Chapter 275: Out of the kingdom

Another cold night descended on the land, and still Ara wasn’t found anywhere in Findara, despite the forces of the king and even the Boxton family her whereabouts were still unknown.

Meanwhile in the palace, far away in the soldiers quarters, inside one of the rooms Emma and Oliver, including Merek stood around a table surrounded by candlelights as Emma was trying to make her spells, her hazel eyes had turned completely white and her right palm glowed a faint bluish light that began to grow more vivid as she placed it on the table where some runes were drawn and also some strands of red hair was wrapped around a stick and placed in the middle of the runes.

"I still can’t track her whereabouts..." Emma declared with lines formed on her forehead bringing her brows together in a frown, "It’s like she’s far away, too far, I can’t feel her presence anywhere close." She murmured softly as her hazel eyes returned to normal and the light in her hand disappeared. She had reached her limit of using magic for a day, she’d been doing it for almost an hour now. However, Merek frowned,

"What do you mean? I thought you said you can find her if you have something of hers? Do you know the time you made us waste here, we’d have gone on with our search, if you hadn’t interrupted?" Merek demanded with slight irritation, his usual indifferent expression showed emotions in the presence of others for the first time. He was supposed to lead some troops to search for Ara in all the warehouses situated along the outskirts of Findara, but then Emma had interrupted them.

"I..." Emma’s eyes filled with tears, it was somehow her fault, if she knew Ara would be suddenly kidnapped that day, she wouldn’t have allowed her go in the first place. And since she was no where to be found in Findara, Emma had revealed her ability to Merek and also offered to help track Ara with her powers. Merek had been surprised at first, but Oliver was the first to accept her help since he knew about her being a witch from the day Ara and Hamon were ambushed, she had told him about it then.

But now, not even her witch powers could track Ara, but nevertheless, she understood why Merek was being this way, it was because of Hamon. Hamon hadn’t returned to the palace since after the search was over in Findara, the whole kingdom had been combed in search however it was as if every single trace of her had been wiped out of the whole kingdom, but regardless, Hamon had gone on searching on his own, saying he would leave no stone unturned in the kingdom and outside of it until he found his wife.

They were all worried about his well being, which was why they’d been doing their best to find her before hell comes loose in the kingdom, because it was a known fact that if the demon king didn’t find his wife, then only havoc could be expected.

Emma said to Merek,"I...I am trying my best, I am not an expert at this yet but I will try again_"

Oliver frowned deeply as he pulled Emma away from the table, "No, there’s no need to keep trying, you’ve done the best you can, let’s leave the rest to the troops." He then turned to Merek, "You should watch how you speak to her, Merek, she’s also trying here. I know you’re worried about his majesty and his wife, so are we. And it would be best if we don’t go pouring our irritations on others, Emma also cares about the queen, which is why she has been here helping."

"You...!" Merek wanted to speak, but then closed his mouth, he glanced at the pair for some moment before walking out of the room without a word.

"Emma, don’t let his words get to you, Merek has been acting grouchy lately, even before her majesty went missing. And now, it has somehow gotten worse." Oliver remarked as he approached the table where Emma had been doing her magic.

"He is heart broken, and also feeling bad for not protecting lady Ara, for Anne and his majesty’s sake..." Emma muttered subconsciously in a low voice where her lips barley moved, before realizing she’d gotten into Merek’s mind and quickly shook her head to clear it out. But frowned, why would he be worrying about Anne when Ara was the one kidnapped? She mused.

Emma soon dismissed the thought as she remembered Ara’s current situation. She was pregnant...

"Oliver, I am worried about her majesty...what if something happens to her or her unborn child?"

Hearing her words, Oliver who was now blowing off the candles around the table stopped, "Her unborn child?" He asked in confusion as he turned to Emma.

Emma nodded, she hadn’t told anyone yet about Ara’s pregnancy as she’d promised to keep it a secret, but now that things had turned out this way. It would be best if Hamon knew about it too,

"Yes, lady Ara is pregnant...She was going to tell his majesty about it when he returns from Bredon, but this happened..." Emma felt her throat tighten with emotions, what if she was being tortured by her captives?

Oliver regained from his shocked state and strode towards Emma, he pulled her in a hug as he noticed the tears glimmering in her hazel eyes, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to her majesty, we will find her soon..."

"But we don’t even know where she is at the moment. We don’t know whether she’s alive or dead..." She muttered. "Even the soldiers are unable to find her, not even his majesty could find her."

Oliver’s face also contorted with worry,"It could be possible that she is no longer in Findara, maybe her captives had taken her away from the kingdom. But if that is the case...It would be hard to find her anytime soon, and I’m afraid what his majesty would do if he doesn’t find her, or when he learns about her pregnancy." Oliver said with a distant look as he continued to hug Emma. If Ara wasn’t found, things might soon go out of hand if it really turned out her captives had taken her out of the kingdom.

"I hope she’s not being treated harshly wherever she is being held..." Emma murmured against Oliver’s chest as tears of regret continued to roll down her cheeks.

"You should go and find his majesty and tell him about her pregnancy, and also the fact that she might no longer be held in Findara." Emma told Oliver as she pushed away from the hug, and he nodded thoughtfully, "...I will tell him once I see him, I don’t know where he went to at the moment, he is too worried about her majesty to stay put in the palace. But I’ll go and check the possible places I know he might be at." He said then placed a kiss on Emma’s hair,

"You should also rest, Emma it’s late." He said softly, and Emma nodded, only then did Oliver leave the room to go in search of Hamon. While Emma walked back to the table where some candles were still lit, she tucked her hand inside her dress pocket and brought out the stone of Helga, which she had been working on destroying,

"My lady, if I can’t help to find you, then I’ll do this much for you...I will try my best to destroy the stone before you return...I just hope you’re safe and still alive."
