Aisha: "Wait, the princess is missing?! Are you sure she came to this ship?!"
Deirdre: "She said she was going to rescue Todd, and she only left today. This ship is her only destination! She must be here!"
Ivy glanced at Rachel casually, then walked over to Aisha and said, "Do you have a roster of the entire ship's crew?"
Aisha: "That's right."
Evie: "Have everyone gather on the deck and take a headcount."
Aisha lowered her head and thought for a moment, then gave the order for everyone to assemble on the deck.
In the blink of an eye, the deck was filled with people.
Deirdre personally went up to each of them and carefully examined their appearance.
Aisha also instructed the crew to check the personnel against the roster one by one.
After all the commotion, they still couldn't find any trace of Aurora.
Seeing Deirdre's tearful face, Ivy said to the royal guards and the other Valkyries, "You, check every cabin, don't miss a single place."
As they walked off the ship, Ivy and Aisha exchanged a glance.
Both of them turned their attention back to Rachel.
Evie walked up to Rachel and said, "Tell me you have nothing to do with this."
Rachel smiled wryly. "Would you believe me if I said I haven't seen Aurora at all recently?"
Evie: "Everything you've done is suspicious. My gut feeling tells me that Aurora's disappearance is definitely related to you."
Rachel's voice gradually turned cold: "If there's anyone in this world I would never hurt... Todd is the first, and Aurora is the second. Do you think I would put her in danger?"
Just as the two were talking, the personnel responsible for inspecting the cabins also came out one after another.
The result, while expected, was still frustrating.
No trace of Aurora was found anywhere on the ship.
Deirdre, gradually sinking into despair, suddenly rushed in front of Rachel and grabbed her collar: "I know it's you, it must be you! Give me back my daughter!"
Rachel looked at Deirdre expressionlessly, neither refuting nor struggling, as if she had long anticipated this scene.
Ivy walked over to the two of them and pulled Deirdre aside: "All areas around Muxi City are heavily guarded. It's impossible for Her Highness to run away quietly."
Evie's words gradually calmed Deirdre down. She released Rachel and tried to convince herself, "Yes, Aurora is just a child. She can't leave here..."
Rachel, who had been silent all along, suddenly said to Deirdre, "Perhaps you should come south with us."
Evie looked at Rachel with surprise.
Rachel continued, "Aurora couldn't possibly leave Twilight City alone. She's just hiding somewhere in the city and refusing to go home."
Deirdre breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, perhaps."
Rachel: "But Todd's soul space hasn't been opened for many days. Something must have happened to him."
Deirdre looked up at Rachel.
Rachel continued, "The most crucial thing right now is to find Todd. Once we find him, the Soul Space can be restarted, and Aurora's whereabouts will naturally emerge."
Deirdre trembled slightly, but remained silent.
Rachel extended her right hand to Deirdre: "With me, we can find and help Todd, just like we used to."
Deirdre opened her eyes wide, struggling internally, and slowly reached out to touch Rachel.
However, she eventually gave up.
"My daughter is in this city, and my home is in this city..."
Deirdre's words caused Rachel's gaze to slowly turn cold.
Rachel said slowly to Deirdre, "Then please move aside and don't block my way. A king and someone I love are waiting for me in the south..."
Half an hour later, the warship left the port of Waiheke Island and headed south again.
Rachel stood on the deck, watching the land recede into the distance, and murmured to herself, "This city... traps too many people."
