The day before the archery competition, the two were still practicing. However, Adira will include a lesson on how to use feelings in combat on that day. Adira and Prince Dylan are already outside before the sun rises to train, even though almost all of Prince Dylan's attempts to hit the target are always in white. So, even though the tournament is tomorrow, Adira is still training with Prince Dylan. "Five more, and when all the arrows hit the target, you can rest for a while because we will move on to the sword." Dylan looked at her as if to say that she was serious about what she said. "Don't look at me like that. I focused on teaching you how to use a bow and arrow, and you haven't even held a sword for days. It's good now that we try to activate your senses when there is a sudden enemy." He ignored her and focused his attention on the target. All five pieces are now buried in the white color on the target. She can tell that he is ready for tomorrow. She approached him and
Meanwhile, General Agustin, who had been watching earlier, was seriously looking at Adira now. "She's good even with her eyes blindfolded, but it's also amazing because she's good at using her senses and how she can block Prince Dylan's every move." He also saw what the prince did. "And I think someone's already fallen for her. I won't say his name, but he is a prince," General Agustin said to himself and walked away. While Adira was fixing her hair, Prince Dylan spoke. "You have to keep your promise." "Promise?" Dylan's eyes widened as he looked at her. "You said earlier that I can make requests as long as I obey you." "You didn't injure me." "What? You said that, so no turning back." She just sighed. "What is your request?" Dylan had a suppressed smile. "Tomorrow you won't be wearing those kinds of clothes." She was surprised and frowned. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing today?" "You see our servants here in the palace? That's what you can wear." "That's y
Meanwhile, upon entering, the two princes were immediately greeted by General Agustin. "I'm glad that the two of you see each other." General Agustin looks at Prince Franco. "I'm sorry, Prince Franco. I didn't notice that you were with Queen Alice and King Felip earlier. " He even bowed in respect. "You have nothing to apologize for, general. I didn't get out of the car right away, so you didn't see me." He nodded. "Now, both of you follow me." The general walked away first, and the two followed in silence. When they entered the dining area, they were immediately seated. Queen Alice is now smiling at Prince Dylan. "How are you, Prince Dylan?" "I'm okay, Queen Alice," he replied. But the queen seemed pleased to see him. "The handsome face the last time I saw you was when your mother, Queen Haraya, was still alive." Prince Dylan just smiled, and King Stephen spoke while smiling, "Maybe we can eat now." Those at the dinner table agreed, and the two princes were silent. Whi
Adira stopped walking. "Wait!" she turned to where she met the couple noble. "That means I'm facing "The King of Swords," who the general is talking about." She closed her eyes and walked again. "It was so sudden that I didn't remember General Agustin's telling me." She shook her head and entered the kitchen. Meanwhile, outside, Queen Alice is already next to the car, ready to leave. They all just stood and looked at King Stephen and Prince Dylan. "We are leaving, King Stephen," said King Felip. "May your way to your palace be pleasant," King Stephen said with a smile. King Felip and Queen Alice entered the car, but Prince Franco was left standing still and facing King Stephen and Dylan. "I am glad, King Stephen, that you are in good condition now that we have met again. Until we meet again, King Stephen. " His gaze shifted to Prince Dylan. "And you too, Prince Dylan, but we won't be seeing each other for long because tomorrow I will attend the archery tournament." He bowed in
While Adira was observing the appearance of the place where the competition would take place, she just folded her arms and frowned. Her eyes looked at the princes one by one. "Is this really what it means to be a prince? They have looked; almost all the princes I see have different appearances and body postures," she said in her mind. The clothes of the princes are different. Some are simple, some are fancy, and some are even ordinary, but the appearance of the fabric makes them look expensive. She looked at Dylan and her eyes traveled from head to toe. He didn't notice her because he was looking in another direction. "Wait!" she faced the prince because only her head was facing him. "I noticed something, Dylan." He turned around and frowned. "What?" "Why does it look like our clothes have the same design but yours is a different color?" He looked at what he was wearing and at her. "There is." Her forehead is slowly frowning. "Why?" "What, why?" "Why are we wearing t
Adira stood far away from Prince Dylan because of the number of princes surrounding her. Adira suspected the rest were siblings. There were about 10 princes there. Prince Dylan turned around, looking for Adira. When he saw Adira, he walked away from the prince and stood next to her. She frowned as Dylan approached her again. "Why are you here again? The competition is about to start. Why did you leave?" "I don't feel comfortable when they are near me." "Why?" "I feel like they're going to do something while I'm not facing them. I should stay away so I don't hear hurtful words while the other princes start to prove themselves. " She folded her arms and looked at the princes. "They are not also blessed with kindness like Prince Damon?" "Some are misbehaving, but I'm just not sure about the others." "It's a pity you don't have any friends here." Dylan looked at her with a shocked and angry face. "You're starting again, young lady. We're not in the palace, so I can't show
