The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

She closed her eyes and wondered if there were any plants in or around the palace, but she couldn’t remember seeing any. “Looks like I have to go out of the palace and find that plant. But maybe tomorrow night; my mind and body are too tired now, and it’s only a few hours until night.”

Meanwhile, at Paradise Castle, Queen Alice, and the princess have almost reached the palace because there is still a way through it, and they spent some time there.

King Felip will see them immediately.

“Where did you go, my queen?”

Queen Alice smiled and looked at Princess Francesca. “At Stalwart Castle, we would have liked to have spoken to Prince Dylan, but it seems he has a visitor to prioritize.”

“What do you and the prince have to talk about? You didn’t let me know about that,” he frowned when he said.

“It’s just about the wedding, Felip. Your princess wants to get married to the prince of Stalwart Castle. Your princess doesn’t want us to be together for a long time,” Queen Alice said jokingly.

Princess Francesca answered. “Not like that, Mother.” Queen Alice just smiled and caressed the princess’s cheek.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m just kidding, my princess. Go to your room first and change your clothes; it’s almost dinner time, so get some rest.”

Princess Francesca nodded and bowed slightly to her father. When the princess was gone, King Felip spoke seriously to Queen Alice again.

“You know the king of Stalwart Castle is not doing well, Alice.”

She sighed and tiredly looked at King Felip. “I know that. I just tried to talk to Prince Dylan first about the wedding, but it doesn’t seem like the right time to talk about it yet.”

“It’s not the right time for that. There’s still a lot to happen before the wedding you say goes ahead, but for now, you should rest. You look very tired now.” King Felip came closer and kissed his wife’s forehead. Queen Alice smiled and quietly walked to their room.

When King Cyrus returned to his palace, he immediately looked for Prince Damon. He saw him behind the palace using his bow and arrow in a circle of wood.

“Prince Damon,” King Cyrus called.

Prince Damon immediately turned to his father. “Do you need anything, Father?”

“We need to talk about something. Stop that and go inside the palace.” And King Cyrus walked back to the palace.

Surprised, Prince Damon immediately followed while still holding his bow in his left hand.

They headed to the dining room because the sun was going down and it was time to eat dinner. Prince Damon set the bow down on a chair and began questioning his father before the food arrived.

“What should we talk about, Father?”

King Cyrus sighed before speaking. “Tomorrow you must go to Stalwart Castle.”

He frowned. “Why do I have to go to Stalwart Castle? I just came from there because I visited King Stephen.”

“You don’t know about this or Prince Dylan, but you will temporarily hold the palace of Stalwart Castle.”

He was stunned for a moment and confused by what his father said. “Temporarily replacing King Stephen?”

“Yes.”

“Why should I temporarily replace King Stephen? His son Prince Dylan is there, and who would have thought to temporarily replace the king of Stalwart Castle?”

“That’s an agreement, Damon, and there’s nothing I can do about it because more nobles and kings have decided on an agreement to temporarily replace a king if he’s seriously ill.”

“Why don’t you just take over?”

“I was the chosen one, but Prince Dylan didn’t want me to hold Stalwart Castle because of Valiant Castle, and he said that you would temporarily hold Stalwart Castle.”

Prince Damon frowned and smirked. “We barely got along, and he chose me. The prince of Stalwart Castle is making me fun.

“What’s the reason, and you don’t like Prince Dylan? You should get along because King Stephen is my best friend, and you are another one to help if something happens in each other’s palaces.”

Prince Damon laughed softly as he looked over the table. “I don’t need help; I can rule a palace without help from other people.”

“This is only temporary, my son. When Stephen recovers, you will come back here, and maybe it is time for me to step down from the throne.”

He stared at his father before answering. “Then I agree.” He stood up and was ready to leave to return the bow he brought before eating, but before that, he turned to his father. “Mother has been looking for you for a few hours. Maybe you can go see her now.” and walked away.

The night had come, and Adira was waiting quietly in her room. General Agustin didn’t show up for her again, so she couldn’t tell him about the letter she found under Prince Dylan’s bed.

While looking up at the ceiling, Adira was running through what she had read.

“If Dylan had read the letters, he would have known what was going on in the palace before, and I suspect it coincided with the letter King Stephen was receiving. One was threatening, but the one Dylan was receiving was a reminder to be careful.”

She had been staring at the ceiling for an hour when there was a soft knock on the bedroom door. She opened the door, and a servant with food was now in front of her.

“Sorry if your dinner took a while, young lady,” apologized the maid.

She nodded and reached for the plate with only food and a glass of water. “Thank you,” she said weakly and closed the door with her foot.

When Adira finished eating, she just put the utensils on the table and arranged them, because the maid would take them tomorrow when she brought the food again.

After two hours, Adira decided to go to sleep because her body was really tired and sleepiness was pulling her even though she tried to stop it. After a few moments, she fell asleep completely.

In the middle of the night, it was quiet inside the palace and outside. Only the soldiers were awake and watching around the palace when a mysterious person appeared at the top of the palace fence while dressed in black with a hood over his head. It jumped inside the palace gate from the fence. His speed could not be seen by the soldier because he was on the balcony of Adira’s room in just a few seconds.

At that time, Adira did not close the door to the balcony because of the curtain, and if you didn’t look closely, you would think it was closed because of the black curtain.

The mysterious man came to the door and pulled back the curtain. He saw that Adira was sleeping soundly. It wasn’t satisfied yet and entered the room, stopping right next to Adira’s bed.

He stared at Adira when he suddenly raised a hand towards the young lady’s face. He slowly removed the strands of hair that were covering Adira’s face, and when it was okay, he stared at the young lady’s face again. But Adira woke up, and when she opened her eyes, a mysterious person was now in front of her.

She slightly lifted her body and moved away from the person in front of her. “Who are you?” she asked boldly, but he just stared at her. Its full face cannot be seen because of the black face cloth, but its two brown eyes are visible.

She simply grabbed her two sticks from under the pillow. “I said, who are you? What do you need?”

It didn’t answer or move at all. He was still staring at her, but she was alarmed by him touching the end of his weapon that was on his waist, so she also took out her two sticks and aimed at him.

“Try to take off what’s on your waist if you don’t want to see the red color,” she said seriously, but she frowned when he just walked over to the foot of her bed and faced her again.

Based on what it’s wearing, it looks like the one she saw before at the gate of the palace watching Dylan’s balcony, but its weapon is not a bow and arrow now; based on what she can see now, it’s a sword.

“What do you need, you are here in my room and the palace of Stalwart Castle. How dare you enter here; are you planning something?” She didn’t get an answer from the mysterious person in front of her, and he didn’t blink while staring at her.

In her mind, she wondered, “Is this person crazy and doesn’t even want to answer my question?”
