The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

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 mean?”

“I didn’t know that the kings have an agreement that when a king of the palace gets sick, someone needs to take his place, but what hurts here is that I will not be the one to take my father’s place.”

Prince Damon’s eyebrows met while he was staring in another direction. “You should take over because you are the son and heir of your palace.”

Prince Dylan looked at Prince Damon with sad eyes. “Just like you, they also judged what I can do if I happen to take over as king of our palace. They said I can’t lead Stalwart Castle because I’m weak and cowardly in battle.”

Prince Damon’s eyes averted Prince Dylan’s. “But was that treaty written and signed by other kings?”

“I don’t know if there is, but they have decided that I will not sit as king, and they will choose a temporary replacement for my father.”

“What do you mean? One of the kings of another palace will sit on your father’s throne.”

Prince Dylan nodded. “Yes.”

“Why did you allow that to happen? You didn’t even defend yourself about what they were telling you.”

“There’s nothing I can do if they have an agreement, and your father also said that I should just let it go because it’s only temporary.”

“They came here with my father?”

“Yes.”

Prince Damon just kept quiet, and while neither of them spoke, Adira just watched Prince Damon himself.

“What’s the matter, there was a little bit of worry on his face earlier about what the kings talked about?” Her eyes squinted. “He must be happy with what is happening to Dylan now because he is also one of the people who makes Dylan look like he is weak.”

She was about to fix her suit, but she remembered that her hand was holding a cup that almost dropped. She closed her eyes because she almost touched the mouth of the cup with something strange, like oil. She hid it behind her again.

She was a little surprised when the bedroom door opened because she was right next to it. The eyes of the person who came in widened because it was General Agustin. It’s a good thing he turned to the two princes; otherwise, he would have called her by her name.

Prince Dylan turned around. “General, why are you here?” he asked.

The general bowed. “Your father’s doctor is here.”

“Is that so? Let him in.”

General Agustin went out again for a while and then went back to the room with the doctor.

“Good morning,” the doctor greets.

Prince Dylan bowed his head slightly and went to the side of the small table with Prince Damon. They just waited for the doctor to finish what he was doing before Prince Dylan asked, “Has there been a change in my father’s condition?”

The doctor sighed. “I’m sorry, dear prince. I still don’t know what the king’s illness is.”

There was a flash of anger on Prince Dylan’s face. “W-why is it taking so long to find out what his illness is, and until now he hasn’t woken up yet?” There was a little tear in his eye.

The doctor bowed. “I’m sorry, dear prince, but we won’t know what the king’s illness is until he’s here in the palace.”

“Then why don’t you take King Stephen to the hospital, if that is the only way to find out his true illness?” Prince Damon suddenly said, still folding his arms.

“King Stephen’s request is to never take him to the hospital to recover because the enemy or other palaces might find out about his condition. He also wants to protect his son, Prince Dylan, but now that other royals know the king’s situation. I’m going to break his order; he needs to be taken to the hospital right now.”

While Prince Damon folded his arms, he just stared at the doctor, but the expression on his face was unreadable.

Adira was alerted to what the doctor said. It would be good if she didn’t see the strange cup and if King Stephen could have taken it to the hospital.

She approached the general and went behind him. “General, do not allow the king to be taken to the hospital,” she whispered.

General Agustin turned slightly, with a look of wonder on his face. “Why, for what reason should I follow you?”

“I found something that I need to check before you take the King to the hospital. It will be in more trouble if it’s time to take King Stephen to the hospital.”

“I’m not the one to decide that, the prince should talk about that, but you can’t just show up.”

She turned to Dylan. He was just looking at the doctor; she was also restless, so she told him her plan. “Interrupt their conversation with a pretense of secrecy, general. Tell them that before the king is taken to the hospital, Prince Dylan needs to read a letter,” she whispered, while the two princes had not yet noticed us.

“There is no letter for the prince to read. What if he looks for it right away?”

“I’ll take care of that; just say it and find a way.”

Prince Dylan sighed and was about to speak about the need to take the king to the hospital, but instead of being taken, the general spoke immediately.

“Prince Dylan!”

Prince Dylan turned to the general. “What is that, general?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

General Agustin swallowed before speaking. “I don’t think King Stephen should be in the hospital for now.”

Prince Dylan frowned and faced Adira’s place. “What are you talking about, general? Father needs to be taken there to find out how sick he is.”

“I know that, dear prince, but there is a letter you should read before you make a decision.”

“Letter?” said Prince Dylan, confused. Even Prince Damon and the doctor were wondering what General Agustin said.

“Yes, but first I need to find it again because I forgot where I put it.”

The doctor spoke. “As soon as possible, dear prince, the king also needs to be taken to the hospital.”

Prince Dylan sighed and looked at General Agustin again. “I understand that my father needs to be taken to the hospital, but for now I need to read the letter first and find out what it contains.”

Adira’s nervousness subsided when the prince chose to first read the letter that was not there.

“Is that what you want, dear prince? Just call me again in case you agree, but don’t let it last a few more days.” He bowed and said goodbye. “I will leave.”

The doctor eventually left, and the four of them were left standing, but Prince Damon seemed to be looking for something.

“Why isn’t the young lady here?”

Prince Dylan looked at him seriously. “The young lady has left.”

“Leave; where did she go?”

“She has returned to her place and will never come back here to Stalwart Castle.” Prince Dylan took a few steps. “Your time to visit my father is over. You can leave.” Prince Damon nodded once, and Prince Dylan was the first to leave the room.

Prince Damon approached General Agustin. “General, is it correct that I heard from Prince Dylan that the young lady will not return to the palace of Stalwart Castle?”

General Agustin secretly looked to the side where Adira was standing. “That’s right, Prince Damon. The young lady has not been here from the palace for almost a month.”

“Really? That’s why it’s refreshing to be around Prince Dylan, especially because the young lady is no longer here.”

The general just smiled slightly. “Let’s go out.” General Agustin came out first, and Prince Damon was about to follow when he turned to Adira and stared into her eyes.

Her eyes widened slightly because she didn’t expect him to look at her, and his eyes were staring right into hers. He removed his gaze from her eyes, but he looked at her from head to toe and stared at her again. He tilted his head to the left, then immediately left the room.
