Asking for Help

Sara wasted no time and rushed back to the fair in Paris. Hailing a carriage, she urged the coachman to hurry towards the station of the Axelsen and Nielsen company.

As the carriage pulled up to the station, Sara swiftly disembarked and made her way toward the office, where she spotted Jonathan and Caroline engaged in conversation.

"Sara?" Jonathan stood up, his face etched with surprise. "Why are you here? I thought the ship left six hours ago? Where is Poul?"

Sara's eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head. Jonathan and Caroline instantly grasped the seriousness of the situation, although they couldn't pinpoint the exact details.

"Poul... Poul... has been taken by Prince Alexander," Sara revealed, her voice trembling. "He's been forcibly taken aboard a ship bound for London... They discovered... they discovered everything!"

"Damn, it..." Jonathan cursed. "So he found out about your relationship, huh?"
