Her maid carried Karen in her arms as she walked behind her.Maria was impressed with all she saw and kept on nodding her head as they all greeted her. " The Luna is here", they chorused , prostrating themselves before her.The look on their faces showed that they were happy that she had left the comfort of her courts to come see how the work was going. " She would make a good leader", someone said." I'm sure she will, the way she carries everyone along is so encouraging", another said.Maria smiled as she kept examining all the work done, Lucy sites her from a distance and quickly walks towards her. She sees Karen who is carried by the maid and plays with the little baby when Maria notices her presence." My lady", Lucy said , seeing that Maria was looking at her. " You've been quite distant this days Luciana and I'm wondering what you've been up to. What has been taking your time these days?"Maria a

Lucy had been so worried throughout the day that Maria had noticed how disturbed she was . She had to make out time when the maids were out of the courts to discuss with Lucy and know what the problem was. "Lucy ",she called ."I have noticed since your arrival to the courts today that you have been so disturbed ,do you care to share with me what the matter is?", Maria asked.Lucy remained calm for a long time ,but she knew that the best person to share her problems with, was Maria because their relationship had been a tight and successful one from day one. "It's my daughter Irene , my lady. Of late she has been on my neck to tell her where her father is and I do not know what answers I am to give her ",Lucy said.

Carlo had searched through the Night Whole pack, where Irene had said they went to before Karen began missing. He had walked through the pack with two of his men, but no one seemed to know the girl he spoke of.Carlo got a bit scared and confused, he hoped that nothing had gone wrong with Karen and that she had not fallen into the hands of very dangerous people.She didn't know anyone there and if she might not be able to know he way round the pack, should in case she tries to escape.Carlo knew it wasn't a time to relent, Maria was hoping on him and it was time for him to prove to her that he really cared about her and her daughter.He had to spilt up with two of his men ,which he directed to different angles to find Karen. It occured to him ,that he was meant to visit the arena where Irene stated that they had both gone to. When he got there , it was locked and he found out that there wasn't anyone in it.

Carlo walked into the ball where he had seen the girl which looked like Karen enter. She wore a purple dress like that of a ball dancer, but her head was covered with a hoodie. it was so cold that night and the heavy breeze blew the hoodie on her head which revealed little strips of her golden hair." Make sure not to miss her", Carlo said to his men as they disbanded themselves into different corner of the building.The crowd was much and as soon as she entered the hall, he missed her.He kept searching and trying to push as much people as possible out of the way to reach her ,but only got trapped in the crowd of dancers."
