19. Prince Franco
Meanwhile, General Agustin, who had been watching earlier, was seriously looking at Adira now.
“She’s good even with her eyes blindfolded, but it’s also amazing because she’s good at using her senses and how she can block Prince Dylan’s every move.” He also saw what the prince did. “And I think someone’s already fallen for her. I won’t say his name, but he is a prince,” General Agustin said to himself and walked away.
While Adira was fixing her hair, Prince Dylan spoke.
“You have to keep your promise.”
“Promise?”
Dylan’s eyes widened as he looked at her. “You said earlier that I can make requests as long as I obey you.”
“You didn’t injure me.”
“What? You said that, so no turning back.”
She just sighed. “What is your request?”
Dylan had a suppressed smile. “Tomorrow you won’t be wearing those kinds of clothes.”
She was surprised and frowned. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing today?”
“You see our servants here in the palace? That’s what you can wear.”
“That’s your request?”
“Yes.”
“Please change it. I don’t want your request.” She took a few steps to pick up the piece of cloth that was on the ground.
“Why don’t you?” It’s like a child whining while Dylan says that.
Her eyebrows almost met with what the prince did. “You look like a toddler there. What difference does it make if I’m wearing clothes like this?”
“Princes are there, so you better dress as we do.”
“Where can I get ordinary cloth? I don’t want to wear a queen’s clothes because it’s too distracting.”
Dylan smiled. “Don’t worry, there are clothes reserved for you.”
Her eyes narrowed at him. “I feel like everything that happened today is in your favor, and I’m sure that even if no request was discussed, you would still force me to wear a different outfit.”
Dylan pretended to cough and looked away from her. “I have one word. I will follow you for now, but just make sure the clothes you give me are decent.”
He nodded, and Dylan’s face also showed satisfaction, even though he wasn’t smiling. “Our training is over now, so we can enter the palace.” She approached him and handed him the cloth.
While her hand holding the cloth was raised in the air, Dylan still didn’t take it because he was busy staring at her, and it seemed that his eyes had passed over her entire face. “Aren’t you going to take this cloth? For you to go inside the palace. ”
“Can you smile, young lady?”
She was stunned by what he said. “Why?”
“Alright, even if it’s just a little, as long as you smile.”
Even though she was confused, she smiled, but he didn’t seem to like it. “It’s not like that; it’s like you’re just being forced.”
She looked at him evilly, but later she also smiled genuinely, but just a little. “Is that okay? You have a lot of requests.”
“Okay, I’ll go inside first.”
Prince Dylan turned his back on Adira, but the smile that Dylan had been suppressing for a while now was released. His smile is now ear-to-ear, and his even teeth can be seen as he walks away from Adira. Adira, meanwhile, can’t see the prince’s face because she can only see Dylan’s back.
While Adira was still looking at Prince Dylan. “The prince is crazy. The longer I stay here, the weirder he is, and I don’t know why. ” She just put the sword in the armory and quickly entered the palace. Go to her room to fix her hair and braid it.
Meanwhile, Prince Dylan was in his room, hugging his pillow.
“Dylan, what were you talking about earlier?” He hugged the pillow tightly, and if it happened to be a person he was hugging, he would not be able to breathe. “Why is the young lady still beautiful even though her face is always angry?” He remembered what he had done to Adira earlier, so he hugged the pillow tightly again.
He took a deep breath. “You can’t, Prince Dylan. You need to put what happened out of your mind and act as if nothing happened.” But he just laid down and put the pillow over his face.
Meanwhile, outside the palace, a long white car was about to enter, and when it finally entered the palace grounds, it stopped right in front of it. The two couples came out. They are the queen and king of Paradise Castle.
General Agustin came out to greet Queen Alice and King Felip. “Good morning, King Felip and Queen Alice.”
“Good morning to you too, general. Where is King Stephen? Why didn’t he greet us here first?” Queen Alice said.
“I’m sorry, but it’s been hard for him to walk for a long time now, so he ordered me to meet you first today.”
The queen of Paradise Castle seemed worried. “Is the king of Stalwart Castle sick?”
