Ari and I are besieged with interview requests from reporters wanting to know about us being kidnapped along with the Prince. Needless to say, we haven’t responded. Ophelia’s memorial service is held the following day at her church in France. Her sister left Montrovia, returning to France, after shockingly abdicating her right to the throne. Viktor did not attend Ophelia’s funeral and hasn’t been seen since. It’s rumored that he was picked up by the Montrovian government, questioned, and then was allowed to privately mourn the death of his fiancée at his father’s summer home on Lake Como. Intelligence believes he had no clue what Ophelia was planning. The country and the world mourn together on the third day as Montrovia lays their beloved King to rest. Ari and I are allowed to attend the funeral. Daniel was taken to the American Embassy from the palace the night of the kidnapping, not to be heard from since. On the fourth day, I alone receive an invitation to attend the coronation ceremony of the new King of Montrovia.
