General Robert felt that he had offended the king, as he had been given the task of finding and rescuing Anastasia. He was a general responsible for warfare and strategy, not for searching for missing persons. When had he ever been in charge of such a task?
Moreover, looking at the information collected by the previous team searching for Anastasia, he felt it would be better to start afresh.
Anastasia had disappeared into the sea, and not a single trace of her had been found since. There had been no tempest at the time of the incident, so even if she had drowned, finding her should have been easy. Yet, there was no sign of her; not even an earring had fallen off to be found.
"Start the investigation from the evening they arrived at Wiwell Village up until they left shore. Since there is no evidence in the sea, send people to all the shores within the kingdom and those leading to Eastern Gube," Robert ordered after secretly cursing the king in his heart.
