On getting to the crime scene, king Edward observe the place, he said "my daughter must be around here search every nook and corner of this place" but after searching for a while there was still no clue
King Edward started walking further into the dark forest, his general and his men quickly followed him "your highness maybe your should wait out here, the forest is too dangerous and we don't know where the princess currently is, what if we get lost in the forest"
"I Have waited long enough, I'm not waiting another seconds" the king relied.
And so the king and his men started searching the nyx vil forest, after searching for a while his general came to him and said "your highness we can't go further into the forest than we already have, it will be too dangerous and we make get lost or attack by one of those monsters".
The king look ahead, it was quite darker on that side and the feel sends shiver down ones spin but he didn't want to give up and for some reasons his guts was telling him his daughter was close by. He said to his general "I'm not giving up, no it can't end here, lets just go a little further"
His men obediently followed him after all they couldn't disobey their king.
After walking a bit into the darker part of the forest where the tall trees couldn't let the sun ray of light pass through, creating shades but a darker kind of shade, his soldiers immediately started searching the whole place, one of his men came to him, "your highness we found a small cave close to the nearby stream"
"Take me there immediately"
On getting to the cave, the king with his general, and few soldiers went into the cave, because only them could go into the cave, because of the size of the cave. After going a bit into the cave, they lit their touches and raised it to see properly because the cave was a bit dark and just then, his general called for his attention in a high pitch voice "sir"
The king immediately looked where his general was pointing at and his body froze, there on the cold floor Was his little baby girl lying cold on the floor, she wasn't even moving, his heart sank, he felt air left his lungs and he couldn't breathe.
On seeing their king not moving to check if his daughter was still alive or dead, general mofus signal one his men to go and check, the man quickly went to the princess side to check her pulse "your highness she is still very much alive"
On hearing this, the king finally release the breath he was holding and rush to his daughter side, he gently shook her and called out her name "rayka, rayka baby wake up daddy is here to take you home"
Rayka weakly open her eyes and said in a weak voice "father! father is that really you and I'm not dreaming about you"
"No baby you aren't dreaming I'm here with and you are safe now" he immediately carried her in his arms, he hugged her tightly "oh my sweet child you don't know how worried I was, I'm sorry for not coming sooner, you don't know how happy I am that I finally in my arms and I will make sure nothing like this ever happen again" he promised.
"I'm also very happy to see you father" rayka replied weakly,
"Shh it's ok you're safe now"
They immediately left the cave and headed back to the palace, while rayka fell asleep in her father arms cause she was very weak and hungry.
