Maggie made it through dinner service that evening, but she left the cleaning up to Joshua and Elise. She asked them to start prep for the next day without her, and they both agreed readily, even as they gave her worried looks.

Maggie tossed and turned that night. When she slept, it was fitful and filled with strange dreams. Crawling out of bed the next morning, she felt terrible.

She started to make coffee and then remembered. Sighing, she switched to a cup of herbal tea, then made a mental note that she needed to schedule a doctor’s appointment.

Maggie had emailed Luis the night before, hoping the royal chef could help her out. She didn’t tell him everything, just that she was trying to reach Raffaele. He wrote back quickly; his response was sympathetic, but he didn’t know where the Prince had gone. The rumor was that Raffaele had started his military service, though his parents weren’t at the palace, so Luis didn’t know for certain.

Sitting down at her small kitchen table, Maggie did another look through the news, checking again to see if Spiaggi was mentioned. She finally pulled up the contact information to Spiaggi’s embassy, and called the main number.

When they brushed her off, she dug a little deeper and found a number for one of the royal family’s aides. Maggie then tried the media contact listed on an older statement from the royal family.

Nothing. Either they told her they didn’t have the ability to connect her call to the palace, or that they weren’t able to tell her anything about Prince Raffaele’s whereabouts. Maggie asked to be connected to his mother, but was told she wasn’t taking calls.

Maggie crossed her fingers. One more time, she thought. It’s been two days, and he should be settled into wherever he is. Whoever I talk to will be able to give me more information.

The phone rang twice and when a voice on the other end answered, the words tumbled out of Maggie’s mouth.

“Hi. My name is Maggie Bechet and I’m trying to reach Prince Raffaele. His phone has been disconnected and I know I probably can’t talk to him right now, but I need to get a message to him.”

“My apologies, miss, but I’m not able to connect you directly to His Highness.”

“No, I know. And I know he’s not at the palace right now. He’s, well, I don’t know where he is, but I know he’s…”

Maggie had a thought. If it was such a big deal that no one know where Raffaele was stationed, maybe the person she was talking to didn’t even know he was deployed. She didn’t want to make things more dangerous for him by spreading the word if it wasn’t common knowledge.

“I know he’s not at home right now. Can I get a message to him?”

The voice sounded even more disinterested. “I’m sorry, I’m not able to pass a message to His Highness.”

Maggie thought quickly. “He has a secretary. Albert. Can I speak to him?”

“I’m sorry, the Prince’s secretary is on vacation right now.
