"WHAT?" Rufus Quinzel, shocked by what he heard from Jaxson Emmett. He was talking to the vice-captain of his army using the communication device in his ear. "Hanna disappeared? What happened, Jaxson?"
Jaxson Emmett was scheduled to return to the Royal Capital the same day Hanna would.
Amber, his wife, arrived yesterday but she was summoned by her family. Unfortunately, he couldn't fetch Hanna from the port town where the Quinzel Ship was moored to the pier. The ship was owned by his family, so it came with a private squad to keep his daughter safe.
Still, he wanted Hanna to be escorted by someone he trusted.
Thus, he asked the vice-captain to escort Hanna to the Royal Capital.
He was actually on his way to the Royal Capital to fetch Hanna. They were supposed to meet at the capital's entrance when he received the news about his daughter's sudden disappearance.
