Chapter 58 Martin is missing

Safi will not be able to take time off to visit Felisa in the following time.

On the very night she left Phylissa's, Fred came.

"Your Highness?" Safi was surprised, but seeing the haste in Fred's expression, he realized that something urgent should have happened, and immediately brought Fred to the living room, asking, "What happened?" Let His Highness come to see me so late?"

Although Fred looked urgent, he was still calm in dealing with things, and he didn't seem to lose his sense of propriety in the slightest.

"Martin is gone," Fred said indifferently. "When he was found, he had already disappeared. The members of the guild are still chasing him. He may be in danger at any time."

Safi's expression changed suddenly: "What's going on?"

Martin was just a child. Even though he didn't believe Fred's promise to provide him with a shelter, he didn't have the ability to resist the pursuit of the guild. The address Fred had mentioned.

Of course, Fred didn’t mean to let it go, he did prepare a warm room for Martin, enough food to eat, and a teacher who was willing to provide him with education. Compared with Martin’s precarious life before, it can be regarded as heaven .

Fred couldn't think of the reason why he ran away overnight, but he had already run away now, so he had to find him first and then question him carefully.

There is no way to use the privileges of the royal family in this matter, and people will go out to find them with great fanfare, because these are just Fred's private plans and have not been made public, so he can only find people by himself.

Not many people have met Martin, only Safi, Nancy, and Felisa have had close contact with Martin, but Felisa is recovering from her injuries, and Nancy has asked Ulysses to go over to notify up.

From Safi to Martin is not just a child. He is a link in Fred's plan, and it is the link at the beginning. Without the beginning, there will be no follow-up, so Martin is very important.

Originally, Safi planned to rest, but Fred's arrival made her change her mind: "Your Highness, I will pack up now and go out to find someone."

Fred stopped Safi, feeling quite a headache: "It's already so late, you should rest, I just came to tell you, you can come back tomorrow to help."

Safi said without questioning, "It's better to find someone earlier. After all, Martin is a child, where can he hide?"

Since she insisted, Fred couldn't stop him anymore, he just said: "Then you will act with me."

Safi glanced at Fred. Although he felt that it would be more efficient to find someone separately, he also knew that this was the biggest concession Fred could make, so he nodded without refuting.

Lane 35 of Bronze Avenue was the shelter that Fred had prepared for Martin. The two did not take a carriage, and directly chose to ride a faster horse.

When dismounting, the female teacher arranged by Fred to take care of the children here greeted her with panic and self-blame on her face: "Your Highness, you are here."

"Mother Anna," Fred called her, "has the baby been found?"

Anna is a woman who looks a little rich, but she looks very amiable, which is why Fred chose her after consideration. He hopes to try his best to gain the trust of these street children.

Anna shook her head guiltily: "Your Highness, I have failed your trust."

Safi didn't bother to listen to these nonsense, and asked directly: "When was the last time Martin appeared?"

Anna said, "Before dinner."

"Did he not eat dinner?"

"No."

"Why? Is he unwell?"

Anna was a little overwhelmed by Safi's endless questions, and couldn't help but look up at Fred secretly.

Seeing that Fred didn't respond to Safi's leading questioning at all, he didn't seem to care that Safi took the initiative. Seeing Anna looking over, he raised his eyebrows: "Safi is my fiancée, what's the matter with you?" Just answer truthfully."

Anna lowered her head embarrassingly: "It's Martin who doesn't want to eat."

"The reason?"

Anna couldn't answer, and Safi knew that there must be something wrong here after looking at her, so she turned to Fred: "Your Highness, are there any other staff here?"

"Yes." Fred immediately took Safi away, Anna chased after a few steps, and finally stopped in fear.

Anna was responsible for taking care of Martin's daily life, and Fred also arranged for someone to teach the children to study and teach them some practical skills. They couldn't rely on Fred for the rest of their lives.

"Ah, I seem to have heard Anna throwing a tantrum in the afternoon. It seems that some of Anna's cooking is missing, and she suspects that Martin stole it."

Safi instinctively felt that this should be the reason why Martin ran away from home. After all... She is also very sensitive to the word "steal". Every time she hears "steal" or a word with the same pronunciation as "steal", she will tense up and feel uneasy.

Sure enough, Anna admitted: "It's...it's my fault. I'm not in a good mood today. I was very upset that Martin stole the food, so I reprimanded him, but..." Anna anxiously defended herself with a pale face. Justification: "I didn't expect this child to run away from home."

But Safi didn't believe that Martin would leave just because of a few reprimands from Anna. For a boy who grew up in a slum, such a few words were innocuous.

"What else did you say?" Safi asked.

Under Safi's repeated questioning, Anna hesitated and said: "I said he is...he is a child of the demon clan."

Safi's hands clasped in front of her were clenched instantly, and her nails sank deeply into the flesh. This sentence was also a fatal pain to her.

Fred took a step forward calmly, blocking Safi, preventing others from discovering that Safi was in an unusual mood.

"I didn't hire you to let you hurt the child." Fred looked at Anna with a cold tone, "I don't think you know what it takes to take good care of a child. In this case, the contract we negotiated There's no need to go any further."

Anna didn't expect that her hard-won job would be lost so easily, or because of a thief who everyone called out to beat her up. She was naturally unconvinced and wanted to argue for herself again.

"Isn't it the first time you said something like this today? How many times have you said similar things to Martin these days?" But Fred blocked Anna back with only one sentence, let alone... "I don't think I will I need to explain to you the reasons for my decision."

All the gentleness and elegance in him have faded away, leaving only a one-sided strength, which makes people instinctively fear.

Anna's face turned pale, Fred's approachability made her forget that the person in front of her was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his decision did not need to be explained to a commoner like her.

Seeing Anna calm down, Fred whispered to Safi: "Let's go to Martin's room and take a look."

Safi nodded, her mood calmed down a bit, and she was able to think calmly.
