The child is missing.
Even after the nanny had left my head was still replaying her words.
I was left alone in the courtyard, my legs turning to stone, my heart pounding, as the fear slowly seeped into my chest.
Gone.
Again.
Not by coincidence.
Moved.
Hidden.
He was removed from my sight before I could go to him.
My fists were clenched.
Lucian.
It had to be him.
Nobody else in this land had the power to remove the child without reason.
My rage just came alive inside of me, and I was close to losing my breath.
He knew.
I don't know how, but he knew I was up to something.
Or perhaps he didn't trust me enough to let me be near his son for any extended period.
I then spun around and ran towards the inner wing.
I was noticed by the guards and was moved aside without question.
