After hanging up, Zach immediately turned to Sally. "Your Majesty, I've found my master."
"You've found her?" Sally's voice was a mix of shock and elation. "Are you serious?"
In that instant, a light returned to her eyes. It was as if she had been given a new lease on life. If Dr. Oracle was found, Hollis could be saved.
"Yes, it's true," Zach confirmed.
"Thank God, thank God!" No one could understand Sally's overwhelming relief. She pressed on, "Where is Dr. Oracle now? I'll go with you to get her!"
She had to go herself. She couldn't risk anything else going wrong. If she didn't go, what if there was another mishap?
At her words, Zach's expression soured. "My master… has been locked up in the Royal Police Department."
"What?" Sally thought she was hearing things. Who in their right mind would have the audacity to imprison Dr. Oracle? This needed to be investigated immediately.
"Yes, you heard me correctly. She's been detained. Your Majesty, I have to get to the police department at once!"
"Yes, yes, of course! I'm coming with you!"
Sally fell into step behind Zach. A procession of vehicles quickly departed from Witting Castle, speeding toward the Royal Police Department.
The department was some distance from the castle, an hour's drive by car. Sally sat in the back, her anxiety mounting with every passing second. She wished she could teleport there instantly, repeatedly urging the driver.
"Faster!"
"Go faster!"
The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned around. "Your Majesty, this is already the fastest we can possibly go."
Sally pressed her temples. It was the top speed, yet it still felt agonizingly slow.
Meanwhile, at the Vance family estate, Dowager Vance was anxiously awaiting news from her daughter, Rosemary.
Finally, she heard footsteps approaching.
