Maeve shot him a glare. She shouted as loud as she could which still came out as a squeak. "Can't you see how ill I am? The spell that I cast around the palace was not as powerful as it should have been but I was sure that it would hold Emma!" Even she started doubting her own magic. She had never felt so helpless. 

"Well, I know you are ill, but now what will you do, Maeve?" Lazarus asked as he went to sit at the edge of her bed. Magnus and Yul continued to stand there with the guard in between them. 

Half an hour back they had called a few guards and announced to them to go and look for Emma outside the palace. They had convinced their leader to speak the lie in front of Maeve in a way that she believed him. The guard was so scared of the three ferocious vampires that he did what was asked of him. He knew that after this he was on his own even if the truth came out. Obviously, the royals would deny. So he had to be extremely convincing.
