True Princess
“What are you talking about, King Felip? I never thought of harming your princess before.”
King Felip first looked at Princess Francesca. “I know everything you did before, Cyrus. You also sent to find my princess to kill her even when she was a baby because you felt that when the time came for the children to reach the age when they would marry and Stalwart Castle would grow strong.”
King Cyrus just stared at King Felip in silence. “You killed two people because of your greed, Cyrus, so he left behind a child who is still crying.” He looked at the soldiers of King Cyrus. “You still have a chance to order your soldiers to put down their swords if you want to live.”
King Cyrus laughed loudly as he looked at King Felip. “How did you find out about the things I’ve been doing in secret?”
“To me.”
King Cyrus frowned when a familiar voice spoke, but he was even more surprised to see his face. “P-prince Damon-my son.”
“Good evening, Father.”
King Cyrus was confused by what was happening. “You’re the culprit. Why did they find out about my plan?” King Cyrus angrily accused.
Prince Damon raised his eyebrows. “I only helped them because you weren’t a good father to me and a good husband to my mother.”
“Think about what you’re saying, Damon; I’m your father, so you should be on my side!”
Prince Damon grinned. “Tell me if you did a good job of being a father to me, not just a king of the palace, and then being a wife to a mother who cries every day because the past is more important to you than the present.”
Tears welled up in King Cyrus’ eyes. “You will also know what I feel, Damon if you experience it!”
“I don’t want to know, Father; I don’t want to be like you, who couldn’t accept what happened before, so you are taking revenge now. You have a child and a queen, but you still chose to do bad things just because of your previous love!”
King Cyrus’s teeth gritted, but sadness was evident in his eyes.
Meanwhile, everyone was quiet when suddenly a car stopped near where Prince Dylan was standing. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the car; the surroundings slowed down even the opening of the door was also slow.
The most surprised of all the people there was King Cyrus because the person who got off the car was his queen.
It walked and stopped right in front of King Cyrus. “It’s getting late, my king; come with me back to our palace,” she said calmly.
King Cyrus was just staring at his queen when his tears started pouring down because his wife was just smiling at him as if there was no anger, even though the two of them did not have a good relationship when they were first married.
King Cyrus fell to his knees while crying, while his queen also had a slight edge to her tears but kept smiling.
“Forgive me; I know you’ve held a grudge against me for the few years we’ve been together.”
The queen smiled. “Like you, I stayed with you because of love, so I understand how you feel, but maybe it’s time for you to free yourself from the love that’s not really for you. Suffer for everything you’ve done to everyone-to Prince Dylan, to King Stephen, to our son-” It stopped for a moment. “Also to me, Cyrus.”
King Cyrus stood while slightly smiling at his queen. “I will lock myself in our palace and pay for what I did.” He looked at Prince Dylan. “Forgive me for what I’ve done, I know you won’t forgive me right away because of your father, but I hope one day you’ll give me a chance.”
The queen nodded to her king’s soldiers. They followed and captured King Cyrus away from them.
The queen turned to Prince Dylan. “I’m happy to see you again, Prince Dylan. I just didn’t expect that we would meet in this scene,” she smiled slightly before turning his eyes to his son, Prince Damon. “It’s time for you to return to the palace, my son. Your mission here is over.”
Prince Damon nodded and turned to Prince Dylan. “I told you, Prince Dylan. The only person you should trust is yourself. Until our next conversation, for now, I’m sorry.”
Prince Damon joined his mother and left completely, while Prince Dylan was just stunned when King Felip spoke.
“Prince Dylan, go back inside your palace, but before that, I want to see one person.”
Prince Dylan frowned and looked at the king. “Who?”
“Her name is Adira.”
King Felip turned to the back where Adira and General Agustin were, as well as the princess, but Prince Dylan was also surprised when he mentioned the young lady’s name.
“A-adira?”
Meanwhile, Adira has yet to see who Prince Dylan’s companions are now, but she thinks that there won’t be a war because there aren’t many people.
She noticed that Prince Dylan was close to her, but her forehead gradually frowned when she saw a woman.
“Sabrina?”
General Agustin and Prince Dylan are in trouble. Except for King Felip and Prince Franco.
Prince Franco smiled at Adira. “It’s time for you to come home to us.”
She frowned at what the prince of Paradise Castle said. “What are you saying? Why should I go home with you?”
