After a day of searching for information about Miss Ashcombe, a few people reported seeing her at the shore, but she had left shortly after. The shore was a busy place. Since someone had seen her leaving, it meant two things: either she did not meet Anastasia and had to leave, or she did meet Anastasia and received some instructions.
The commander replied that Anastasia had not brought a new maid into the group. No one had met Miss Ashcombe within the group. This made General Robert feel that the missing piece was this missing lady. After thinking for a while, he decided to continue searching for Miss Ashcombe and sent a message to the palace.
When King George saw his report, he frowned. Of course, he remembered the name. The lady who had replaced Anastasia during the sacrifice had also given her name as Elfrida Ashcombe.
