The men who abducted the girls dumped the unconscious women inside the empty carriage, bound their hands and feet with a rope, and put a gag on their mouth.
Done.
The carriage began moving forward, getting out of the vicinity of the Mayor's residence.
Half an hour later.
The carriage was already traveling away from the town of South Pond.

Back in the Masquerade Party.
Nicholas looked at his sons. "Where are they - the girls? Why until now they haven't back here at our table yet?" he asked.
"I saw them in the koi pond earlier," Cooper said, sipping on his glass of wine.
Graven rose to his feet. "I'll look for them around..." he said and left the table.
He went to the koi pond and searched for the girls. He can't find them near the area. In the next hour, he went searching for them around the party venue, and yet he still can't find them.
Did the girls exit the venue?
