to solve, princess no where to be seen and no signs of her whereabouts or her return King Ricardo decided to put a serious search for her.

He decided to make an announcement in the whole kingdom, that the Princess was missing from the palace and that the search for her was up. He went further to elucidate that who ever finds her would be given a reward...

Entire kingdom was disturbed with the breaking news"the missing Princess" they had loved their new crowned Princess with all their hearts being that she is the one who saved both their king and kingdom as well, she was popularly known for her noble character.

They all came up for the task, prepared psychologically for the hardships in the search because no one had a clue of what could have happened to her. some thought she was taken by their enemies, others thought maybe she is eaten by wild animals.Others thought she could be afraid of the Queen with her attitude and fled for her peace.

The new maid feigned to be so innocent and simulated to be affected so much by the loss of the Princess, she new down in her heart that she's responsible for everything. The condemnation she gave to the princess was worse, the Princess is turning into a different animal in every month.

this time round the girl turned into a wolf, with very beautiful coat which is so thick and wooly.long guard hair which help it out of old and moisture.

The King said any one who finds the Princess would be given a 1000(a thousand) pieces of gold. the kings heart was bleeding with bitterness, He swore not to forgive that person who took his precious Princess from him.

Deep down his heart and mind, he kept putting mild blame on his wife Isabella, She is the one who refused from the word go that she won't accept the maiden as her daughter.

All of a sudden came into the palace a nice wolf very friendly, caring and playful. it kept playing in the backyard of the palace. And whenever she saw people it runs and hides behind the small bushes in the palace compound.

And whenever she saw the new maid it could ran fast to far destination, no one understood why the wolf feared this young woman that much. the new maid assumed the reaction of the wolf towards her to avoid suspicion.

the search went on , the warriors, merchants, the strong women of the kingdom went out to the neighbouring kingdoms, some went to the forest and some did search in the boltar kingdom

Days passed and not even a single group came back with a positive result, the king looked forward to receiving back his princess little did he know that he lived with the Princess in the neighborhood and at times in the palace because the wolf kept visiting the palace backyard to play on the nicely kept grass on daily basis and in the neighbourhood bushes in search of it's food...it eats mouse, rabbits, mice, small birds and even fish.

the new maid also took her good time to go for the search, he cheated the king that she's going to the neighborhood kingdom and left very early in the morning. Very fast she went straight back to the evil forest to check on her new friend Princess Ruth and also to give her feedback on what was taking place in her former kingdom. this was very much important than the search.
