After they left Adira's room, they immediately went outside the palace, where Prince Dylan was not yet there. Adira lined up with the soldier who accompanied them on their journey to Queen Alice's palace. Meanwhile, Prince Dylan was walking out of the palace with General Agustin with a very serious face. When he finally got out, General Agustin's car door opened for him while Adira just watched the prince inside the car. Only Adira's eyes moved to see Prince Dylan. General Agustin stood in front of them and reminded them of what they should do, even before the soldiers mounted their respective horses. General Agustin first looked Adira in the eye and nodded. Then she also rode the horse. A few moments later, the car started, and the soldiers behind it followed. The speed car was fast enough to catch up with the speed of a horse, but Adira was wincing because her thin steel suit was up and down on her shoulders, even though she had put it on properly. Now she felt the weight. Mea
Prince Dylan frowned. "I thought you weren't going to follow us."Prince Franco shrugged and looked at his sister. "It's getting close to noon, and you need to eat, Francesca. You're not going to let Prince Dylan's offer you down, are you?" They both looked at each other for a few seconds before the princess nodded. "Let's go inside, and we won't stay here any longer. It's a long journey back to our palace, and it's yours too, Prince Dylan."Prince Dylan nodded, and they entered the small diner together; Adira was left outside.While Adira was standing, her stomach suddenly made a noise. She remembered that she didn't eat her breakfast because it wasn't what she should have eaten before leaving the palace. She simply touched her stomach. "Don't they feed their soldiers every time something like this has been out for nearly an afternoon and hasn't eaten?" she asked in her mind, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she spoke without facing the soldiers next to her. "Can I ask a questio
Prince Dylan knelt, and there was a nervous look on his face. "What happened?""I don't know why she just collapsed," answered Prince Franco.Prince Dylan stood up again and looked at the soldiers. "Pick her up, and we'll go back to the palace!""We will, my dear prince. " The two soldiers carefully lifted Adira, and Prince Dylan followed immediately with Princess Francesca.Prince Franco would have followed immediately when he saw Adira's sword on the ground. He was about to take it, but he stopped and frowned at what he saw. "Why are there two arrows here?" he said in surprise because he also witnessed how a piece of an arrow plunged towards Prince Dylan's place, but why did he see it become two now?The arrows blocked by Adira's sword were side by side, but one arrow was five feet away. None of the soldiers were carrying arrows because they were using swords earlier. Surprised, Prince Franco quickly took the sword and ran to follow immediately.Meanwhile, from a tree far away from
Meanwhile, Prince Franco and Princess Francesca have arrived at their palace, but the princess can no longer paint her face as her brother helps her get off the horse.Prince Franco noticed that Princess Francesca's face was not in a good mood. "Why is your face like that?""I should be with Prince Dylan in their palace. Why did you bring me home so soon?!" It's grumbling.He frowned at the way she spoke. "You saw what happened, didn't you? His soldier is in danger, so you better not go with Prince Dylan to their palace."There was anger in the princess's eyes. "What if their soldier passes out? They shouldn't worry because they have a lot of them, even if one of his soldiers is reduced, it's not a case."His face became serious. "The way you talk makes it sound like a palace soldier is worth nothing, Francesca. You don't know the big part they are playing while we are peaceful inside our palace.""Why is it true? They are only paid to watch over us from anyone who wants to hurt us!"
Tears fell from Prince Dylan's eyes as he weakly leaned back in the chair."This is only temporary, Prince Dylan. Everyone will return when your father is completely healed." After King Cyrus said that, he also left, and when he left the dining table, he noticed Adira standing while leaning against the wall.King Cyrus's eyes were on Adira because he was wondering why there was a soldier there until he passed. Adira, on the other hand, followed King Cyrus until he disappeared from her sight.General Agustin approached Prince Dylan. "Be strong, my dear prince. I know it's against your heart to have someone else take over your palace, but we can't do anything about it wen they say so.""What kind of agreement are they talking about? Father never mentioned that to me.""Honestly, I don't know about that agreement either, because the matter is only between the kings, so I can't say my opinion either."Prince Dylan clenched his fist on the table. "Why hasn't the doctor been able to determi
Meanwhile, Prince Damon just stared at King Stephen as he looked him over from head to toe."What made the king sick, and he still hasn't woken up?"Prince Dylan sighed and looked into his father's face. "It has not yet been determined what exactly my father's illness is. The doctor has not yet determined what caused his body to weaken.""Why don't you take him to the hospital to find out what exactly is wrong with King Stephen?"Prince Dylan walked to the other side of the bed and looked outside the room. "Because I thought that the doctor would immediately know the true illness of my father, and another thing is that we also kept it a secret so that it would not reach other palaces about it, but there is a secret that cannot be hidden for long. The nobles rushed into our palace and they already know the condition of my father, the king, but the only thing I can't accept is what they told me." Prince Damon frowned. "About the temporary holder of our palace, but not me.""What do you
She breathed a sigh; she felt like he knew who was in front of him or that she was just too nervous that she might get caught right away, especially if it was Prince Damon who she suspected. She left the room and closed the door. She didn't follow them because she had a chance to go back to her room. When she got inside, she immediately took off the soldier's suit and placed the cup on the small table. She sat near the small table and stared at the cup. "I need time for this. It's a good thing I know something about this style of a plan; I have a hunch that what's in the mouth of the cup is poison." She took her other things from the bag and tried to determine if what she had in mind was true.Meanwhile, while Prince Franco was walking quietly in the corridor of Paradise Castle, he was stopped by a shout. He frowned and was about to start walking again when he heard another shout from the dining table, which is why the prince went there.He found Princess Francesca and a servant be
The sun finally appeared, and everyone in the palace was awake, except for Adira, who was still fast asleep, but her eyes widened when she heard the sound of the doorknob. She stood up and put her ear to the door, but it started again as if that person were trying to open the door.Meanwhile, the person doing that is Prince Dylan. In the few months, he didn't go to Adira's room, now he felt the need to go there again because he always went out to see Princess Francesca, but he didn't expect that when he went to Adira's room again, it would be open.He tried again to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn't turn. Prince Dylan frowned. "Why is the door to this room locked? This is the first time someone has locked a door in the palace," he said to himself in surprise.Prince Dylan didn't stop until he opened the door. Adira just sat on her bed again and after a few seconds laid down again to sleep; in her mind, the door was locked and couldn't be opened easily.General Agustin was moving towa
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
