"Search everywhere for the princess, we are all dead if we don't find her by dusk" Loïc screamed into the wilderness, leaping on forest trees with the others. They had been searching for her since last night but couldn't find her and now the sun was rising and it would start to weaken them but they had no choice but to keep going.
This princess just had to give them a lot of work. Where the fuck did she run to, they thought she wouldn't have gone far with those human legs. Ze'ev had told him to watch her that he suspected she would want to run away while he wasn't around. As expected, Ze'ev was right—again
According to the maid, she heard the noise of shattering glass coming from the room and when she went there to check on the princess…she was gone. The workers said they didn't see her when she stepped out and there was no way she would have left without them noticing, and also, she had Ze'ev scent so there was no way they wouldn't have sniffed her while trying to run.
The worst part of finding this princess was they had a dead line…if they didn't find her by dusk he would be done for. Ze'ev didn't make empty threats so what he said he was going to do to him was exactly what he was going to do.
He was almost relieved his boss didn't say he would take care of it himself.
But what the fuck did he even do!, After this he swore he was going to retire.
"You might want to see this Loïc" Rogue told turning his head to face Myra who was already approaching them but…in someone arms.
Oh Ze'ev was not gonna like to hear this.
They leaped towards Kendrick and surrounded him in swift and graceful movements, almost like they had rehearsed it.
"Woah woah woah" Kendrick stilled and Presley heaved a sigh
"Let me down" he faced her protesting with his eyes
"I am fine, my feet don't hurt anymore" he nodded and gently set her feet on the soft grass.
"Well, good morning to you too" she smiled at the glares they were throwing at her—correction Kendrick
She recognised Loïc, he was one of the people who helped Ze'ev with some stuffs before leaving. She could still recall them having a conversation at the corner of the room and he occasionally glanced at her which made her 100% sure they were talking about her. He was the one who was to look after her while Ze'ev was away. Not like the guy was hard to notice anyway. He was huge and had broad chest…not to talk about how tall he was, the definition of a body guard. No wonder why Ze'ev chose him
"Stay away from him, your highness" he warned and she raised her hands mid air halting them from whatever they were trying to do.
"Kendrick means no harm" she spoke
"You have injured feet, little bruises on your face and scratches on your body, how are we supposed to believe that" Loïc argued
"I'm serious, he helped me, he didn't hurt me I hurt myself while I was running" Kendrick stood still not knowing what to do while Myra defended him.
"How do we know he didn't threaten you to say that before we found you"
"You didn't find me, I was already on my way back"
"Step away your highness"
"You're overthinking the situation" she was frustrated
"There's no such thing as overthinking a situation" if you work for Ze'ev that is
"Listen to me your highness I know-"
"No! You listen to me!…Kendrick has done nothing but help me so stop being an ungrateful bastard and let him go, weren't you looking for me? Well I'm right here, take me home JESUS CHRIST!!!!" They all flinched at her agressive behaviour in exception of Ken.
"Fine" Loïc gave in and heaved a sigh. Kendrick eyes moved to myra's and she nodded for him to go, giving a reassuring smile that she was okay with this over protective people. He nodded goodbye and leaped away from her sight.
Loïc signalled rogue to take the princess home and he nodded and obeyed without hesitation.
"Excuse me your highness" he scooped her up and she scowled. Tired of people scooping her up like she was some fragile glass. This was all Ze'ev and Esmira's fault!
Loïc slipped his hands in his packets and pulled his phone out, he dailed his boss' number and placed the phone beside his ear
One ring
Two ring
Three-
"We found her, sir" his voice didn't sound as nervous as it did when he called last night. Ze'ev muscles worked
"Lock her in her room, make sure she doesn't come out until I get back…give her anything she asks for and don't starve her" he was about to hang up and go on with the meeting he was currently in but Loïc halted him
"But-"
"What is it?" His voice was gruff
"A man brought her" he informed and Ze'ev shut his eyes. He rested his elbow on the table and rubbed his eyes heaving a deep sigh which had an hint of anger in it. So she came back herself…with a guy
Don't overthink it Ze'ev
Don't
They were all the same—females
"What's his name?"
"Kendrick Rhett" and with that little piece of information given to him he hung up instantly. Loïc had told someone to follow Kendrick and come back with enough details Incase Ze'ev asked, he was proud of himself since his hard work seemed to had payed off. Ze'ev signalled a lady beside him with his fingers and she bent her head until her ear was few inches away from his lips.
"Find out every. single. detail. on Kendrick Rhett" he whispered. He thought he told Myra to stay away from other men. Did she really think he was joking or just didn't fear him at all.
The lady nodded and stepped out of the room immediately, the sound of her heels piercing through the awkward silence lingering like a thick fog in the meetings room.
"You may proceed" he finally permitted the middle aged man that he'd shut up minutes ago when he received a call from Loïc.
