"Sis, how long do we have to stay inside the house?" Elina asked, crossing her arms tightly over her chest. "I wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some snacks, but the guard wouldn't even let me step out. He said I should tell him what to bring and he would."
"Prince Dominick has given the orders," Jeniva answered as she moved toward the kitchen. "Until he clears it, we're grounded. For that to happen, the real culprit has to be caught."
"Aren't they being too slow? Why couldn't they capture the person who sent that attacker after you by now?" Elina grumbled, flopping back onto the mini sofa in the living room. "It feels like we're the ones in prison while the bad guy is out there enjoying the fresh air."
Jeniva paused at the kitchen entrance, looking back at her sister with a weary smile. "It's an investigation, Elina. It takes time. Dominick isn't just looking for a thief. The perpetrator used a burner phone to call the hunter."
