Swan Lake

Chapter 4

    "There's no sign of him yet your highness..."

"Good gracius where could have that man be?"

Arthur paced back and forth from his study countless of time, disturbed with the message he just got recieved about the unknown location of his dear friend, his studues couldn't be able to let him think straight, his mind was alreadg bombarded with worries and the red haired hunstman could only look at the prince with his troubling face

"The last thing I saw him was his leave during the scouting...." he whispered, silently observating the situation yesterday

"Your highness, do you think he's captured with-"

"No no...I don't believe that..." The Prince breathe nervously "He's a Hunstmans like you Neil, and a very good on too...it's impossible for him to get captured like this..."

Couldn't be able to take his patience anymore, Arthur slammed the shut the book and placed it back on the shelves before walking out from his study

Neil curiously followed him

"Wait, you're highness where are you off to?"

The prince blankly replied "I'm going to find Wyborn..."

"But your highness, your father-"

"Will be okay about this, Neil, I can't just stand idly by while my other friend is out there missing...I have to find him.."

The Hunstsman kept his mouth shut in process, both walking silently across the hallway when another familiar figure appeared from their direction, fixing his raven hair dangling from his shoulders, as soon as his eye met with the prince, the young lad immediately curtsied of respect

"You're highness I had been looking for you..."

The Prince raised his hand to cut the formality "Kubo, we don't need to do that...what is it?"

Kubo stood up and turned back at the hallway

"It's about Wyborn....he's back.."

Their wides went wide in shock

"What?! When?!" Neil asked voice raised in concern

"He was about to went inside at the throneroom.."

Having the information from the royal messenger of the castle, the three men instantly nodded and doubled their pace towards the throneroom

______________________________________

     Kubo was right, as soon as they arrived at the throneroom, their missing friend was casually walking on the marbled floor as if he didn't knew about the the entire kingdom was looking for him, though Kubo could see the troubled face of the Huntsman

"WYBIE!!"

He turned around and saw his friends running in such a hurry

"Neil, Kubo? Eggs?" He whispered

"Where in a world have you been?!?! Last night everyone was so worried that something might have happened to you!" Arthur stomped his foot furiously at him

Wybie shuddered at the worried stares of his friends showing off, almost stumbling back from his ground in the process

"What were you doing last night? Huh?" Neil crossed his arm

"I-I uh..."

"What is with you all of a sudden?" Kubo leaned his body closer, analyzing the Huntsman's flustered face

"I-I fell asleep on a tree, that's all..." he replied nervously, however, the royal messenger was not convinced at the answer, he leaned back again and kept his eye staring in sich suspicion
