Passed Out
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 Adira’s place, the black-clad man came out and followed the running Prince Franco with his eyes.
The mysterious man has arrows on his back. A few moments later, he also left when Prince Franco disappeared from his sight.
Meanwhile, Adira was taken in Prince Dylan’s car so that she could quickly and comfortably lie down in the back seat of the car on the way back to the palace. When the soldier fixed Adira’s lying down, it looked like Prince Dylan was going to remove the thing from her head.
“Wait a minute!” Prince Franco stopped him as he approached Prince Dylan’s car.
“Why?”
“Don’t try to remove what’s on her head because there might be a wound or she’s stuck and she’s unconscious. A doctor should do it on her,” Prince Franco lied.
Prince Dylan looked at Adira before completely moving his hand away from her head. Prince Franco turned to Princess Francesca. “On the horse, you are going to ride, Francesca; we are not going to the palace of Stalwart Castle now.”
“But-” What the princess was about to say was interrupted when her brother looked at her seriously, so she just bowed.
Prince Franco looked back at Prince Dylan. “You can leave now to see why she passed out.” He looked Prince Dylan in the eye. “I’m just reminding you again not to let her thing go to her head so it doesn’t lead to a worse situation, Prince Dylan.” Prince Dylan just nodded and got in the car. He sat on the passenger side, and the car left immediately. The soldiers also followed while the horse that Adira rode earlier was able to support a soldier while holding its leash.
Prince Franco sighed. “Come on, Francesca, maybe we’ll spend the night on the way.”
Princess Francesca did not immediately follow her brother because her eyes were in the direction where Prince Dylan’s car was passing.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Francesca!” Prince Franco called out with emphasis. The princess immediately turned around and followed her brother.
Meanwhile, while Prince Dylan was taking the road home, he looked around at the back of the car, where Adira was. In his mind, “The thing on her head is dangerous because she might not be able to breathe, but I’m also thinking twice about removing it because it’s coming to my mind that it can’t be because of what Prince Franco said.” He just went back to looking ahead and just waited for them to get back to the palace right away.
As soon as the car entered the gate, the prince immediately got out of the car and opened the back door; fortunately, General Agustin came out of the palace and immediately approached Prince Dylan.
“What happened?” said the general in confusion.
“The new soldier, general, she suddenly lost consciousness when she saved the princess and me.”
General Agustin frowned. “Saved?”
“Yes, there is an arrow that is supposed to go to the two of us from the princess, and I don’t know which one of us will be hit, but fortunately this soldier managed to find a way.”
“The soldier will take care of her, and you can enter the palace. I will only look at her while the doctor determines why she lost consciousness.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Prince Dylan turned back to the lying Adira before entering the palace.
General Agustin immediately approached the car and took a good look at the thing Adira was wearing on her head. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Adira was still wearing it, even though it was dangerous in its current state.
“Pick him up and take her to the maids’ room. We can’t take her to her room first because it’s too early and Prince Dylan might see her.”
The two soldiers followed and carried Adira to the servants’ room. Before the soldier could enter there, they informed the servant that the room would be used for a while and no one would be allowed to enter.
General Agustin called the doctor to check on Adira; fortunately, it was also the day of the king’s checkup. A few moments later, General Agustin was with the doctor in the room where Adira was.
The doctor frowned when he saw that Adira was still wearing the thing on her head. “You said she passed out, but why didn’t you at least remove the thing on her head?”
“I know it’s dangerous, but there’s a reason why, and maybe she has an injury to her head that can’t be moved; that’s why I called you here.”
The doctor approached and slowly removed the thing from Adira’s head as well as the black dress around her neck. The doctor carefully examined Adira’s head as well as her eyes and heartbeat.
“The reason she lost consciousness was that her heart was beating too fast, so all her veins supplied a rapid flow of blood and it resulted like this; I’m sure something happened so her body gave out.”
The general thought about what Prince Dylan was saying about her saving them. He also didn’t know why Adira felt so scared when she was so brave and had no fear of a fight.
“And one more thing, remove the thin iron from her body first so it won’t add to the weight of her chest. She will have more difficulty breathing. My advice is for her to rest first and not do any physical activities. because it might be worse next time.”
“If that’s what needs to be done, it will be done.”
“I will leave you and go to the king.” The general just nodded and had Adira guarded by a soldier.
Meanwhile, Prince Dylan did not go to his room but to Adira’s room. As soon as he entered the room, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
As the general went to Adira’s room, he wondered why the bedroom door was slightly open. He slowly approached and peeked, and was slightly surprised to see Prince Dylan inside, his eyes closed on Adira’s bed, looking peaceful.
The general sighed. “How will it be safe for the young lady to hide in this room if the prince is always here? She will not be able to get rid of the fact that every time he remembers the young lady or he is tired, he comes here.” General Agustin frowned. “Where can I hide Adira now?”
The general decided to let Prince Dylan stay in Adira’s room first, and then he would move Adira there when the prince left later.
Meanwhile, the general went to the king’s room. He saw that the doctor was starting to examine King Stephen, but the king remained asleep while the doctor was doing that.
After the doctor checked King Stephen’s condition, he moved away a little, and you could see the surprise on his face.
General Agustin approached. “Is there a problem?”
“I just noticed why the king is not doing well.”
“What do you mean?”
“You know that as much as possible, I am here every day for his treatment, but why is there no change?”
General Agustin looked at King Stephen. “Does that mean the king’s illness is really bad?”
“I can’t say right now because I can’t determine why his body hasn’t recovered until now.”
“You can’t tell?”
“Yes, and it looks like he needs to be taken to the hospital for something I can’t tell, but the king can’t leave the palace.”
The general was surprised at what the doctor said. “Why can’t that be the only way to determine the reason why the king’s body has not returned to its original state?”
“Because this is a big problem in other palaces. King Stephen also begged me not to take him to the hospital even though he is in a bad condition.”
General Agustin looked at the doctor in disbelief. “But if the cure can only be found there, why don’t we do it? His health is more important than any other palace.”
The doctor shook his head. “I’m sorry, general, but I will only obey the king and no one else. Even if I like what you say, I will not do it until there is an order from him. I’m leaving you here.” The doctor took the bag and looked inside before completely leaving the room, and General Agustin was left stunned by the absence.
