QUEEN ROSE'S POV
Queen Rose sat on her throne, tapping her fingers impatiently against the armrest.
It had been hours since she had ordered the guards to search for Jasmine, and yet nobody had returned with any useful information.
She was going mad.
How could an entire kingdom fail to find one young woman?
Her granddaughter was missing, and all they could bring her were excuses.
"Your Majesty."
Queen Rose lifted her head.
One of the royal guards had entered the throne room and was now kneeling before her.
"What is it?" she asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, we have searched the surrounding villages and questioned everyone who might have seen Princess Jasmine. Unfortunately, we have not found her."
Queen Rose's face immediately darkened.
"Not found her?"
The guard lowered his head.
"No, Your Majesty."
She rose from her throne.
"What exactly have you been doing all this time?"
"Your Majesty, we have—"
"Don't you dare give me another excuse!" she shouted.
