"Your Majesty, We've lost sight of the prince,"

The head director of the royal guard bows on one knee to King Shawn Grayson and Queen Leilani as he delivers the urgent news. The King slams his fist against the desk in anger and the director flinches, scared to receive any well-deserved punishment for his failure to retrieve the young prince. 

Queen Leilani places a hand on her husband's shoulder and he squeezes his eyes shut while rubbing the bridge of his nose. With the wave of a hand, the guard quickly stands. 

"Please continue the search. I want him found and brought back immediately. Also release a statement to our allies in the British court as well that I would like my son found and returned to me." King Shawn announces and the guard quickly takes his leave. 

The Queen faces her husband, just as concerned. 

"I'm debating having Mari track him," Shawn sighs and Leilani shakes her head. 

"You will do no such thing, my love," She announces and Shawn looks up. 

"Luna, What are you saying? Our only child is running around London without any protection like a delinquent. Anything could happen to him!" Shawn points out. Luna pulls away from him, moving to the wide floor to ceiling wall window of the palace looking over all of Bridgeport. 

"Shawn, Our son has been under our lock and key his entire life," she says, clasping her hands behind her back. 

"Which is exactly why we have to find him. He doesn't know what the real world is like! He is naive!" Shawn groans and Luna makes her way back to her stressed out husband.

 "Shawnie," Her husband opens his bright gray eyes and meets his wife's gaze.

 "You know he didn't like the arranged marriage to the Prince of Moana," She says and he looks down at the ground with a deep sigh. Running his fingers through his thick black hair. 

"This doesn't change the arrangement. He's still engaged, It's too late to go back." Shawn says and Luna gives him another look. 

"You seem to forget how you and I got together," She giggles and he shakes his head. 

"This is different Luna, you didn't run away to another country," I say and she narrows her eyes. 

"Okay, but we came back!" Shawn laughs and Luna joins him. 

"We came back and he will too. Give him some time to explore. Don't set off the GPS just yet. If he doesn't call in a week, then we can track him just to make sure he's okay. Besides, if anything he's with his cousins." She reassures him. 

Shawn sits down on the desk, holding his head in his hands. 

"He's never done anything like this before Luna, I don't understand."
