The Author's POV.
"Mother I am sure his friends will know what happened to him. I think we should call them instead" queen Annabelle suggested
"Yes Annabelle. You are right. I was told that he left with them before the illness started."
A guard was sent to go and bring the boys to the palace.
An hour later, the guard returned with Sigurd and Mustapha who were confused as to why they were been summoned by the queen mother. She never liked them so they didn't need any one to tell them that it was trouble knocking.
"Greetings your highness" they bowed when they saw Queen mother Daria. No response.
She was silent for about three minutes. All these while she stared at them making them more scared.
"What happened to Stefan the day you went out with him?" She finally spoke.
