Dairus rubbed his eyes a little bit trying to rub the fuzzyness from them. "We got drunk last night and I collapsed on the ground and passed out laying on him and he was on the floor about to sleep as well, I remember a figure, I think it was a maid?…they pulled me off of him waking me up in the process picking him up and and going down the hallway into a guest bedroom somewhere. I heard some muffled yelling and then I fell asleep again." He groaned at a headache just coming in, making his head throb. "dam hangover…"

Rosa perked up, fear and concern in her eyes. "Do you remember which hallway it was? And maybe which bedroom? We could search the rooms in the hallway for clues. Maybe any sign of struggle. Then we can find Tristian!"

"aw crap, maybe down this hallway take a turn and it's the first door on your right I think." He grumbled pointing in the direction.

Rosa nodded. “Let’s go!” She cried, scurrying off in that direction. She rounded the corner, opening one of the doors and searching the room.

"Please no yelling.." he grumbled going after her.

The room looked fine, besides a messy bed with pillows on the floor. Oh wait the egde of the bed is wet…

Rosa inspected the room once more, still finding nothing more. She bent down to inspect the spot, looking at it closely then sniffing it.

It was a dark red, smelled…like blood.

"Dairus…" Rosa trailed off, staring at the spot. "This is blood. This…. This isn't good…"

"does it smell heavily of alcohol? If it does it's his blood…if not then it's not his. We drank enough to be able to tell." His face paled at the blood. Please don't be tris's…

Rose sniffed it again, careful not to touch her nose to it.

At that moment, Williams walked in, "Is everything alright?"

It didn't smell of alcohol. It wasn't Tristians.

Dairus the pale face looked at Williams. "Tristian was kidnapped…."

Rosa shook her head. "That isn't Tristian's. But it's still blood. Whose, though?" she asked, standing and wiping her hands on her dress. "We have to get him back…"

"okay good it's not his, maybe you could take some of the blood and find a way to see if it can match any of your staff? Maybe quiz your maids?"

"I'll gather all of the staff in the main hall," Williams nodded, "In the meantime, we must inform their highnesses of this matter."

Rosa nodded, tearing the little blood stained cloth away from the rest. "Dairus, you inform their Majesties. I'll go with Williams…" she trailed off, feeling odd about the whole situation. She shook her head. "Okay, let's go."

"Yes," William said, hurrying from the prince's room, "We have no time to waste,"

He put a hand on her shoulder a small comfort for her, before leaving go to write a letter and send it by messagener hawk.

"I regret to inform you that the prince has gone missing, for real this time. We found a blood stained cloth in a guest bedroom. We think he may have been kidnapped.

Dairus

The prince wasn't there and there was no sign he had ever returned there, the window shut.

(If you want I can play the maid,)

((Sure!))

Rosa scurried out, holding the cloth but careful not to touch the stained part. She walked out to where the staff was being gathered, looking over all of their faces sternly.

The maid was standing there, at attention her hair covering one of her eyes. A usual trick that Tristian would pull.

Rosa noticed the maid immidiately, as her hair was covering one of her eyes. She marched up to her. "What happened to Tristian??" she demanded. "You would know. Maids are supposed to wear their hair back. Only the prince gets to wear his hair like that!"

"Aaah sorry!" She quickly pinned it up off her face, her eye covered up by a bandage. "I don't know what happened to prince Tristian, wasn't he with prince Darius?'

Rosa narrowed her eyes. "How did you get that bandage?"

"A-ah Ii fell down and cut myself so I had to bandage it so it wouldn't bleed to much." She held her hands at a position in front.

Williams frowned. He couldn't deny that she was suspicious, but interrogation would make anyone act nervously. "Rosa, don't jump to conclusions just yet," he said, "We still need to question everyone else,"

Rosa scowled. "We will. But I'm starting with her," she sneered. Rosa looked her up and down, then held up the bloody cloth. "Know about this?" she asked smugly.
