Yarinâs POV:
âYou have to stay in the tent today, my dear,â our mom reminded
Heller. âYouâre exhausted. I donât think I can support you to go out and play crazily.â
Heller lowered his head as he started to observe the tentâs entrance once a few seconds.
I didnât stay but left with my parents. They saw I had something to ask, so they asked me what was wrong.
âHas Lily come back?â I didnât see her in the tent. Kara returned with us, and I didnât see anyone with her.
âNot yet. Why?â
I immediately told them that Lily had also gone hunting down the suspicious man, but I didnât see Lily after he was arrested. She didnât show up after the whole parade ended.
âIâm worried that sheâs in danger. I didnât see which path she went into. Maybe she met another criminal. Now that the criminal has been caught, I must ask him about Lilyâs whereabouts.â
Lilyâs disappearance made everyone in the tent nervous. My mother immediately ordered the interrogation of the criminal and sent several security teams to search for Lily.
The safety of the Moonlight Festival was also a question mark due to Lilyâs disappearance. The backup guards were dispatched, and more police officers patrolled the streets to ensure the safety of the tourists.
When Francis heard that his granddaughter was missing, he immediately sent out the Silver Moon familyâs private forces to search for Lily. The old man, who was almost seventy years old, frowned. He was anxious about his granddaughterâs safety.
I didnât dare to face him because I promised him I would take good care of Lily in the morning, but before the day ended, I had failed him.
I hesitated before whispering, âIâm sorry, Mr. Quinn. I couldnât protect Lily.â
Francis was in a daze. He was slightly shocked by my words. After hearing my apology, he only smiled bitterly and patted my shoulder. âThis is not your fault, Your Highness. You are just a child, so it is not your fault. Be it the attack or Lilyâs disappearance, itâs all because of us adultsâ incompetence and inability to fulfill our responsibilities.â
He sighed faintly and said, âThis is the Silver Moon Pack. No criminal can escape the eyes of His Majesty and the Silver Moon family. Lily will be fine. Please donât worry. Maybe she just saw an interesting performance and was delayed for a while?â
I couldnât comfort Francis, but he comforted me instead, which made me feel a little defeated.
There seemed to be nothing I could do to help in this tent. My parents were calmly coordinating everything. The Silver Moon Pack was doing its best to find Lily. Even Heller was overworking himself to protect the people.
I was the only one who enjoyed the comfort and protection of others and could only worry, but worrying was useless.
I didnât want this to happen. I couldnât enjoy the Moonlight Festival with a clear conscience. I desperately wanted to do something, even if it was a little help. For Lily, for my oath.
I looked at my mother. She was giving instructions to the captain of the guards. She was very busy, and I couldnât add to her troubles. As my motherâs assistant, my father was also busy.
I couldnât get over Francis. He loved his granddaughter very much but had to take responsibility for the family. He wouldnât agree to let me take the risk for her.
The only person I could talk to was Aunt Teresa. However, her brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were red. She seemed worried about her daughterâs disappearance, but she also seemed to think this was another rebellion by Lily. She was on the verge of exploding.
Her son, Lilyâs older brother, Alfred, was talking to her. He looked anxious and kept looking outside the tent as if he was arguing with Aunty Teresa.
However, Aunt Teresa only shook her head as she appraised him. No matter what her son said, she would not agree.
Realizing that he could not change his motherâs attitude, Alfred had no choice but to stop temporarily.
At this moment, I walked over. Aunt Teresa immediately smiled when she saw me, although her tears were still pooling in her eyes, and her eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.
I tried to comfort her, but she laughed it off and paid more attention to me than Lily. âPlease do not worry, Your Highness. Lily does this now and then. I am very good at dealing with it.â
âItâs not like she ran away from home this time.â I didnât like her attitude toward Lily. âYou know what happened just now. Lily might be in danger.â
However, Aunt Teresa seemed determined to think this was Lilyâs antics. Even Alfred could not stand it anymore. âYouâre always prejudiced against Lily, Mother. Thatâs why sheâs unwilling to communicate with you.â
Aunt Teresa suddenly flew into a rage because of this. She scolded and complained to her son in a low voice. Alfred could only endure it helplessly except for occasionally interrupting.
It was obvious Aunt Teresa usually had a tough attitude toward her children. Both Lily and Alfred were already used to it.
I looked at the mother and son, especially Alfred. It seemed that he was not a bad brother.. If we are all worried about Lily, maybe we could cooperate?