They also waited for a few minutes, and Adira's eyebrows almost met while her eyes followed Prince Dylan's prize. "Congratulations, Prince Dylan. You are the newly awarded best at handling the bow and arrow this year. I'm sorry that your prize took so long," said an old man, and Adira suspected it was the so-called jury. Prince Dylan smiled. "Thank you very much, sir." The prize had been given to Prince Dylan, and the old man had left. Meanwhile, Adira was just staring at Prince Dylan's prize. "This is your prize." And she pointed to the prize he was referring to. Dylan frowned. "Yes, this is it. Why is there a problem here?" "Are you sure?" "Yes, why?" "Your prize is a cow?" It can see the surprise on her face at his prize. "Yes, a cow. You don't see it as a horse." She looked at him badly. "I thought the prize was a trophy or money." Dylan laughed softly. "That's not possible for us because we are princes. Such a prize can only be given to ordinary people here."
The sun had almost set when Adira and Prince Dylan returned home to the palace. The tiredness of the journey back to Stalwart Castle can also be seen on their faces. When they entered the gate of the palace, General Agustin immediately greeted them. "It's good that you got home before the sun went down. Why did it take you so long to get here? All I know is that the competition was over at around two o'clock in the afternoon." Prince Dylan and Adira got off the horse. "We met some mysterious men, and we weren't allowed to take the nearest road to get here, so it took us this long," Dylan explained. General Agustin nodded. "You must be hungry. Come inside." General Agustin was about to walk into the palace when he faced the two again. "What happened to the tournament?" Dylan looked at Adira, and his lips slowly lifted because of the gradual smile. "You won't believe it, general. I won the competition." Dylan was very happy to tell General Agustin while they were still outside
She's confused by what they say, even to Sabrina. "I'm not your missing child, and the girl beside you now is my sister, even though we didn't treat each other very well!"Queen Alice came down and was about to approach Adira, but she backed away, which made the queen cry even more."If you want a real word, we have to call the person you've been with for a long time."King Felip nodded to the general of their palace, and when he returned, Adira was even more confused about the person he was with now, Simon."Simon?"He hesitated to smile before speaking. "Long time no see, Adira.""Simon, you're the only one who can prove everything to him and tell him why he's here in a country full of palaces," said King Felip.She frowned when she looked at Simon. "What does he mean?""The mission is not the only reason you are here, Adira. Because there is another reason why I forced you to accept the offer of the king of Stalwart Castle to accept the mission, and that is because of your real fat
"What are you talking about, King Felip? I never thought of harming your princess before."King Felip first looked at Princess Francesca. "I know everything you did before, Cyrus. You also sent to find my princess to kill her even when she was a baby because you felt that when the time came for the children to reach the age when they would marry and Stalwart Castle would grow strong."King Cyrus just stared at King Felip in silence. "You killed two people because of your greed, Cyrus, so he left behind a child who is still crying." He looked at the soldiers of King Cyrus. "You still have a chance to order your soldiers to put down their swords if you want to live."King Cyrus laughed loudly as he looked at King Felip. "How did you find out about the things I've been doing in secret?""To me."King Cyrus frowned when a familiar voice spoke, but he was even more surprised to see his face."P-prince Damon—my son.""Good evening, Father."King Cyrus was confused by what was happening. "Yo
Prince Damon stood up and walked closer to the wall, where he could see the bottom of the palace. Adira followed him."He's not referring to Prince Dylan, who will be killed; it's King Stephen. I'm the one who sends the letter to Prince Dylan with a servant whose name is Tasha, and it always says, "Be careful, prince."She quickly looked at the prince's face. "That means the letters I found under Dylan's bed came from him."He sighed. "But it was too late. I didn't know that he was slowly taking King Stephen's life. I thought he was going to start a war right away, but I was wrong, and I didn't tell Prince Dylan in my letters to be ready. I hope he is. I heard you and General Agustin the other day talking about what is happening in the king's body."She just listened to him carefully and didn't speak at first. "You should thank me because I helped you heal the king."She frowned. "In what way did you help? You didn't talk to me about that?"It laughed softly. "When you were traveling
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."
