Chapter 456 Have You Found Cassian Yet?

The moment Raven heard the urgency in Saxon's voice, her expression darkened. "Missing? Since when? Just an hour ago, I had snacks with him-he said he was tired and wanted to nap, so I asked someone to set up a room for him. But when I went to check on him, he was gone. You have so many men under your command, and you still managed to lose a child?"

Her sharp words hit Saxon square in the ego, but he couldn't exactly tell her that Benedict wasn't your average child.

That little devil's mind was a mystery even he and Hiemaly combined couldn't unravel.

So in the end, all he could do was swallow his pride and mutter, "I've already punished the guards on duty. What matters now is finding him, fast. Can you think of anywhere he might go?"

Raven frowned slightly. She didn't know Benedict well enough to guess where he might've run off to.

But something felt off-there was something in Saxon's tone, not just urgency, but a deeper kind of worry, the kind you don't have for some random kid.

And now that she thought about it, Benedict had been unusually attached to her when they first met, clinging to her like a shadow.
