For a brief moment, the governor's mind refused to accept what he had just heard, but his military training took over, and he began to act.
To search for the missing princess, Draco Mellis mobilized the army, the guard, and the air forces of Margel. Military hounds were sent in all directions from the villa, following the scent of the missing princess, airships equipped with powerful searchlights were deployed in the surrounding area, and cavalry and infantry soldiers patrolled the city and its surroundings.
In the end, Naera and her kidnapper were found in the western forest, where Captain of the Guard Victor Loss had once been defeated. The princess was rescued, and the criminal was arrested.
- So... How's it going?

- We were too late 😔 When we arrived, the villa was destroyed, the servants were beaten, and the attacker had left... And he... He kidnapped Princess Naera, - Gion's voice trembled. If he understood the bandit's words correctly... He had a very good idea of what they might do to the princess.
Gathering himself, he continued:
- The guys are now looking for a tracker who can find this bastard. And Kiliku... I came here thinking she had returned...

Garrett finds Kilika in the Moon Park, accompanied by a familiar face, Lee Joon.
- Well... Times have changed... Something like this would never have happened under Her Highness Naria...

In the end, Naera and her kidnapper were found in the western forest, where Captain of the Guard Victor Loss was once defeated. The princess was freed, and the criminal was arrested.
The girl managed to offer Carnel assistance in the capture, but one governor knew, he finally agreed, or he was too busy with the enthusiasm, one thing was clear: the redhead wouldn't be able to add "saving the princess" to her knightly to-do list. And also... She had to pray that, due to the commotion, the information wouldn't become public knowledge, tarnishing the honor of Milady. This was perhaps the most serious downside of the governor's approach.
In one way or another, the Nosentrot waits/learns about/sees with her own eyes that the princess is saved, and again, if possible (because I don't understand the details of where everyone was all this time), she thanks the governor for his promptness.
Deciding to skip the formalities, Garret openly approaches the couple and addresses Kilik.
— There you are! Listen, drop everything and follow me, Erephir is calling, it's urgent. We have a real mess going on there, and we need your presence. Details on the spot.
He shifts his gaze to Lee Joon and back.
— Sorry for interrupting, but there's no time for pleasantries – duty calls.
- It's okay, I understand. We'll see each other another time.
- Yeah, bye.

Well, of course, when you have the entire Marghelian army at your disposal, it's much easier. Erefir didn't expect that Mellis would have so many free hands, but it was... Indeed, convenient. Simple. Very simple. What just happened, and why did all these episodes flash by like harpies past Eclipse? Seriously?

- Her Highness... She was kidnapped?!
For a brief moment, the governor's mind refused to accept what he had just heard, but his military training took over, and he began to act.
To search for the missing Princess Drako Mellis, he mobilized the army, the guard, and the air forces of Margel. Military hounds were sent in all directions from the villa to track the missing princess, airships equipped with powerful searchlights were deployed in the surrounding area, and cavalry and infantry soldiers patrolled the city and its surroundings.
Eventually, Naera and her kidnapper were found in the western forest, near the place where Captain of the Guard Victor Loss was once defeated. The princess was rescued, and the criminal was arrested.
On the other hand, none of them expected such a reaction from Mr. Mellis. Alaria, in particular, expected the opposite. However, the man clearly believed that such a blow to his reputation was insignificant compared to the loss of one of the princesses. He decided that there was no room for risk here. And he was easy to understand. Perhaps one could ask, "Couldn't they have handled it quietly, on their own?" Maybe they could have. But it could also have turned out that there would be one Carneol and one Naera less in the empire. The scoundrel certainly wouldn't have taken them alive. But there was no point in guessing "What if?" without having all the information. What's done is done. Naera was safe, and that was perhaps the most important thing.

But be that as it may, the deed was done, and the next day arrived.
- And I told you he was a capable fellow.
- He stirred up the whole town of Margel, Guiosh...
- The main thing is that the princess is alright.
- That's true, but... I don't know.
- Well, there's been a lot of commotion, I agree, but it's better this way than if Naera... - Guiyon flinched. - That would have been a terrible thing.
- If you look at it from that perspective... Yes.

Ruined a girl's date 💔
Garrett leads Kilika, who was out partying too long, to the agreed-upon meeting place at the villa, where she can see the consequences of the invasion with her own eyes and face the leader who has been waiting for her.
— This is how it is, another mess and showdown... You can't relax with all our illustrious patrons. — he mutters to himself.
A living squad wouldn't have been able to defeat them.
After all, Mellis acted similarly to Phyr. Faced with a situation, he immediately activated connections in all possible directions, just as she had sent the Carneolians to different parts of Margel. The difference was in the scale, but it was good that she had turned to him. Although, for the next incident, which was bound to happen, they should both be better prepared. In any case, Draco deserved gratitude.
On the way back, after the search:
-- Alaria, I didn't have time to praise you for finding the hunter. I think this contact will be useful, you did a good job, and I'll try to recruit him. Or even... Since this was your area of work, you can check your high charisma again if you want, and I agree with my assessment that we need to be prepared for such operations.
-- In general, of course... Times are changing, and we should think about reorganizing our area of interest. Let's say... I won't tell them directly, but the fact that there wasn't even one spellcaster among the villa's defenders made me a little uneasy. I understand that it's a rare thing, but... I think there are opportunities, considering the number of mages in the villa.
-- In short, yes, personnel are key. But you guys did a great job, you dispersed quickly, like soldiers ) And you completed the task.
