Chapter 582: Breaking The Agreement

Yarin’s POV:

“You have to stay in the tent today, my dear,” our mom reminded

Heller. “You’re exhausted. I don’t think I can support you to go out and play crazily.”

Heller lowered his head as he started to observe the tent’s entrance once a few seconds.

I didn’t stay but left with my parents. They saw I had something to ask, so they asked me what was wrong.

“Has Lily come back?” I didn’t see her in the tent. Kara returned with us, and I didn’t see anyone with her.

“Not yet. Why?”

I immediately told them that Lily had also gone hunting down the suspicious man, but I didn’t see Lily after he was arrested. She didn’t show up after the whole parade ended.

“I’m worried that she’s in danger. I didn’t see which path she went into. Maybe she met another criminal. Now that the criminal has been caught, I must ask him about Lily’s whereabouts.”

Lily’s disappearance made everyone in the tent nervous. My mother immediately ordered the interrogation of the criminal and sent several security teams to search for Lily.

The safety of the Moonlight Festival was also a question mark due to Lily’s disappearance. The backup guards were dispatched, and more police officers patrolled the streets to ensure the safety of the tourists.

When Francis heard that his granddaughter was missing, he immediately sent out the Silver Moon family’s private forces to search for Lily. The old man, who was almost seventy years old, frowned. He was anxious about his granddaughter’s safety.

I didn’t dare to face him because I promised him I would take good care of Lily in the morning, but before the day ended, I had failed him.

I hesitated before whispering, “I’m sorry, Mr. Quinn. I couldn’t protect Lily.”

Francis was in a daze. He was slightly shocked by my words. After hearing my apology, he only smiled bitterly and patted my shoulder. “This is not your fault, Your Highness. You are just a child, so it is not your fault. Be it the attack or Lily’s disappearance, it’s all because of us adults’ incompetence and inability to fulfill our responsibilities.”

He sighed faintly and said, “This is the Silver Moon Pack. No criminal can escape the eyes of His Majesty and the Silver Moon family. Lily will be fine. Please don’t worry. Maybe she just saw an interesting performance and was delayed for a while?”

I couldn’t comfort Francis, but he comforted me instead, which made me feel a little defeated.

There seemed to be nothing I could do to help in this tent. My parents were calmly coordinating everything. The Silver Moon Pack was doing its best to find Lily. Even Heller was overworking himself to protect the people.

I was the only one who enjoyed the comfort and protection of others and could only worry, but worrying was useless.

I didn’t want this to happen. I couldn’t enjoy the Moonlight Festival with a clear conscience. I desperately wanted to do something, even if it was a little help. For Lily, for my oath.

I looked at my mother. She was giving instructions to the captain of the guards. She was very busy, and I couldn’t add to her troubles. As my mother’s assistant, my father was also busy.

I couldn’t get over Francis. He loved his granddaughter very much but had to take responsibility for the family. He wouldn’t agree to let me take the risk for her.

The only person I could talk to was Aunt Teresa. However, her brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were red. She seemed worried about her daughter’s disappearance, but she also seemed to think this was another rebellion by Lily. She was on the verge of exploding.

Her son, Lily’s older brother, Alfred, was talking to her. He looked anxious and kept looking outside the tent as if he was arguing with Aunty Teresa.

However, Aunt Teresa only shook her head as she appraised him. No matter what her son said, she would not agree.

Realizing that he could not change his mother’s attitude, Alfred had no choice but to stop temporarily.

At this moment, I walked over. Aunt Teresa immediately smiled when she saw me, although her tears were still pooling in her eyes, and her eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.

I tried to comfort her, but she laughed it off and paid more attention to me than Lily. “Please do not worry, Your Highness. Lily does this now and then. I am very good at dealing with it.”

“It’s not like she ran away from home this time.” I didn’t like her attitude toward Lily. “You know what happened just now. Lily might be in danger.”

However, Aunt Teresa seemed determined to think this was Lily’s antics. Even Alfred could not stand it anymore. “You’re always prejudiced against Lily, Mother. That’s why she’s unwilling to communicate with you.”

Aunt Teresa suddenly flew into a rage because of this. She scolded and complained to her son in a low voice. Alfred could only endure it helplessly except for occasionally interrupting.

It was obvious Aunt Teresa usually had a tough attitude toward her children. Both Lily and Alfred were already used to it.

I looked at the mother and son, especially Alfred. It seemed that he was not a bad brother.. If we are all worried about Lily, maybe we could cooperate?
