The news said there was no intel on the Princes and their escorts that had gone to the Tree Line. It was suspicious and a cause for alarm but Gia had said to her while dressing her hair…
"Come on now, my deity. If anyone could protect the Princes, it was themselves. Whatever challenges they might be facing – if there were any, do you think if the Princes weren't able to save themselves, ordinary divine persons like security and the cops could?"
Gia had made a point. The news thought so too and everyone concluded that the Princes were safe even if they weren't safe. The press said that Prince Bor might just be pulling a prank on his brothers.
Nobody knew the Princes were actually fighting for their lives in the hands of their mother. Nobody knew Prince Bor, Prince Adrain, Matron Valentina, and the other escorts were dead.
