Chapter 93

**Tzalmon Point of View**

That moment -

The moment I heard her name; that very moment, I felt like I was drenched in water after roaming aimlessly in a desert.

For a moment there, my heart stopped beating with anticipation and anxiety. Without even a fraction of a second delay, I turned back to reach the voice that called out her name.

A female voice it was, a little dominating and powerful and sounded a little far.

Who was it?

That female, she must be referring to the Acacia I know. She must be talking about my Acacia. She must be...

I ran towards the direction the voice came from. On the way, my eyes are constantly looking everywhere, scanning to find the source of the female voice.

In less than ten seconds, I reached the door that leads to women's bathroom which I cannot enter. Of many ladies going in and out of the place, I stopped one that was nearer and pinned down with a stare.

"My lady, I apologize for my behavior. I heard the name Acacia just now, was it you who called out the name?" I asked in complete urgency.

"No, Mr. Ebernus. I don't know anyone with that name." She said and walked away.

Not her. It's not her voice I heard before. The voice I heard before did not sound too gentle like this one.

I asked around a few more ladies and only ended up with a disappointing result. Before I continue to inquire any more ladies, Captain and Lieutenant stopped me from going any further and took me away to a corner where there are no prying ears.

"Mr. Ebernus, if you keep stalking around ladies bathroom, you will end up in prison." The Captain warned me, however, I could still detect good intentions in the warning.

He was looking after me which I do appreciate but Acacia -

"I heard her name, Captain an-"

"And there are thousands in this world who has the same name as you wife." The Captain cut me off and said.

"But I have a feeling it was her. My guts are telling me that the lady was referring to my Acacia." I exclaimed.

Running a hand through my neatly combed hair, I couldn't help but punch the wall beside me in frustration.

"And how do you know? Let's say you really heard your wife's name but stalking in front of ladies washroom will only get you into trouble. Mr. Ebernus, I know you want to find your wife as soon as possible. I know you love her -" He paused, looking at me with a knowing glint in his eyes. "-but being reckless will only harm in return."

I know, I understand what the captain said was right but when I heard her name, something went off inside me. It was a kind of relief yet urgency that pushed me towards her unconsciously.

I have to find her no matter what.

"If you feel that the name you heard was your wife's then it is a good news, Mr. Ebernus." Lieutenant commented as he looked at me seriously. "We are at least sure that she is in this city. If she is in this same city then finding her wouldn't take long. You just have to be strategic in your searching."

"I understand, Lieutenant. I know what you mean. It's just that when I heard her name, I - I- " I waved my hands in air not knowing how to put my emotions in right words.

It was a mix of many things; hope, relief, anxiety and many more emotions staged a play inside me.

Captain and Lieutenant looked at me intently, not missing any minute changed on my face. I was born and raised a King of an immortal realm so it came with my position and power to keep my emotions in check and mask them well.

Although I let the mask off for a moment here, I was still able to conceal most of my feeling inside me but when the two officers showed me pity and knowing glances, I knew I slipped my mask way too much.

"You lost your cool. Your hope raised at the same time you also felt helpless; we understand. Let's do this, since this your party, it would be bad for you and your business make any inappropriate actions. You pass on your wife's picture to me and I will use my personal connections to look for her. If were to use law enforcers then it might not be good for your wife." I listened to the Captain and nodded as I composed myself again.

"I don't have her picture with me. She took them all with her leaving me with none but I do have her lifelike painting with me. I will ping it to you." I lied to the officers about the pictures.

Getting a painting is easy. Her face, her body, every single feature of hers is still embedded in my mind like it was just a minute ago she ran away from me. With the messaging application called 'Whatsapp' which I learnt to use recently, it was pretty easy to send over messages or pictures to the other person.

"By tonight or latest by tomorrow, I will send you the picture of her painting. I have to express my gratitude towards the help you both are providing me with." With an assuring nod from both the officers, we went back to the ballroom where party is still at its high.

The moment I was back in the ballroom, I exchanged meaningful glances with Gyles and Azar and they understood what I meant while there is no address of Eelk.

Seems like he is still gawking at the burgundy hair lady from some corner!

A few minutes lady Azar came to me and said something that baffled me. "Majesty, you might be right."

"What do you mean?"

"From the time the party started, I felt the presence of Her Majesty was little stronger." My eyes widened a little as I realized that I was indeed right.

My instincts were indeed right.

"She was here?"

"Not really. But someone who was frequently in contact with her. The aura was mixed and not as stronger as it would get when she was here in person." Azar whispered as he looked around in contemplation.

"I knew it. I knew it the moment I heard her name. If someone related to her was here, then it means she running in the high business circle of the city." She must be working in one of the companies that came to the party.

Knowing how independent she has always been, She would not depend on anyone to look after her and my son.

"Azar, make a list of people who visited the party along with their company name. I want it by the end of the party." I ordered after thinking for a moment.

Lieutenant was right. I need to search for her strategically. Since I cannot bring out her painting and personally look for her with fear that it would give her hints, I can give the painting to the officers while I look into the companies that came today.

Now that the objective for this party has served its purpose, I will now have to start with the next phase of the plan.

The rest of party, I made certain to thoroughly get acquainted with all the guests. This is also mainly to make my search easier in the later phase.

Eblilis was connected to one of the people here, to one of the woman who came here so it is important for me to make close association with them.

By the time lunch started, I walked to center of the ballroom to make an announcement.

"Hello everyone, Thunders is not just a workout place it also provides everyone with fighting classes. Simple self defense to martial arts, there are some highly qualified teachers here to serve the purpose. Equipped with some advanced machines, Thunders' Gym is open for all who gets registered with membership. Thunders' Academy is for people of all the ages who wants to learn be it self defense or art of fighting. The admission for the academy will start from next week till the end of the month. You can get registered yourself or for your children. Thank you for your time, please proceed with the lunch. Hope you like the food here; all the cuisines are specialties from my hometown. Enjoy."

After the small speech, the lunch proceeded without a hitch and the party came to an end by sunset. Everything after lunch went on smoothly as many approached Azar and Eelk for membership cards for Thunders' Gym.

By the time I got home after the party, Azar was already ready with the list I asked for. Eelk, who was missing for most of the party was now sitting in the living room with a square object that people here call 'laptop'.

"Where were you the whole day? I only saw you for a couple of hours in the morning and later you went missing." Gyles questioned Eelk to which Eelk grinned proudly.

"I got two good news to share."

"And they are?"

"One, I am now able to operate the laptop without any trouble now and two -" He stopped putting us in suspense.

I raised a brow in question to which he smiled at me and revealed the second good news he got.

"I might have a crucial clue about Lady Dawn."

And that caught my attention by a storm!
