The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

13. Suspicious Person



When Adira came out of Prince Dylan’s room, she didn’t walk away first.

“I can do that if you help me too,” she whispered before finally leaving the front door.

While she was walking, she would pass by the part where King Stephen and Prince Damon were eating. She slowed down and stopped for a moment at the wall, where she couldn’t be seen.

“Convey to your father my thanks for the fruit you brought here.” She heard King Stephen say.

“Your thanks will reach him, King Stephen.”

The conversation between the two continues.

She felt something coming, so she pretended it was just passing by. King Stephen came out, followed by Prince Damon.

The king frowned and wondered why she was there. “Adira, why are you here? Who is with the prince in his room?”

“The prince is resting, so I’m going out.”

“Has he eaten yet?”

“Yes.”

King Stephen looked at Prince Damon. “Then Prince Damon won’t be able to say goodbye to Prince Dylan. I have a favor to ask of you, Adira: Can you take Prince Damon to the entrance of the palace? ”

She looked at Prince Damon, who was just staring at her. “Yes, dear king.”

King Stephen patted the prince on the shoulder. “Until we meet again. I can’t take you to the entrance of my palace because my body suddenly felt unwell.”

She saw that Prince Damon had a little emotion on his face. “Does your physician need to call again and be here?”

The king shook his head. “Don’t mind it, I just need to rest. Be careful on your way back to Valiant Castle. ” King Stephen looked at her and bowed his head, meaning that she should do as he said, then he walked away and went to his room.

“Follow me, prince, for you to go home early,” she said and immediately walked without waiting for him.

Prince Damon immediately followed. Adira was in front, and the prince was just behind her. Adira stopped by the door and just waited for Prince Damon.

The prince didn’t walk out of the palace, but he stopped next to Adira. Adira was very confused about what Prince Damon did.

She said indifferently, “You can leave.”

He smiled. “Are you going to hate me like that and send me away like I’m not an important guest?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She sighed. “Here he is again,” she whispered.

He suddenly spoke. “I don’t think Prince Dylan will be able to participate in the tournament this year.”

She folded her arms. “Why did you say he couldn’t join?”

“Because of his lameness, it will take him the day of the tournament before he recovers.”

She grinned and rolled her tongue inside her mouth. “Don’t be too afraid. He will come that day, and I assure you he will bring home the greatest reward for a prince.”

He laughed, which surprised her. “That’s vague, young lady because the weapons I use most effectively are the bow and arrow. I’m also good with a sword, but I’m better with a bow.”

“I don’t care if you’re good at it,” she said, without any interest in what he said.

His jaw tightened at what she said. “You speak badly, young lady. I am not the enemy here. ”

Her eyes narrowed, but she remained facing the outside of the palace. “The question is, are you telling the truth now?” She turned to him and saw a slightly worried look on his face. “Are all the words coming out of your mouth true?” She raised her eyebrows while waiting for his answer.

He looked at her and slowly moved his shoulders with a soft laugh. She frowned. “I’m going to ask you, young lady. Am I telling the truth or just pretending in front of you?” While he was saying that word, his eyes seemed lifeless to her.

While no one let go of their gaze, she thought. “I don’t know if he’s telling the truth because it’s hard to read him. The expressions he shows on his face are different. People like me are even more deceived when people who hide something use that. Sadness is hidden when a person smiles. He may be showing me good things now, but maybe behind the scenes, he is not. I will be in even more trouble if I base it on what he is showing me. ”

She was surprised when a hand suddenly squeezed her cheek, so she looked at him with wide eyes. “Don’t think too much, young lady; you might lose your beauty. Don’t even turn your attention to me because you might be distracted for a moment and you’ll already be looking at me because your attention is only mine.” He smiled big and let go of my cheek. I held my cheek because of the pain of his pressure.

“I’m leaving. Until the next time we meet again.” He patted her cheek softly and left.

There is almost a line on her forehead from too much frowning. “What did he think I would like about him?” She shook her head and walked to her room.

As soon as she entered, she immediately pulled her bag under the bed. She opened it and took out the two pieces of wood that she always carries with her in her country whenever she needs to teach someone a lesson in the gangster world. She has also prepared her two black gloves because she thinks she will be able to use them in the next few days, especially since she has a bad feeling about the prince of another palace.

“How can I start investigating the entire palace if I have another mission with the prince of this palace? I’m sure he will be suspicious of my actions if I move around the part of the palace that I shouldn’t have.” It can see the difficulty on her face because it will be really difficult for her to act. She sighed and sat down. “Maybe I can only do those whenever Dylan is in another part of the palace. There I can see people and things freely. Right now, I have to think and plan all my next steps because it’s harder to move to a country that I do not belong in. ” She just laid down and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, in a forest, two people are facing each other. A woman and a person whose faces could not be seen because they were hidden in black clothes that were as long as the feet and the sleeves were up to the palms. It also has a cover on the head.

