"Who is missing?" Daimon asked the extremely agitated man who wouldn't stop apologizing and bowing long enough to answer his questions.
"The three sets of triplets Prince Helios brought as part of Cyra's tribute to Emperor Zinj and the Dragorian Empire!" The man finally answered in a jumble rush of words. His tongue tripped him so much he nearly choked on it as he got the words out at last.
Realizing he would get little useful information from the man, Daimon strode towards the quarters where the delegation from Cyra was staying. He needed to see the 'scene of the crime' anyway and talk to the Prince of Cyra himself.
Despite the distance, his long purposeful strides carried him all the way to their quarters in a short time. He was trailed by the desperate man who'd first informed him of the disappearance of the 3 sets of triplets. He was surprised the man could walk as he was wheezing so much. Thankfully, that prevented him from talking any more.
