Die If I Can't Marry Off My Favorite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 86

“What….”

Our, our precious grandchildren have gone missing? What on earth—

Alexei Zest’s face turned deathly pale as he finally grasped the gravity of the situation. His trembling, wrinkled hands gripped his daughter’s shoulders tightly.

“Explain this to me clearly, Lima. Rioren and Lionel have gone missing?!”

“Wah… They apparently sneaked out to the square with their friends after lunch, saying they wanted to see the festival. Their nanny only realized it much later and immediately sent servants to search for them, but even after five hours, they haven’t found a single trace…”

“What…! How on earth could you let the children out of your sight like this?!”

For a moment, Alexei Zest raged furiously, threatening to dismiss the incompetent nanny on the spot—but he quickly forced himself to calm down. Right now, finding the children mattered far more than punishing those responsible.

“No. Eight children went out together, and six of them are now reported missing.”

Lima Zest, too, was trying hard to regain her composure, repeatedly dabbing her streaming tears with a handkerchief. Alexei Zest rubbed his forehead.

“One child got hurt—the bowstring scraped his arm during an archery game. So the oldest among them took him home, and while they were gone, the rest of the children vanished…”