“Have you done what I ordered you to do?” said the mysterious person to the woman.

“I have done what you ordered, and I am sure that he has also read your letter,” answered the woman.

The mysterious person smiled slightly, as his lips were slightly visible. “Then you can leave. We’ll see you next week.”

The woman immediately left, and the suspicious person was left behind. Before leaving, it first looked at the palace of Stalwart Castle to see where the person was, then quickly left.

Meanwhile, while Adira closed her eyes, she heard a noise from outside, like rushing footsteps.

She immediately got up and went out. She saw other soldiers hurriedly walking to the prince’s room. She was alerted and followed them, but as soon as she entered, she almost tripped when she saw some stunned soldiers. She was confused, so she followed where their eyes were looking, but she was even more confused by the state of the prince after what she saw. “Didn’t you say, dear prince, that’s where you want to lie down?” Dylan is already at the bottom of his bed, right on the floor.

She asked the soldier. “What happened that you rushed here?”

“We heard a scream, and it came from the prince’s room. We thought someone had entered, but we didn’t expect that it was just the prince who fell on the bed, so there was a scream. ” She nodded and looked at Dylan.

“Aren’t you going to help me get into my bed?” He asked and wondered why they didn’t want to move when the prince was already on the floor.

The two soldiers moved quickly and helped him lie down on the bed again. “Thank you. You can go out now. ”

“Okay, dear prince.” They just bowed and went out. She, on the other hand, just folded her arms and looked at the prince.

He looked at her curiously. “What kind of look is that?”

“It feels like you’re being judged for the scene you made.”

His eyes widened, and he blinked several times. “I didn’t mean to fall!”

She raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know if you want attention or if you just don’t know that the edge of your bed is just the wrong move and you’re about to fall.”

He looked at her angrily again. “I was asleep, so I didn’t realize I had changed my position while sleeping. It turned out that I was in a position where if I moved, I would have fallen. ”

“Shouldn’t you be in a position where you lie down and don’t move anymore? Sometimes the princes I see in the show look dead because they don’t move and they lie down when they sleep. Is it surprising?”

He was irritated as he clutched his blanket. “Well, what you see is not true. It’s not because I’m a prince; that’s what happens to me, especially when I’m asleep. My body has its own life; it chooses the places it wants to sleep in.”

She grinned and leaned on the table in front of his bed. “It looks like you need to be watched 24 hours a day, dear prince. I don’t know why your behavior is like that. You are not a prince sometimes,” she said while frowning.

He sighed. “Because of my mother. She didn’t live here before she became a queen. I forgot which country she was from, but the truth is that she was not a noble like my father. My father told me that my mother was just an ordinary person. ”

She then said in her mind, “That’s why she has a habit. It’s like the country I came from. Isn’t that where the queen came from?”

While she was biting her thumb in thought, she remembered something. “It’s a good thing General Agustin didn’t pass by, otherwise, he would have rushed here again. You didn’t feel sorry for the old man anymore.”

He widened his eyes at her. “I explained why. Why are you repeating?”

She just shrugged her shoulders and looked outside the balcony of his room, where she could see the gate of the palace. She was alarmed when she saw a person wearing black at the gate while hiding, but she still saw half of that person’s body that seemed to be watching. She knew that person was looking for her, so she immediately went out.

Meanwhile, Dylan was unable to react to Adira’s sudden departure from the room. Adira ran quickly, which was noticed by the soldiers, so they also followed her.

“Who is that person?” she asked herself. She was getting closer to the gate, but when she got there, she couldn’t catch up with the person wearing black, whose whole body could barely be seen. She looked outside, but there were only a few people there, and the one wearing black was gone. “Why so quick to leave?”

Meanwhile, even General Agustin has gone out because his soldiers left the place where they were on guard.

He approached Adira.  “Young lady, what’s going on, and you’re here?”

“There is a suspicious person here outside the palace gate. That person is dressed in black and seems to be watching right here inside the palace.”

“Are you sure about that?”

She turned and looked at the general with a frown. “I can’t make a mistake, general. My eyes are clear when something like this happens.”

“It’s surprising. Why didn’t my soldiers see it?” General Agustin turned to some soldiers who were with them. “Where are the soldiers guarding here outside the palace?”

“I’m sorry, but it happened that the two soldiers left the gate because it was time to replace them, and when the young lady saw a suspicious person outside the palace. The two replacement soldiers have not arrived yet.”

There was anger on the general’s face. “Before the guard soldier left, they should have waited for their replacement. By what they did, maybe that mysterious person got in by chance! ” General Agustin has a strong word.

She saw that the soldiers bowed their heads. “That’s enough, general. I’m sorry, but it’s good that your soldiers keep watching outside for 24 hours straight so that people can enter the palace. It looks like it’s going to be worse in the next few days because, in the last letter, I read from the king.”
