" Any information detected regarding the queen, Sergeant? " he questioned.

" No, Sir. We haven't. " the Sergeant stated, the young man gritted his teeth in sync with his fists.

" Haven't I ordered you? It has been a week, now! If we don't find my queen any time soon, the netizen's will accuse us for her sudden disappearance! We must find her at once! " the young man ordered.

" We are doing everything we can, Sir. "

" Everything? Everything, indeed! If you don't find my future wife soon, all of you will be executed! Understood? " he yelled.

The young man was frustrated upon losing his fiancée. Clearly, he was violating the rules upon cheating, that is why he wants the queen alive, because he believes that if she is beside him, she can protect him.

Luna is not stubborn, She is not weak.

That's what Ford thought of her, underestimating her was what he had in mind.

Ford, being the proud and boastful man he is, thought he could order people around. He barely cared that the queen's mother and father are still standing.

All he wanted was the power, able to control their planet.

Meanwhile, Luna. She can clearly see what incident was occuring back in her planet, but remained silent about it.
She knew she can be able to return soon.

Every night, this is what she's witnessing in her mind.

Torture. Pain. Agony.

But even so, she could not do anything about it for she was detained in a planet called Earth.

The screams of agony, by her innocent people, was what she was suffering all the time.

As for Ford, Pride and jealousy took over him. Somehow, he thought of ways on how to get rid of his fiancée.

At first, he thought that it wasn't a good idea, to ever think of things such as that.
But, as time went by, he let himself get carried away, and slowly, got used to the thoughts rummaging through his mind.

Luna, was completely aware of these. After all, she could hear his negative commentary about her, how she was not to be called Queen at all. In fact, she shouldn't be meant to be.

At least, that's what he thought.

Luna, would just smile to herself, hearing those filthy words come out of him.
It was considered unfortunate, and unusual, of the fact, that it wasn't positive.

Still, she kept a good composure.
Tried her best to look alive, but, inside, she was completely dying in pain.

It was as if she was wearing a mask, a mask that would hide her true identity, in order to be loved.

But, even so, she could not reveal herself, for she was afraid, that people will bring hatred towards her.
She is a Queen, no matter what.

Some may say, she is immortal.
The Immortal Queen, rather.

However, Ford wanted the crown all to himself.

With anger, he shot one of Queen Luna's most trusted partners, without any valuable reason.

" Any tracks, Val? " he shifted in his seat, eyes on the monitor.

" She left without any trace, even her own footprints are divisible. "

The man sighed, unable to contain his anger anymore.

He held his head down low, as a few tears landed on the ground.

" Don, We'll find her. " The middle aged woman smiled, whilst holding the other man's hand.

" I know, woman. Be Quiet. " the woman flinched, upon hearing her husband's statement. He couldn't bare any second without his daughter.

Their heads held high, upon the sound of men rushing through the palace gates.
The old couple, hurriedly watched men through the window, signalling the guards to let them in.

" Sir! Sir! I meant no disrespect, but, we have good news! " he panted.

" What is it? Speak up. "

" We found Her Majesty. "

°°°°°

" Are you positive, maybe it's somewhat similar to her. "

" Yes, Sir. We tracked her. We are sure."

" Specific Location! "

" An unusual yet strange planet called, Earth. "