King Felip suddenly spoke. “I think Prince Franco, we’ll talk to her tomorrow because we also need to sleep.” King Felip’s gaze shifted to Adira. “Tomorrow at noon, Prince Franco will pick you up. We have something important to discuss.”
“Wait a minute! Why are you with Sabrina?”
“Who are you talking about, Adira? There is only one young lady with them, and that is Princess Francesca,” said Prince Dylan.
“No, her name is Sabrina and not Francesca; she is my sister from our country.”
King Felip took a step back. “I’m sorry, but we’ll talk about that tomorrow, young lady Adira, for now, we have to go.”
Prince Franco has already pulled Princess Francesca, or is it correct to say, Sabrina? She turned and stared into Adira’s eyes before completely leaving the palace of Stalwart Castle.
Meanwhile, a soldier is rushing toward them. “General, dear prince, the king.”
Prince Dylan was alarmed. “What happened?!”
“He’s awake.”
Prince Dylan ran to King Stephen’s room, as did General Agustin, but Adira remained where she was. She noticed that the prince didn’t look at her either, and thought that maybe he was really mad at her.
She smiled and looked at the sky. “My few nights of continuing to inject the cure into King’s body through leaf juice were a success. My mission here is over, so I can go back to-,” She stopped as she remembered Sabrina and what King Felip had said. “What is the king of Paradise Castle saying, and what else is Sabrina doing here, from what I heard earlier, she is the princess?” She was confused while frowning. But she decided to go to the room to find out the truth tomorrow because it’s still a big puzzle if Sabrina is her sister or if her sister has another family.
When Adira immediately entered the room while staring at the ceiling, sleepiness came over her. She didn’t know that Prince Dylan was outside her room and was about to knock, but he didn’t continue and just left.
King Stephen finally woke up and was able to move his fingers, but his body was still weak.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
The next day, several knocks woke Adira up. She got up and looked at the lock on the locked door. She walked to open the door, and the person she saw was General Agustin.
“Get ready, young lady. I’ll give you a few minutes to get ready, Prince Franco will be here to pick you up.”
Still sleepy, she nodded to the general and closed the door. She went into the bathroom and washed and brushed her teeth, the only thing she changed was her clothes before leaving the room.
When she left the palace, she saw Prince Franco standing next to the car, but she stopped when she noticed something new in his aura. She looked at him from head to toe, and it was true that there was something different about him because he wasn’t wearing ordinary cloth anymore like a servant; now he was wearing something like what Dylan was wearing.
He smiled when he saw her and came closer. “We have to go.”
Even though it was surprising, she just quietly got into the car next to him inside.
While the car was leaving the palace, Prince Dylan peeked out from the top of the palace.
They traveled for two hours before arriving at Paradise Castle.
“What are you going to say, and I still have to be picked up? Is it because of my sister Sabrina?” she asks.
He smiled a little while staring at her. “You will know everything when we get inside the palace. All your questions will be answered today, but please listen carefully. By the way, I am happy to see you again; the last time was when I visited your room.” He walked ahead while looking at him in disbelief.
She followed Prince Franco inside and was stopped in the middle because King Felip, Queen Alice, and Sabrina were in front of her near the thrones.
Adira looked at Sabrina, but she just looked away, which made me frown. She looked at Queen Alice and King Felip, but Queen Alice just stared at her.
“Excuse me, but what should we talk about?” she started to say.
King Felip sighed and began to speak. “I know you’re confused as to why your sister is here, but we just can’t wait to tell you the truth.”
“Which?”
King Felip first looked at Queen Alice. “Can you take off your gloves?” She frowned and did not follow his order. “It’s just a small matter, young lady, so please follow me,” King Felip calmly said.
She didn’t do anything; she even removed her gloves. “Show us the back of your palm.” She immediately faced them with the back of her palm, but her forehead was wrinkled when Queen Alice started to cry, and even King Felip’s tears were also on her side.
“What’s going on with them?”
“It cannot be denied; you are indeed our true daughter, the only princess of Stalwart Castle.”
Her eyes widened slightly as she frowned at what the king said. “What are you saying?”
“I know you’re confused, but you’re a princess, and you’re also our lost child.”
She laughed softly. “That’s impossible, I have parents, but they are no longer in this world. Why don’t you ask my sister, who is with you now?”
“Your parents are not your true blood relatives. Your mother, Queen Alice, thought your sister was the princess because of the necklace she took from you when you were young.”
She angrily looked at her sister, who was now bowing to the king and queen; Prince Franco was just sitting quietly on the side.
