Chapter 135

"I can't find her," Sia exclaimed, his voice filled with urgency, as he burst into the queen's lavishly adorned chambers. The grandeur of the room, with its rich tapestries and glistening chandeliers, seemed to pale in comparison to the distress etched across his face. Alarmed by her son's unexpected entrance, Queen Dogara swiftly dismissed the maid who had been attending to her, the servant scurrying away with a bewildered look.

Turning her attention to her agitated son, Dogara's regal countenance remained unruffled, a stark contrast to Sia's evident turmoil. The room, adorned with opulent furnishings and framed by large, ornate windows, seemed to freeze in the tense moment as the queen waited for Sia to elaborate on the cause of his frantic intrusion.

"You can't find whom?" Dogara asked coolly, sipping chamomile tea.

"Don't act dumb with me," Sia sneered. "You know exactly who I'm talking about."

"Enlighten me, because I don't."

"Crinka," he snarled.
