The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

While Prince Dylan was out of the palace, he was about to get into a car without a soldier following him inside, so he went out again and asked one of his soldiers.

“Where is the soldier I was in the car with earlier?”

The soldier bowed before answering. “The soldier you are talking about, dear prince, is the king of Paradise Castle.”

Prince Dylan frowned. “Why is the king with her? Has she done anything?”

The soldier shook his head. “The only way the soldier said goodbye to us was that they were going to do something with the king.”

“Did you see where they went?”

The soldier pointed to the road where they passed Adira. “In that direction, dear prince.”

“Thank you, I leave you here for a moment, and I’ll just go see her.”

Meanwhile, King Felip is still shocked by Adira. He looked at his hand, where he was holding the sword that was now on the ground.

Adira’s face was calm as she looked at the king.

“Great! Where did you learn that style?”

“Nobody taught, I just found out, dear king.”

King Felip frowned. “What you’ve done is you can be damned because of the style you used without training for months.”

Adira raised her eyebrows. “The only thing I know that is trained is the first-time handling of any weapon. The style will suddenly appear even if it is not trained for a long time; something new is needed even in the middle of the war.”

The king smiled as he picked up his sword from the ground. “That’s how brave you are. Your mind is so fast that it also flows quickly to your hands.”

King Felip approached Adira and raised one hand to shake hands. “Congratulations on your skill with a sword.”

Adira stared at the king’s hand before taking it and shaking hands. “Thank you.”

From behind, Adira called her. “Soldier!”

She turned to the voice that called her, and she saw Dylan approaching.

“Come on, we’re going back to the palace.” The prince looked at the king and bowed. “We have to go, King Felip.”

“Then be careful on your journey back to Stalwart Castle.” He looked at Adira. “May this not be the last time we meet.” King Felip smiled and left the two.

Prince Dylan faced Adira. “You two fought the king?”

She didn’t answer. Dylan closed his eyes. “I forgot you can’t speak, come on.”

They walked back to the car and began to travel back to the palace and while they were traveling, Adira noticed Prince Dylan silently staring out the window. It’s a different time now than earlier when it was just going to Paradise Castle. Prince Dylan suddenly turned around, which surprised her a little because she didn’t immediately look away. Prince Dylan just smiled at her, but the sound didn’t reach his ears because the smile he gave seemed sad.

“The queen of Paradise Castle has discussed something not so good. Why does her strength seem to have suddenly disappeared?” she said to herself.

When they arrived at the palace, Prince Dylan tiredly got out of the car and walked slowly into the palace, but he turned to Adira again and looked as if he were crying because of the twinkle in his eye. Adira was still confused because of what she saw in the prince’s eyes.

“I’m sure something bad happened during his conversation with Queen Alice.”

The day passed, and Prince Dylan could not talk to General Agustin or Prince Damon. Adira, on the other hand, was busy making a cure for the king. She has been able to put the juice of the leaves into dextrose for a few days. Prince Damon stayed at Stalwart Castle.

One night, while Adira was walking back to her room from King Stephen’s room, Prince Damon stopped her.

She stopped because of the person in front of her, Prince Damon.

“Could you join me for some hot coffee, soldier?” She frowned and doubted his question. “It’s only for a moment. I can’t talk to anyone because the people here are already asleep. Perhaps you should rest because you’re going to your room with the soldiers.”

She thought for a moment but nodded immediately. He smiled and said, “Go to the top of the palace. Let’s drink coffee there; I’ll take it there.”

She stared at the prince because it was really surprising what he was doing now. “Just don’t do something bad; you’ll get a scar on your face,” she said in her mind before nodding in response.

“Go ahead and go there. Just wait for me. “It left, and she started walking; after reaching the bottom of the stairs, she went up. The weather is cold because the wind is blowing. What she was wearing didn’t help either, so she was quite cold. She sat on a long chair and waited for Prince Damon.

Only a few minutes later, Prince Damon arrived with two cups of coffee. He placed the cup next to Adira before sitting on the end of the chair and also placed a cup with only coffee next to him.

Prince Damon just looked up at the sky while Adira tried to hold the cup. She was about to drink, but she stopped.

“My face is blocked; how can I drink it?”

“You can take off your headgear when you drink the coffee,” Prince Damon said suddenly because he was looking at her.

