Gabi looked at the door again. This was the fifth time she had looked at the door in the past one minute.

The air seemed to be heavier each time she did not find Alex walking in. the maids felt it was hard to breath while helping her in choosing her jewelry.

Before her personal maids could find a good excuse to run away, the door knocking bringing her attention back to the door.

"Come in." she adjusted the smile on her face but it froze when she noticed that it was only a group of knights not Alex.

"Your majesty, we had checked every room in the whole palace. Including, master Leo, Albert, his majesty and all the princess room with the new guest. There was nothing to be found." his voice was full of respect and obedience.

"Shall we check the room of knights or the staff of the palace of his majesty?" since only they were left while everyone else was thoroughly checked.