When Adira finished washing her face, she immediately sat down in front of the table and ate while staring at her bed. She was still wondering how the general could do that.An hour passed, and Adira was ready. She left the room and continued down the stairs. She stopped for a moment near the door leading out of the palace."Where else is the prince going? Why would he leave if the prince of Valiant Castle is here? I still have strong doubts about that prince." She turned aside because Dylan was already outside the palace. It just looked straight, and when it was opposite the car door, it stopped and looked at her."Soldier, come. Come to me," he called her calmly.Curious, she came closer, but not too close to him. Dylan looked her in the eye before speaking."You will be my companion in the car. Other soldiers will use a horse, but you will be with me in our car."She frowned at what he said because why did he say she was in the car to ride? As far as she knows, only General Agustin
Adira approached King Stephen's bed and looked at the table there.She looked over at the king, who was fast asleep, but she frowned when she noticed something on his lips. She brought her face closer to see more clearly.Her face became serious as she saw the king's lips more clearly. "This is bad; that person continues to pour poison into the king's mouth even when he is asleep. It is obvious from the lips that are almost purple as if he has been punched several times."She moved to the other side of the bed and looked at the dextrose, but she stopped, was stunned for a moment, and thought, "The poison liquid entering the king's vein may be also infused."She looked around inside and stopped at one side because there was dextrose there that hadn't been used and syringes. It will not be seen if the person who enters is at the door and only goes to the other side, and if it happens to go to the side where the dextrose is, it will only be seen if the person looks at a bag that looks li
The next day, Adira woke up around noon. She couldn't get up yet because her body still wanted to lie down, but she also had to move to get the juice from the leaves he got last night.General Agustin entered the room. "Good afternoon, young lady. Good and awake—" General Agustin stopped when he saw Adira's condition. He came closer and held Adira's arm. "What's that on your arm?""Cloth."The general was amazed by her answer. "I mean. Why do you have this? You didn't have that last night."She sat on the edge of the bed. "I was tripped by a tree root last night, so my arm was injured."The general seemed confused. "Stumbled? You're just going to walk, and if you do get stumbled, you'll only get a slight or small wound.""I didn't see what I was passing by, in general, so my wound was worse. Could I borrow some wound cleaner and medicine as well? Give me a jug of hot water. When the maids bring me food, please tell her to bring half a jug of hot water."The general nodded. "You succee
She put the cloth over her face and grabbed two pieces of wood from under the pillow before jumping off the balcony.It's quiet outside, and no more soldiers are walking. Only the soldiers at the palace gate were outside, and there were only two of them. She stepped on the fence because that's where she was going to go; luckily, some things could be used to jump over the other fence. When she got down, she ran away from the palace.Adira spent an hour walking and running to reach the small forest. She prepared herself, even down to what she would use to have a little light on the way even though her two sticks were hanging on her back. She'd better be ready because some animals might rush at her.She gasped for air before starting to walk into the forest. It is very dark, and there is no visible light inside the forest, so it is also scary to enter it at night. The only thing that can be heard is the chirping of insects and her stomping on dry leaves on the ground.She started looking
Prince Dylan quickly got down and continued to walk closer to Prince Damon."Prince Damon, what made you stop walking?" asked Prince Dylan.Prince Damon shifted his gaze to her. "There's no reason why; I just stopped walking." and looked at Adira again. Prince Dylan noticed that, so he also looked at Adira's place."Then we have to continue again," Prince Dylan said seriously, and he walked back to the throne.Prince Damon smirked, and Adira saw that."It looks like this prince is planning something again," she said as Prince Damon walked, her eyes narrowing.When Prince Damon reached the top, he tried to approach King Stephen's throne."Stop walking, Prince Damon. Don't you dare approach or sit on my father's throne," Prince Dylan said seriously.Prince Damon raised his eyebrows. "What else is the reason why you chose me if I'm not going to sit on the throne?""For the time being, Prince Damon. It is not stated that you will take over as king of our palace, so you can stay here, but
