Chapter 730 Missing person- Part 2

Though Penny and Damien had completed the mission in the land of Mythweald, the trouble that had brewed before they had left had only turned bigger. The people in Quinn's mansion were troubled by the fact that the youngest daughter of Quinn had not returned back home for almost three days now.

Penny hadn't expected they would be returning to the mansion with the news of Grace going missing.

"I told you, she must be in some sort of trouble! Why aren't the officials doing anything?" asked Lady Fleurance to her husband.

Gerald tried to calm his wife when he replied with, "The matter has been informed to the council and I have asked them to send out order about her being missing and to let people know if they have seen her."

The vampiress shook her head, "It has been two days and there has been no report. Nothing!"

Damien who was seated in the room along with the rest of the family members asked, "What time did she leave? Did she take the carriage?"

Lady Fleurance for once had decided to cope up with Damien as the matter concerned her daughter, "She left three days ago. It was early in the morning when you and your father left for work. We women were speaking...and she left out in anger."

He narrowed his eyes at her when he asked, "What was the talk about?"

Penny was the one to answer his question as she didn't know how much more Lady Fleurance would try to twist her words, "It was the topic about marrying a lower status person. We had some disagreement about it."

Damien turned to look at the servant who was waiting on them at that hour, "Go fetch the coachman. All of them and bring them here," the servant bowed her head and quickly bolted out of the room as the tension in the room was only rising with every minute.

His half-sister was a naive and spoilt vampiress. No matter how many tantrums she threw at everyone, he was sure that Grace had some sense when it came to not worrying about her family. Fleurance's eyes had turned red as she hadn't been sleeping and kept waiting for her daughter to return back.

Fights between them were very common therefore he didn't heed to the matter. It was a daily routine under the house of Quinn's where they kept jabbing at each other. When the three coachmen came with the servant, they stood in line with their heads bowed down.

"Who took Grace out three days ago?" Damien asked looking at the men who were all humans. He heard the one on the right gulp who lifted his head to say,

"I took her out, Master Damien."

"Tell me what happened?" Damien knew that his family must have already enquired it but he wanted to do it again.

"Lady Grace, she wanted to head near the town of Isle Valley that day but when we reached two towns before we could reach, she made me stop," said the coachman.

"Why? Did she tell anything on why she was stopping?"

The man shook his head, "No. She didn't say anything. She asked me to pull over at the village and then said to go back to the mansion as she wouldn't be needing the ride."

It would be only right on his part to follow the words of the lady than the question on why and what, "I returned back to the mansion after dropping her."

"Did you go check in the town where she got down if anyone knows about her whereabouts?" This time Damien looked at his father and the vampiress who was sitting next to him.

Gerald replied to him, "We did. We got the posters drawn and we have placed it all over the towns and villages but we have received no news from anyone about her. We asked the people she often talks to but we found nothing from them either."

"You can leave," Damien waved his hand at the coachman who left the room, "I don't think the coachman has anything to do with the disappearance."

"No, we don't think either," Maggie responded to this before saying, "I asked them earlier and also the servants. He was out for only twenty minutes. We had a background check made with the people he knows and talks but he's clean."

Damien leaned his back against the chair he sat in, "Do you think she went on a vacation?"

Lady Fleurance would have glared if the matters right now were not serious but she had to bring her daughter back home. Something told her that her daughter was in grave danger, "She wouldn't go without her clothes or shoes. Everything is untouched. I looked at the money and she hasn't taken them either."

After discussing it, Penny and Damien sat back in the room when he saw his father take his wife out of the room. Lady Maggie excused herself as well and Damien asked,

"Did any of the council members visit in the last three days?"

"None," Caitlin replied to him as she was the one who was living here.

"You think it is a councilman who has taken Grace away?" Penny asked him.

He sighed, running his hand through his hair, "It is good to not rule them out. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them enticed her with sweet words and asked her to revolt against the family. People can be condescending and vengeful by having family members stand against each other but then I doubt Grace would do something so childish."

Penny wondered where Grace went without letting one know where she would be. The Quinn's family were worried about her whereabouts. Three days was a lot and one could only think that something bad had occurred.

Though Damien and Maggie fought with their half-sister, she could tell that they were worried about her. Their banter had been something that was very common, she wondered if the girl had taken Maggie or Penny's words in anger that had her leave home.

"We'll find her. If she's run away from the mansion, she will come back. The posters are often effective and finding people gets less hard," spoke Damien, standing up from the chair, he left the room so that he could go meet his parents while leaving the two ladies alone in the room.

"How have you been doing, Penelope?" Caitlin asked, noticing the light bruises on one side of Penny's face. They hadn't got to speak to each other because of Grace's disappearance which Penny and Damien had found out two hours ago.

"I am doing okay," she nodded her head, "Sorry for leaving you alone here," she apologized as she had disappeared out from the mansion with little to no words.

"Don't worry about it. I know there were important things to do. Good to see you back home," Caitlin spoke softly to her niece. If both Damien and Penny were not running to the council and were here, it meant all had gone well and her mind was at ease with this. But at the same time, the people in this house had been anxious, "Let's hope someone comes here with the information about Grace."

"Yes," Penny breathed the words.
