77 Young Evans

Louis's POV

"What's the status now?"

Leaning against the command console, I queried Martin over the radio. He was on his way to the site of the Black Pearl incident, my trusted beta and personal warrior.

"Your Highness, the sea is still rough with heavy fog, visibility is low, and we're still searching for Luna Diana."

Martin's voice remained steady, but his words only added to my already mounting frustration.

"We need to find my mother at all costs! Got it?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ending the communication, I angrily ripped the radio off my chest and hurled it against the wall.

"Damn it!"

Next second, Garfield appeared like a ghost, calmly picking up the shattered radio. He stopped a meter away from me.

"Your Highness."

Not yet having calmed my inner rage, I vented my remaining fury at him.

"What is it?"

"You haven't slept in over thirty hours, Your Highness. It's time to rest."