General Agustin smiled a little. “His reason is old age, so the bones are weakening.”
King Felip smiled. “After all, our age is not going backward, so our body is also losing strength, so I understand King Stephen.”
“You’re right, King Felip, but we can now go inside.”
“By the way, is Prince Dylan here today?” asked Queen Alice.
“Is in his room, Queen Alice. Do you want to see him?”
“We will greet King Stephen first. If there is a chance, we can also talk to the prince.”
“That could be Queen Alice. For now, follow me, and I will take you to King Stephen’s office.” Queen Alice and King Felip followed General Agustin.
Meanwhile, while they were going to General Agustin, where King Stephen was, Adira came out of her room and went out again to the back of the palace.
“Where is it now?” She was just looking at the ground because she was looking for her broken hair tie. She knows that the tie is broken, but she’s been using that thing for years, from childhood until now. If she couldn’t use it anymore, she would just put it in a safe box, but she’s been looking for a while, and there’s no broken tie on the ground.
While she was looking for her hair tie, she noticed a human body in the weapons pouch. That person turned back to her, and, based on her suspicions, he was a man. “Who is that person facing the weapons again? It’s another unknown person like Prince Damon, who just showed up here.”
She quietly approached the man, who still had his back turned and had stopped five steps. “Who are you?”
The man slowly faced her. He just stared into her eyes and seemed surprised because of his frown. “I repeat, who are you?” she says emphatically. But he still didn’t speak and just stared at her. Based on what he’s wearing, it’s just ordinary like the maids or servants wear here in the palace.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Don’t you have any intention of talking? Why did you end up here, especially in the armory of this palace?”
He looked away from her and faced the other direction. “Sorry, but I was so consumed by curiosity that I stumbled upon it.”
“How did you get in?”
He looked at her again. “Doesn’t this palace have a gate? That’s all I used to get in.” He seemed surprised by the question.
She closed her eyes, but she didn’t let her annoyance come out in his answer. “I mean, how did you get in here when the soldiers outside are so closely guarded?”
“The soldier just let us in here.”
“Who are you? Do the soldiers of Stalwart Castle know you?”
“That’s it.”
She looked at him from head to toe. Her forehead was so wrinkled that she still couldn’t figure out why the soldiers let him in. He is also not a servant here in the palace. “But-” she couldn’t finish what she was going to say when someone called me.
“Adira!”
The man looked at her. “Your name is Adira, a young lady. It’s a beautiful name that suits you. ” And the man she was talking to smiled at her. She was stunned for a moment by his smile but also turned to the person calling her name, and it turned out to be Dylan.
“Adira, haven’t you entered the palace yet? Why are you still here?” Dylan noticed the man next to her now. “Prince Franco?” Dylan said it in surprise.
She quickly turned to the person next to her. “Prince?”
“Yes, he is a prince. The prince of Paradise Castle, Prince Franco,” Dylan answered.
She looked from head to toe at the prince next to her. “That’s why I’m wondering about what he’s wearing because it seems elegant and suitable for him, even if it’s just ordinary clothes. He’s a prince, and he’s also the one telling General Agustin about the prince who wears ordinary clothes. The general was right. Those who see him will think and ask if he is a servant or not,” she said in her mind.
“What is the prince of Paradise Castle doing here in our palace?” asked Dylan.
“My father and mother are here to greet King Stephen. I’m with them to go here, but I didn’t go inside.”
Dylan nodded. “But why are you together?” asked Dylan.
She looked at Dylan with a frown because the tone of his voice was filled with judgment. “I was just looking for something. That’s why I’m here again. I just saw him and talked to him because I thought he came in here without permission. ”
While Prince Franco listened to the two silently.
“Prince Franco, come and go inside. Maybe your mother is looking for you,” Dylan said.
Prince Franco agreed with Dylan and walked first because Dylan was looking at her badly now as if he wanted to convey something, but he couldn’t because he immediately followed Prince Franco.
“The prince of Paradise Castle seems to be kinder than the other two. Prince Damon, and, of course, Dylan. ” She just shook her head and looked for her hair tie again.
