A Thorough Search
Felix had been the one taking care of her all this while. This time, Ysabelle wanted to be there to take care of him.
That was why she needed to eat well.
Only then would she be able to appear before him in her best state.
“That’s more like it. Don’t worry. Your uncle and I will definitely find Felix,” Sophie promised. She believed there was nothing they could not do when they teamed up.
“Okay. You should eat, too, Sophie. Let’s eat together.”
“Okay
After breakfast, Ysabelle stared blankly at the sky outside the window. All she could do was pray that Felix was fine. I’ll do anything as long as he’s fine.
“Sophie, you don’t have to stay here to keep me company. I know you and Uncle Tristan have many things to discuss.”
There was nothing Ysabelle could do when it came to searching for Felix, but she did not want to hold them back, either.
Moreover, she was not really a smart person. The only thing she could do was leave it to Tristan and Sophie.
Sophie patted her friend’s hand to calm the latter.
“Relax. It’ll be all right,” she assured. She’s still too nervous. We’ve already analyzed everything we needed to last night. There’s nothing more we can do. We can only take action when we land.
“Okay.” Ysabelle flashed Sophie a smile that looked more miserable than her crying.
Sophie could only gently pat her friend’s face.
“There, there. You don’t have to force a smile. I understand what you’re feeling now.”
Ysabelle leaned on Sophie’s shoulder, not wanting to say a word. She felt awful, but it was not the right time to cry.
Sophie stayed by Ysabelle’s side until the plane landed at Fandar’s airport. Ysabelle almost fell when she got to her feet to exit the plane. Thankfully, Sophie caught the latter in time,
She’s in a terrible state.
“Get yourself together. Felix is an incredible person. You’ve got to believe in him even if you don’t believe in us, okay?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe in you, Sophie. I’m just worried.” After all, Fandar had become a lawless place.
All kinds of people existed there.
One could die there if they were not careful enough.
Holding Ysabelle’s hand, Sophie prompted, “All right. Let’s go. We need to look for Bertram.” They needed. to look for Bertram because he was more familiar with the country.
As soon as they got off the plane, they found Bertram’s men already waiting for them. Hence, they got into the car and went straight to their base in Fandar.
Ysabelle’s stomach churned with anxiety when she saw what the place had become from all the explosions.
The place was ten times worse than she had expected.
Refugees were everywhere, and no one knew when they would rebel. Even the other forces stared at them warily.
Seeing that, Ysabelle pressed closer to Sophie’s shoulder.
“Stop looking. This place is like that. Cruel things are happening every day in places you don’t know of.” said Sophie.
Ysabelle had always been a sheltered princess.
As she was someone who had never seen the cruel side of the world, she could experience what it meant to live by the law of the jungle there.
Ysabelle shook her head.
“I’m fine. I’m all right,” she said. So, this is how some people on Earth live? I, on the other hand, have been living a pampered life. What more can I ask for?
Soon, the group arrived at their base at Fandar in the off-road vehicle. When Bertram heard about their arrival, he quickly stepped out to welcome them.
