Chapter 30: Missing from the guest list
Music Recommendation: With My own Eyes- Dario Marianelli

Mr. Gilbert bowed and stepped out of the room. He walked to the front guards and ordered one of them,
"Bring Mr. Hakim to the palace. Tell him that one of the guests is sick and needs attention. Quick."
Seeing the guard leave, Mr. Gilbert walked towards his room to find the guest lists handed to him by the Vizier. Pulling open the drawer, he grabbed the sheets before looking for the name the Mother Queen mentioned.
"There’s no mention of the name Tasia in here," Mr. Gilbert frowned after going through the three parchments. Wondering if he had perhaps missed it, he went through them once again, but on not finding the name, a frown came to settle on his face. He asked himself, "Did the Mother Queen give another name?"
Stuffing the parchments inside his vest, he left his room and made his way back to where the Mother Queen was with the rest of the royal family and the guests. When he reached the place, the Mother Queen had already stepped out of the room, and she exclaimed,
"Good that you are here, Norrix!" The Mother Queen was in an elated mood after downing one glass of wine. She ordered, "Take me to Tasia’s room," she brought her hand forward.
Mr. Gilbert respectfully bowed before he replied, "Your Majesty, I think there has been an error with the given name."
