"Do you think there is a chance that this isn't a coincidence and that she is hiding?"
Henry didn't want to say "run away" because he was worried that might be the case. If she was hiding, at least they could find her, like last time. If she was gone, that was a completely different situation, and by the sound of it, she had been gone for a while.
Edna thought about the question. She couldn't outright deny it, but she had a feeling this wasn't the case. She slowly shook her head. "I don't think so," she replied.
"Are you sure?" Mister Henry asked. He stopped walking and turned around so their eyes met. "It wouldn't be the first time."
"I don't know," she admitted, bending her head forward.
Mister Henry sighed and mopped his forehead. He could feel years deducting from his lifespan. The crown prince wouldn't like any of this one bit. He continued on the walk and soon came upon his niece's room.