She didn’t follow him and just put the coffee down by her side.

“Why didn’t you continue drinking coffee? It tastes better when it’s h-Adira.”

Her heart beat fast, and she repeated what he said in her mind. “Did he call me by my name?” She slowly looked at the prince, but she saw that he was just looking at her seriously.

“Don’t hide from the thing on your head anymore. I know who you are, so you can take it off.”

She doesn’t know why, but she just followed his order. When she finally removed what was on her head, he smiled at her, which made her frown.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face, young lady.”

She nodded and lowered the hood she had removed from her head. She took the coffee and drank it. She didn’t think that there might be something in the coffee because she was really cold and she needed to warm her body.

“How did you know?” was her initial question.

The prince smiled and took a sip of coffee before answering. “When I visited the King of Stalwart Castle for the first time, the King got sick.”

She frowned, remembering the day he looked at her from head to toe before leaving the room.

“It’s not just teaching Prince Dylan; that’s why you’re here, right?” She shook her head. “Because you wouldn’t wear a soldier’s suit if it didn’t mean anything. You also weren’t showing off to Prince Dylan, so I suspected you had another mission.”

“It’s great that you knew right away that I was Adira,” she said calmly.

“I will never forget the look in your eyes, young lady, every time you look annoyed and angry every time you see me.”

She didn’t say a word and just listened to what he had to say next.

The prince suddenly became serious. “Just a few more days, young lady.”

She frowned. “Which?”

He looked seriously into her eyes. “There’s a war going on, right here at Stalwart Castle.”

Her eyebrows meet, but she’s nervous about what Prince Damon said. “How do you say there’s a war? How did you know that? Are you the one who started it,” she asked one after the other.

It made him laugh. “You hate me so much. How did you think I didn’t notice that you were watching over me every time I was near Prince Dylan?”

She looked away, but the tone of his voice suddenly became serious. “I’m not kidding about the war coming, young lady. Prince Dylan needs to prepare for that; any day they might invade here.”

Her eyes squinted. “Who will declare war?”

Prince Damon looked sadly at the sky. “King Cyrus-I mean my father.”

She was so surprised that she almost dropped the cup of hot coffee she was holding. “What are you saying there?”

“That’s true; he is the culprit of everything that happens in the palace of Stalwart Castle, to Prince Dylan, and especially to King Stephen.”

“Wait, I’m confused. Even once, I didn’t suspect your father because I thought it was you who would do something bad.”

He slightly widened his eyes at her. “Not everything is visible in the appearance of the person, young lady!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She shrugged. “What is your father’s reason, and why would he start declaring war?”

Prince Damon smiled sadly. “Because of Prince Dylan’s mother.”

Her forehead is slowly frowning. “Is there a story to what you’re talking about?”

Prince Damon started talking about Prince Dylan’s mother. “Queen Haraya is Prince Dylan’s mother and King Stephen’s wife. She was kind and always smiling whenever I saw her before. Prince Dylan was also cheerful like his mother, but that only diminished when Queen Haraya died. My father is a close friend of King Stephen, and, based on my mother’s story, they were together almost before they became king. King Cyrus had a crush on Queen Haraya, and King Stephen supported him in what he wanted, but the queen, Queen Haraya, did not like or have feelings for my father because he wanted King Stephen. As the years passed, King Stephen and Queen Haraya stayed together, while their father suffered because he was not the queen’s choice.”

“He’s retaliating just because of that.”

Prince Damon smiled slightly. “That’s right, young lady. My father imprinted in his mind that King Stephen stole Queen Haraya, so even though the queen and king of Stalwart Castle were married, my father was still angry with King Stephen to the point where Queen Haraya is already gone, but King Stephen has no idea that his best friend has been hating him for a long time and wants him to disappear from this world.”

“When your father could do that out of love?”

Prince Damon nodded. “When it’s a heart-to-heart conversation, it’s inevitable to say or do something bad, even to a close friend.”

“How did you know your father was going to declare war?”

He looked at her. “Ever since I noticed something strange about Father that day, I have followed his every move. The letter that King Stephen received was from my father.”

She looked at the prince, confused. “What did you say?”

It looked into her eyes, but he immediately avoided it. “You heard right. The letter that King Stephen receives is from my father; it contains letters that threaten Prince Dylan’s life, but the letter is just a trick to him.”
