When the man returns with a bag full of the heart and liver of a wild boar he declares them to be Pansy's and that she was dead. He whole heartedly believed this too because no girl could survive the Forbidden Forest in nothing but a nightgown. The queen took the bag to the house elves in the kitchen declaring that she had a craving for viscera. As the sun rose she cut the heart and liver, eating as she imagined the beauty of her now deceased daughter, her smile tinted red.
When news got out that Pansy was missing Annabel was radiant in her grief as Richard headed off every search party for his beloved daughter. The entire wizarding world searched but Pansy was gone. Annabel spent her days in her room. Several of the elves claimed to have heard her talking to thin air. Most believed she was mad with grief. The more Richard was away the more she took over running the manor. She took to wearing her mirror tied around her waist. The elves did not like her running the matter but could not put their finger on why she was unpleasant.
