One of the Queen's maids came rushing in. She was as pale as a ghost.
"What?!" Vaughn and Zenia uttered at the same time.
Zenia put on her face veil and asked, "Where did you get this report?"
"Your Highness, Y-Your guard told me to inform you now that the carriage that Ms. Verone used was wrecked, and the Crown Prince must see it immediately." The maid explained as best as she could while panting.
Zenia looked at Vaughn, and they both nodded.
"Mother, I will trouble you to contain this news first and don't let it spread yet."
The Queen agreed, "I understand."
They immediately excused themselves to check the situation. The Queen no longer detained them and allowed them to go. Having dinner together as a family could wait for now. When the couple reached the area where the carriages were parked, the shadow guard quickly gave Vaughn the full report.
