"Search the cave." She said. The messenger nodded and disappeared again.

The cave was empty. There were no kids nor Cressida. When the messengers informed the queen about it. She personally visited the cave to look.

She halted in front of the place where Cressida was tied. Her eyes burned with anger. She fisted her hands and gritted her teeth. The chains Cressida was tied to were empty. Hanging down all opened. The cuffs were undone. Chains were thrown aside.

The Queen turned around angrily at the messenger.

"Search everywhere." She said. Floating closer to them, she added. "I want all three of them alive."

The messengers nodded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
