Aside from the Royal Family and the families involved, the other noble families had no idea that the three ducal princesses were abducted. The knights who last saw them quickly reported it to their king. They said the intruders in the Royal Palace brought the three ducal princesses with them and disappeared using a magic scroll.
King Galia quickly send his knights to look for the young ladies. He ordered them to lock the border gates and keep an eye on the seaport just in case the intruders will escape from their kingdom. The king also informed the knights not to tell anyone what truly happened in the palace. He will disguise their mission as secret surveillance for the debut party to prevent any unfortunate event to happen tonight.
