Artemis narrowed his gaze at his second son. This child of his was honest to a fault. He never lied to him and even now, he was certain that he was telling the truth. But, just then, there was something, a very important something,, that Arjuna was keeping from him. “Arjuna, how will you find her?”
The young tom opened his mouth to reply, but couldn’t find a way to answer his father that wouldn’t enrage him. He said nothing.
“Arjuna, I asked you a question.” Artemis said, anger simmering his words. “HOW will you find her?”
Arjuna sighed…almost painfully. “I…I know where she works.”
A vibrant shade of scarlet colored Artemis’ vision. “She…is working?” he asked with lethal calm. “The Third Princess of Kitwa is plying her hand at a trade and working? Do you have any idea what her father will do when he realizes that his youngest daughter is working amongst the common people of this country?!”
“Father…”
“DUMON!” Artemis shouted. In an instant, a security person dressed in dark attire appeared before him.
“Majesty?” Dumon asked, bowing slightly.
“The Princess Amarah has been seen here on Calico. Find her.”
"FATHER, YOU CAN'T!" Arjuna pleaded.
"I...what?!" the emperor hissed.
He had never seen his father so incensed, least of all at him. It was unsettling and bewildering and the Second Prince knew not what to do. He needed to defend his bride's choice, but could not see a way to that end.
"...Father..." he began, quietly, "please do not do this." he begged.
Whether he heard his son's desperate plea or not was anyone's guess, as Artemis simply looked at his security chief and barked, "Go!"
“At once, Your Majesty.” the cat replied, turning about to hurriedly take his leave.
“Belay that order!” a voice commanded, stopping the man mid flight.
(Sorry this one is a little long, but I might not be able to post tomorrow, so I wanted to leave you with, what I hope was a cliffhanger. To all who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! ^_^)
