Worried

Meanwhile back at the castle, the Queen was getting rather concerned about her daughter....

She had just assumed that Elora was going out to make a snowman or some snow angels, but she had been gone a long time...

...and she wasn't in the courtyard...

She went to look, then asked the servants if anyone had seen Elora, but no one had. She was getting really worried.  So she went to see her husband, who was trying to get a head start on some year-end paperwork...

"I can't find Elora!"

"What do you mean 'you can't find her'?"

"She said she wanted to go outside for a bit, and get some fresh air."

"I thought she was just going out to play in the snow in the courtyard, but she's not there...."

"That was a couple of hours ago, and no one has seen her..."

"I'm so worried.  Where could she have gone?"

"I'll take some men and go out to look for her..."

"Try not to think the worst. She has to be somewhere..."

'We'll find her ..."

"...and bring her home..."

So the King and his men rode off to search for the Princess...
