A few hours ago in the City of Terra…
"What did you just say?" Raigon's anxious voice bellowed through the Castle's private corridor.
He was helping Queen Rose in watering her lush garden. But Azra called him aside with a valuable piece of alarming news that made his blood run cold.
"Zoe went on a cruise to Ball's Pyramid." Azra repeated back to him in a discreet whisper.
Prince Raigon had briefed him to appoint a Yang spy for Zoe as soon as he arrived back at the City of Terra.
Azra knew some local fellows who were faithful with respect to the imperial household as he. Raigon commanded him to single out one whom he could sincerely trust to thoroughly check on her and make sure she was safe.
"This is ill-luck." He muttered fiercely as he instantly rushed to the Prince's private chamber.
In a flash of lightning, Raigon changed into his layman's wardrobe and bolted to the extensive stable.
