"Still nothing?"

This was the fifth time the guards had came back empty handed. Will groaned, finally having enough. Nico promised to be home by sunset. It's been nearly an entire week or more and Nico's whereabouts are still unknown. It was stressing Will out and he couldn't stand the helpless feeling of staying in the castle and waiting for a miracle.

"Okay.." he mumbled, turning and throwing his closet door open. "Let's keep looking."

"Let's?" One guard asked, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm coming with you," Will shut the door of the closet so he could dress in some kind of privacy. It was a fairly big closet, maybe almost half the size of his whole bedroom, and he could easily move around in it.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Will?"

"My fiance's missing. This isn't some small "he-went-out-and-hasn't-decided-to-come-back-yet" case. He's missing and possibly in danger," Will walked out, looking nothing like the prince he was raised to be. His clothing was now dull and loose on him, the pants having a few rips in it. If he rolled around in some dirt, he'd look exactly like a travel from out of town. "I'd rather die looking for him than stay here, alive and well, while he may not be." Will then walked past his guards, chucking softly to himself. Nico would vomit if he knew Will said something so cheesy.

The guards stared at him, almost in shock. He was still obviously the prince, everyone would be able to tell, but he's never went out of his way to try and blind in before. They shrugged to themselves, deciding to follow. Will paid the guards no mind as he left the castle. Once he was actually in Town Square, people began to notice him. Before long, his guards were the only thing keeping him from being trampled by millions of people wanting the "honor" of having his attention.

Granted, he did smile and wave to a few people. He even ruffled a little boy's hair, making the little guy's brown eyes light up.

Brown eyes. Like Nico.

Will sighed, shaking his head and beginning to push through the crowd more. He had to find him. He had to.
