The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

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 succeeded in your mission last night. It’s good that there is a plant here.”

In her mind, she thought, “If only you knew, general, how hard it was for me to find the plant. There was another person who tried to annoy me last night.

“Then I’m going out. I have to go back to the dining table because the two princes are already having breakfast.”

“They are not okay with each other. Why do they eat together?”

The general smiled slightly. “Because even if you’re angry or annoyed with someone here in the palace, someone can’t be the first to eat. Unless part of a family is sick or goes to a far place, and because of this, Prince Damon is now part of Stalwart Castle, so Prince Dylan needs to follow tradition.”

She winced. “There is also faking going on here,” she whispered.

“Are you saying something, young lady?” She shook her head. “I’ll leave you here. Just wait for the servant.”

General Agustin came out and went to the dining table. He just stood near them.

While they were quietly eating, Prince Dylan and Prince Damon spoke. “By the way, Prince Dylan. Is the king getting better? I tried to enter his room, but the soldiers stopped me.”

Prince Dylan stopped eating, and before answering, the prince wiped the side of his mouth with a white handkerchief. “Only trusted people are allowed inside my father’s room.”

Prince Damon frowned slightly. “Can’t I be trusted?”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Prince Dylan shrugged and continued eating.

“But are you sure that everyone who enters the royal chamber can be trusted? Even you can be suspected.”

Prince Dylan’s face became serious as he slowly lowered the spoon with only the food that he was supposed to eat.

“My father is the king of Stalwart Castle; why can’t I be trusted?”

“Even blood relatives do something bad to their family.”

Prince Dylan looked Prince Damon in the eye. “In that case, I will punish myself if I have done anything wrong in my family. No one in the world is born perfect; everyone makes mistakes, but only a few accept and embrace the mistakes they made, whether they were intentional or not. It wasn’t intentional, but I can assure you that if I made a mistake, I’m not the one who could say that mistake was planned.”

General Agustin smiled at what Prince Dylan said, even though he was a bit far away. For the time he had been the general of Stalwart Castle, he could say that Prince Dylan is now fighting and is no longer afraid of anyone, even if it is a stronger person than him.

Prince Damon smirked slightly. “Well, you’re right there, Prince Dylan. It’s better to make a mistake by accident than to do something bad on purpose, but you know what’s scarier about it.”

Prince Dylan frowned. “What?”

“Everyone sees a sin that is not intended to be committed, rather than one that has a plan in the first place. It is not easy to identify a person who wants to hurt you in the first place, so it is even more frightening when you encounter such a person. Complacency you that they won’t hurt you, but in the end, it will leave you in a war where you are the only one standing in the middle while the enemy, who is also on your side, surrounds you to bring you down.”

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, their plates still full of food. The meal could not continue because of the intensity of the conversation between the two. General Agustin was just looking at them; he didn’t want to speak either because that was not good, especially since the two princes were higher than him.

“Why does what you say sound like you want to convey something?” said Prince Dylan.

Prince Damon smiled and continued eating. “I mean. Only your shadow will be your ally; in other words, you should trust yourself before anyone else.”

Prince Dylan was stunned for a moment, but he picked up the spoon and started eating again. The general was able to breathe well because he was silent until they finished eating and left the dining table.

Meanwhile, Adira also finished eating lunch. She started arranging the leaves with just enough of the hot water that the maid had brought. She placed the ten leaves and soaked them for five minutes before removing them one by one. She took a small bottle and squeezed the leaves, almost filling the bottle with ten leaves. Adira held it up and stared at it.

“This will be enough for today or until tomorrow because the dextrose needs to be sped up a bit and then the drip is returned to normal, but I need a syringe to get the medicine through the dextrose hose.”

She put the ones she used on the table, but before that, she threw away the hot water. She put the bottle containing the leaf juice in the drawer, and she will just wait for the right time to enter King Stephen’s room again.

Meanwhile, in the palace of Paradise Castle, Queen Alice, and Princess Francesca are together.

“Mother, when are we going back to the palace at Stalwart Castle? Maybe we can go back there and talk to Prince Dylan,” said Princess Francesca.

Queen Alice sighed. “Can’t you wait for his father to get better?”

The princess’s eyes were sad. “I can’t say if the king is recovering from his illness, but it would be better if the wedding happened so that Prince Dylan has someone to take care of his father.”

Queen Alice smiled and hugged Princess Francesca. “Tomorrow we will try again to talk to Prince Dylan.”

Princess Francesca hugged her mother even tighter because of what she said.

Meanwhile, in a quiet place, a man was holding a phone who seemed to be calling someone.

There were several sounds from the other line before the caller answered. “Hello, who is it?” answered the person on the other line.

“You know who I am.”

The person on the other line froze. “For what reason did you get a call again?”

“The truth needs to be known, and you are the one witness who can prove what I am going to say. We need to meet as soon as possible because I don’t want the chaos here to last much longer.

“If that’s what needs to be done for good, I’ll do it.”

“Good, I’ll call you again in case I need you.” He hung up and put the phone away before leaving the place.

In the palace of Stalwart Castle, while Adira lay in bed, she came up with a plan. She got up and sat down.

“If I act in the middle of the night, but the two princes might still be awake at that time, and I happen to be inside King Stephen’s room,” She was just dumbfounded, thinking about the plan. “I’ll just put on a soldier’s outfit before going in-wait, why didn’t I think of it? I’ll just go through the balcony; it’ll be safer for the people inside.” She smiled at her plan.

The night had come, and Adira made sure that no one would see her leave the palace and climb up to the balcony. Luckily she saw the long ladder the other day, so she has a chance to climb it now. When she was at the top, she leaned the ladder against the wall because a soldier might see it and suspect that someone had climbed up to the king’s room.

She tried to open the balcony door. She wasn’t disappointed because it was open, but before she went in, she parted the curtain a little. When she didn’t see anyone else, she finally went inside.

The light was on all night in King Stephen’s room because she knew that there was a time when General Agustin was looking at the king. She looked at the dextrose; she knew it was only half, so she still had a chance to add leaf extract, but her problem was the syringe she was going to use.
