Back in Corona the kingdom was in chaos. Everyone was completely devastated that Rapunzel had just been stolen in broad daylight for the second time. The Queen was in her bedroom sobbing over losing her daughter again. She felt like such a useless mother not being able to protect her child from anything. The King and Eugene were in the war room figuring out a way to get Rapunzel back.
"Eugene, where was Rapunzel last time you found her?" asked the King. He figured Eugene would be the most helpful on this mission since he had failed to find Rapunzel on his own, but Eugene had succeeded.
"In a tower hidden in the forest. It wasn't too long from here actually, but it was very well hidden and you could only enter the tower by climbing Rapunzel's hair…unless you're me then you climb up with arrows."
"Do you think she would have gone back to the tower or build another one?"
"Honestly your Majesty, neither. Gothel mentioned that they were going far away and that no one would find her. I don't think she will go the tower route again. It obviously failed the last time so she'll go for something new and well concealed."
"Do not take this the wrong way Eugene, but you were once a thief," started the King.
"I thought we were all over that!"
"Yes, yes we are, but when you stole Rapunzel's crown where were you taking it?"
"Somewhere far, where no one would find it….Oh I see, Rapunzel is Gothel's crown."
Eugene thought about when he was running away from the castle guards with the crown. He was running deeper and deeper into the forest thinking no one could find him the deeper he went. AHA!
"I've got it! When I was running away with the crown all I could think of was running deeper into the forest so no one could find me. Well I stumbled across a tower with a missing princess in it! I bet you Gothel took Rapunzel even deeper into the forest, but where are they staying? Obviously a tower is out so they must be in the opposite…what's the opposite of a tower?"
"Not in the sky, but underground…" finished the King.
"That makes perfect sense! Knowing Gothel she made them a little home underground deep in the forest."
"Great! Eugene will lead us to Gothel's old tower and we will go twice as deep into the forest from there. Guards! Suit up! We're going to find the princess!" shouted the King. He was determined to find his daughter this time. Failure was not an option.
