Ian and Ilona were sitting at the table in the dining room, exhausted and defeated when Delaney and Vincent came down to join them. The Duchess looked around in concern before taking her seat and asking the siblings where their younger brothers were.
"They've gone to look for our father," Ian answered her, "They came back here last night, but when we told them what happened, they left to find him."
"I thought you didn't want to tell your father?" Delaney asked, looking to Ilona now in surprise.
"I didn't," she frowned, not looking up, "But since the King and his brother won't help us, we're going to have to."
"We have to tell him because he's our only chance of getting our brother and sister back now," Ian explained further, shooting his sister a look, "We should have gone to him in the first place probably, but he's going to be very angry."
Ilona knew angry was an understatement.
