Since they were on their feet, it would take at least three to four days in reaching Mazic.
Since Derrick could walk now, they only stopped to have lunch and then dinner where they had some rest as well.
They didn't dare to go to an inn fearing that they would be caught.
When almost a day passed, Evelyn and Derrick finally reached a village where they heard people talking about the disappearance of the King from the Palace.
"I heard from a shopkeeper when I went to town today that the new princess consort who had married Prince Regan recently took away His Majesty with her people. Prince Raphael is trying to find His Majesty and has promised a huge award if someone returns His Majesty safe and sound."
"The new princess consort did this….how daring of her to do such a thing!"
"Right!...In the end, she was a slave, you can't let them step higher because they soon show their true colors."
