22 Chapter 22: Warning 2 (1/2)

Late night at the palace.

”Princess... Princess....” a general rushed in, worry etched on his face.

” Woah ... Why are you in a hurry?” Jinha asked playfully.

The general looked around the room surprised to find three of the thunder squad members along with the princess.

Jinha was standing near the table as Liz and Hak were sitting on the opposite side of princess Hazel, who was leaning back on her chair.

Liz rolled her eyes while Hak stared at him in amusement, while the princess rubbed her forehead, ” Knock it off, Jinha.”

She, then turned to the general and asked, ”What is it?”

The general gulped nervously and announced the dreading news he received, ” We have received news from the lookouts, ten minutes ago, that they have noticed a movement up north and have sent a search party to look into it. But, they haven't received any news from the search party for two days now.”

Hazel's face darkened hearing the news, as she asked, ”Did everyone return to the palace from their lookouts?”

The general shook his head, ”No.. Captain Federick ordered two among them to deliver the news while the rest is still waiting at the lookout for further orders.”

Liz murmured, ”It's happening too early. Why is that so?”

Hak, who heard her, said grimly, ”Maybe because Freya intercepted their plans.”

Hazel frowned as she remembered the red eyes they were discussing before the general came.

She gave out an order, ”Don't waste time looking for the search party. They must be dead to not return after two days. Inform everyone, an urgent meeting is required which will begin after twenty minutes.”

Hazel straightened on her chair and placed both her elbows on the table, while her hands folded in front of her face as she said dangerously, ”We have to be on our guards.”

Hearing this, everyone's face darkened. Jinha narrowed his eyes as he said, ”They have made their move, huh?!”
