----------------------------------------------------

"Yuma's gone missing!" Kai exclaimed, panting slightly since he had just raced his way to where you, the other knights, the princess candidates, Myron, prince Luntian and a few of his men were. Judging by the way he was dressed - or rather, not dressed - he had just gotten out of bed and learned that the orphan boy indeed wasn't there when he woke up.

Everyone was just getting ready to get going, but hearing about this rather bad news, you couldn't help but get even more worried than the tree of beginning mission had already made you. Rouen seemed to be the most surprised one out of your group. "What?!" He usually refrained himself from acting on impulse, but knowing how careful Kai always is, made him restless about the matter. "What do you mean?"

"He's gone! I-I don't how but-...!" This was the first time you had seen Kai behave so desperately and knowing how he usually showed himself as indifferent, made you feel even worse. Rouen cut him off by hugging the younger and patting his head. "Calm down, we'll find him, alright? Let's go get you some clothes for now."

And just like that, the two knights made their way to their shared room to do just what the one-eyed man had said. "Yuma? Is that the child that was with you most of the time? I can tell my guards to go look for him if you wish." Prince Luntian suggested, glancing at Doni since he was the one in charge here. His gesture was very much appreciated.

"Say, where is that peasant advisor of yours? Doesn't she always stick close to you?" Loraine who didn't seem too surprised of Yuma's disappearance asked her older brother, crossing her arms in front of her chest. The answer the blond gave her, caused her to frown even more than she already was: "She said she had something important to finish, so she'll join us later."

"When will we be going again?" Fotula asked concerning the trip back to Rota. In the end, your group had managed to come to an agreement; The princess candidates and Myron were to return to your kingdom with Sir Tristan and his squad. "We agreed with the second division that you'd get going after lunch today."

After reviewing the necessary things with the girls, Rouen and Kai returned, the brunet not looking too good. "Y-You didn't find him?" Liliana asked worriedly, only to get a shake of the head from the two.

"Is it really alright for us to leave now? Maybe we should look for Yuma first..." You thought aloud and reflexively turned around to face Aaron who stood next to you. He shared your same opinion, but sadly the mission was always a priority in your line of work. The silver haired female was the one to offer her help this time: "W-We can look for Y-Yuma before we leave, so d-don't worry!"

"Yes, leave the search to us and focus on your goal." Fotula backed her favorite girl up, gaining a glance from Kai who ended up approaching her. The rest of you had almost no choice but to head for the exit of the palace. The dark skinned male put something in Fotula's hand: One of his Old balls. He leaned closer to her ear and started whispering something: "I'm entrusting you with this. I have a feeling you'll need it. He's very fast on his feet."

"And Rouen says to consult with and listen to blondie over there. Don't trust anyone in this castle." The brunet added before pulling away and nodding into Loraine's direction. That was the last thing he said before everyone left in the hall joined the rest who was outside.

Guards had prepared your Mudsdale and bags filled with other equipment and nutriments. As much as you didn't want to look at this situation that way, this mission was most likely your last one. That meant now was the time to bid farewells to everyone.
