At the same night, situation inside Basarisk was completely different. Though the wolves couldn't track Jessie's scent but they successfully smelled the presence of Chitahs nearby which led them to Jessie's existence co-incidently.

Frenchies was in the lead followed by his wolves and guards when they arrived at the medium forest of that mountain. They were shocked and surprised to see Jessie standing at the middle of their way blankheadedly. She looked absentminded and disparted from the whole world.

​​

Frenchies came down from his horse to walk over Jessie who didn't even look at their way. Bowing onto her respectively, Frenchies spoke hearing extremely worried,

" Princess..you are here? We have been searching for you in all the lands of Basarisk. Princess Isabella is becoming restless in your dissapearence. How did you end up here,? Besides we got the clue of Chitahs presence nearby. Have you seen any of them?"

Jessie didn't answer any of his questions. She swallowed down the painful feelings into her stomach and replied unknowingly,

" No!!! I haven't seen any.. Take me to the palace now."

Frenchies didn't expect her absentminded answer. He could see that something was wrong at the way, she communicated with him. Even he was surprised to hear that Jessie didn't feel the presence of Chitahs hereby. As a warrior princess like her, it was impossible to feel nothing of their presence.

Frenchies didn't persuade the matter anymore. Swiping his gaze across her surrounding, he obeyed before saying softly,

" All right, Princess. It's not safe to wander here at this hour. Let's take you back to the palace."

Meantime, Isabella didn't go back to sleep at all. She was still awake, waiting for her angry sister who dissapared again. She was guilty for scolding her but she did for her own good.

Her personal maid, Layla appeared with a smile hanging on her lips,

" Princess, the young Princess has come back. Would you like to meet her?"

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief before nodding compherensively. Supporting her big bump to stand up, she told to her maid impatiently,

" Take me to her. She must be starving. Ask the kitchen to prepare all her favourite foods."

The maid nodded before reaching out to help her and led her outside cautiously.

Downstairs, Jessie had come with Frenchies just after Isabella had reached the hallway. Watching her safe and sound, all of her worries dissapared away as she spoke extending her arms to hug Jessie who appeared absent-minded.

Noticing her sister's embrace, Jessie dodged away, skipped on other side to avoid her hug and mumbled incoherently,

" I am too sleepy and going upstairs. I will talk to you all tomorrow."

She left the hallway without uttering anymore words. Isabella's face sank knowing that she was still angry on her. She knew that Jessie was stubborn and probably would be alright tomorrow but she was hurt when Jessie avoided her hug.

Frenchies consoled explaining shortly,

" Princess Jessie isn't in good mood ever since we have found her. She didn't even feel the presence of Chitahs even though she was so close to them."

Isabella seemed afraid as she asked Frenchies in a concerned voice,

" What do you mean? She was with Chitahs? Who else was there from DAVINA?"

Frenchies shurgged replying further,

" We don't know, Princess. By the time, we had gone there, they were gone probably. Princess Jessie said that she didn't feel anything. So we decided to get back together. Why? Have you seen someone?"

Isabella persued her lips together but didn't say something. Gulping down a little, she responded without uttering anymore words,

" No.. nothing..let me check on her.."

Coming back to Jessie's room, she closed the doorway after entering into her bedroom. Pressing her back against the door, she stayed a while to calculate her thoughts then began to take staggering steps inside the room.

Her head buzzed and thoughts flaunted wildly in distant memories. She could hear her own laughter in her memories. The last time when she laughed so genuinely, she forgot.

Switching her eyes towards the dark corner of her room, she paced on that way unhurriedly. Stopping in front of a canvas, she struggled inside her thoughts and pulled out the curtain from its surface angrily.

A picture of couple smiling at her flashed across her eyes. Her eyes watered at first in pain before turning bloodshot. An urge of killing the person came across her mind when she deeply observed the flawless painting.

Her throat dried in pain. Picking up a knife from her side, she started stabbing the painting and ripped off untill there was few slices of paper left on the canvas.

Her words came out chokingly and soon turned into a mournful cry,

" I will kill you one day...Mark my words..I will kill you..No one can stop me..I will definitely get my revenge. It is just a matter of time.."

Isabella who was going to knock on Jessie's room stopped abruptly after hearing her guffy cries from outside. Her face turned ashen as the worry for her sister grew two times stronger.

Without knocking anymore, she chanted something to open the door and strode inside to discover the mess that Jessie created.

Isabella called out her name softly from back too afraid to get closer,

" Jessie.. What.. what happened to you?"

Jessie was stunned before turning around to face her sister swiftly. Isabella was shocked when she saw her eyes watering. She even forgot the exact time of her when she was in such vulnerable state.

Isabella came forward, grabbed her arms and spoke straightforwardly,

" Jessie..Tell me something honestly..Whom did you meet today?"

Jessie didn't answer to her. She kept staying mute and refused to talk. She didn't know what to say. Isabella kept nagging and asked repeatedly,

" Tell me..who is it? Whom did you meet? Answer me, Jessie.."

Jessie couldn't hold back any longer. She shoved Isabella's arms away before blurting out unknowingly,

" PRINCE SHANZ! "

The moment, her words came out, Isabella lost her temper. Without uttering any word, she slapped on Jessie's face hardly.
