3 way switches receiving no voltage over the common Hi,

So recently the lights in my kitchen stopped working. I assumed the switches went bad so I replaced both of them. After that it still did not work. I tested both common wires and neither of them showed any voltage. Meanwhile all the other lights on the same breaker still work. And receive a voltage on their common. Now my question is how I fix this. Is the common normally  pigtailed from a common that belongs to another switch? My electricity knowledge is fairly limited so any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance
