CHAPTER 14: Revelation from the past

In Cove Town, it was getting dark. The otter was sad, disappointed and desperate, and his partners were too. They had talked with all the possible suspects, and no one showed any sign of lying.

"Oshawott, what are we going to do now?" Tepig asked.

"I don't know Tepig. I've investigated, I've talked with the suspects, but at this moment there's no clue about Snivy's whereabouts."

"Don't feel bad, I'm sure that we'll find her sooner or later;" Piplup spoke.

"Yeah, cheer up at least," Timburr said.

"I can't be cheered, guys. I can't. Snivy is still missing. I did everything possible to find her, but everything was in vain. There're no more things to do, only considered her missing."

"Oshawott, don't give up now, I'm sure there'll be something that will let us find her." Tepig commented.

"The thing is I can't do anything. I did everything, but with no apparent results. No matter how much I search or interrogate, we're not going to find Snivy," he gave a loud sigh," We had no other option than tell Queen Serperior that we couldn't find her daughter. It's sad to accept that, but there no other alternative."

All of them showed sad expressions on their faces, it seems that there's no other way to find princess Snivy no matter how much they tried. They had to considered her missing. For Oshawott, it was a very hard reality that he had to face. Not seeing his Pal in his life ever again. He did everything possible, but still, it wasn't enough. At least he would have his beloved as a memory that he was going to bless with for a long time; however, he would miss her so much. If he only knew something important that would help him in the investigation of the case.

"Oh! Here you are!"

Everyone turned around to see who was it. It was the matchmaker Xatu, that had returned from his trip to his house.

"Oh, Hi, Xatu..." Oshawott said depressed.

"Oshawott, who is he?" Tepig asked.

"Oh, right," changing his mood, "I haven't introduced him to you all. He is Xatu, he is a matchmaker that Queen Serperior hired to get a new boyfriend for princess Snivy."

"Are you talking seriously?" Piplup questioned.

"Yes, we met each other before Snivy disappeared."

"And what does a matchmaker do?" Timburr asked as well.

Xatu explained:

"Well, I'm like an adviser to get mates, what I do is to know them if its mate is more suitable. Queen Serperior hired me to know which prince that she invited was the perfect one for princess Snivy."

"Wow, and how did you go with them?" Piplup asked.

"Well, being honest with you all, it didn't go very well. Snivy's inappropriate attitude during the meetings was incredible for me. She complained and made fun of the guested royal families, as if she didn't want in the beginning. What a spoiled that young girl is."

"Don't say that to Snivy! She's not a spoiled girl." Oshawott shouted.

"Oshawott, why did you get angry and yell like that? It's just an opinion." Tepig said.

"I don't care! Snivy is perfect as she is!"

"Why are you that upset?"

"Well... the thing is... is... Umm..."

"If I remember correctly," Xatu spoke, "I think you told me that you and princess Snivy were boyfriend and girlfriend, isn't it right?"

Hearing that made everyone surprised, while Oshawott got complicated for knowing that his secret was told in front of his friends.
