The Lord is Missing

A few days after the Lord's Arrival.

>>>>>

Ella couldn't sleep at all. The cottage was just near a thick bush, Such that they could hear the sound of some creatures from the bush. It was also a little far from other cottages around the kingdom.

That night the noise from the bush was loud. She could hear the sound of Animals in the bush, probably fighting or something.

She kept turning and turning. The small window to her bedroom was just facing the thick bush. It wasn't that dangerous because they've lived there all their lives. She wondered maybe that could be the real reason why her father kept her hidden.

But all the people around the kingdom were able to move freely and lived a normal life.

The noise was too much it was as though the wild Animals or some creatures were fighting just behind their cottage. She left her room in fear and went to her father's room. " pa!! she knocked.

Ella went in, Pedro was sleeping so soundly and peacefully which surprised Ella. She didn't want to disturb him.

" he must be tired, he works so hard. I wish I could help out too, Ella muttered. She covered Pedro with a blanket before she left his room.

Ella slept on the sofa that night. She didn't want to go back to her room with the noise she heard.

Morning came, All the servants in the castle got busy with their chores. The butler Walked to the Lord's Room with two of the servant to get him ready for another meeting which was to be held in the castle that morning. He looked around his room but he couldn't see Lord Ekr.

" check the closet and the bath house, he ordered the Servants. Butler Kelvin left the Lord's Room to look for him around the castle.

" Butler Kelvin anything the matter? Leya asked.

" Did you happen to see the Lord this morning? he questioned.

" Not at all, he must be in his room. He never leave his room if not there then check his study room, she responded.

" sure, that didn't cross my mind. He left to check the study room.

He got surprised. " Patrick, good thing you are here, Is Lord Ekr with you?

" he should be in his room getting ready for the meeting.

" he's not there I just checked.

" Hmm strange, Guards!! he called. The Guards came running. Look for Lord Ekr am sure he must be around in the castle. He knows about the meeting, his presence will be needed.

The guards searched around the castle but couldn't find him anywhere. This surprised Everyone.

" Ekr can't be missing, said His Grandmother feeling worried. He never leave the castle alone especially without informing me.

" well, I can't say much about that, maybe he needs some time alone. He has always been cold to everyone, he never laughs or smile I wonder what kind of a being Kar and his wife brought into this world.

" Shut up Leya!! Am worried about my grandson, He never leaves the castle and here you are talking about that!!

" Mother please!! Patrick yells.

" wait what if Something bad has happened to him Mother in law!! This castle can't stand without a ruler!!

" stop it !! why would you say that Leya!! He is fine I know he is! Leave my room!!
