"What do you mean they attacked?!" Alex yelled in anger, scaring the others.
"Apparently, Lord Hardios decided to lead a hunting group across the border and to the house. We don't know how he got the information we were here," Carlos said, remaining calm. He knew that Alex could get angry when people he cared about get hurt. The brown-haired boy took a deep breath and started to think.
"Ok, who was all hurt?" Alex asked, silently hoping the answer was no one. The boys behind him were still confused but were also hoping their lovers weren't hurt. Carlos didn't answer. All he did was hang his head in shame, and Alex saw this, "Carlos. Answer. Me. Now. Who. Was. All. Hurt?" He asked again in a stern voice. The butler took a deep breath before answering.
"I'm sorry, Master Alex. Ira is the only one I know who I know was for sure hurt. She told the others to scatter throughout the house. They all followed, but that's about what I know. I had to fight one of them off after I sent you that message." Alex's eyes widen in shock and anger. Then, he punched a nearby wall, leaving a decent size dent. All the boys were now angry. However, Alex and Carlos were the only ones who still knew what was happening.
"Alex, could you two please explain to the rest of us what is going on?" Daichi asked. Alex took another deep breath before turning to the group.
"I promise to explain everything in a minute, but first we got to round up your lovers," Alex said before turning his attention back to Carlos, "Where are the maids?"
"Scattered as well. One of the maids saw something out by the border and took the others to investigate. However, that was thirty minutes before the attack." Then, Carlos's phone goes off, and he takes it out to look at it, "That was one of the maids. They found nothing after searching and are on their way back. I presume that this was a coordinated attack."
"Your guess is as good as mine right now." Then, within the span of a couple of minutes, the maids appeared out of nowhere, scaring the others.
"Ok, I'd like to know what is going on here," the blueberry said.
"For once, I agree with the king," the salty beanpole said.
"And I told you not to call me that."
"Tsukkishima, Kageyama, I promise everything will be explained, but first, your lovers are our top priority," Alex said. Then, he pointed at the maids that just showed up, "Each maid was assigned to one of your lovers, and they should be able to help you find them. They were given a photo of them to identify them when they arrived. Find the maid with your lover's photo and go with them to find your boyfriend or girlfriend." They all nodded and did as they were told and split up around the house in search of their lost lovers.
AN: The following chapters will focus on the individual searches with the ships.
