The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

11. Adira’s Doubt



When the king was already where they were, he was concerned to see Prince Dylan struggling with his left leg.

“What happened?” asked the king, looking at Adira and Prince Damon.

“He lost his balance, so his left leg was sprained,” she said.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The king looked at Prince Dylan in wonder. “What did he do? All I know is that he came earlier and was resting. ”

Meanwhile, Adira had her arms folded as she listened to the king, but she stayed by Prince Dylan’s side.

So she looked at the prince in front of them, who was calm and seemed as if he hadn’t done anything wrong, so Dylan suffered a sprained leg. “I saw that he trained alone without me,” she suddenly said.

The king looked at her, confused. “Why would he do that?”

Her gaze shifted to Dylan, who was now just silent and holding his left leg. “I also don’t know why he practiced alone, because all I know is that he came here in the morning and was resting, but I was also surprised to see him outside in the palace with a sword in his hand.”

The king turned his gaze to Prince Dylan. “Dylan, why did you do that? What’s the meaning that I hired someone to teach you so you can avoid any danger?”

Dylan sighed as he tried to calm himself because of the pain he was feeling. “Sorry, Father, I just thought of trying to see if I could do it on my own and remembered what Adira taught me.”

“Next time, don’t train without Adira, is it clear, Prince Dylan?” Dylan just nodded.

The king looked at Prince Damon. “I’m sorry if you saw this kind of situation in our palace.”

He smiled and bowed slightly while his two hands were on his back. “Don’t worry, it’s fine with me.”

She frowned and decided to teach him a lesson.”Prince, why don’t you tell the truth about what happened between you and Prince Dylan?” My face was still calm and there was nothing to see, not even any emotion that the king could easily notice that she wanted to convey something.

He was slightly alarmed, but his breathing immediately calmed down. The king asked him. “What is Adira saying, Prince Damon?”

“I joined Prince Dylan’s in training, my dear king, and while we were practicing using the sword, he lost his balance.”

She just stared at the prince, who was so good at telling different stories that she was surprised that he couldn’t tell the truth and the whole story. “Perhaps, my dear king, he became so happy about using the sword that Prince Dylan lost his balance,” she said again while staring at Prince Damon. She will try to see if he is telling the truth because it is obvious from every word I say.

She saw him smile at her, but it was not true. “You didn’t see the whole incident, young lady. When you arrived, Prince Dylan was already sitting on the ground because he had lost his balance. ”

She raised an eyebrow when he said, “This prince is making it look like what I’m telling the king is wrong. What does he think I didn’t see them from the top of the palace earlier?”

While neither of them let go of their gaze, King Stephen spoke. “Adira, maybe you just saw it wrong. The two princes are friends, so Prince Damon can’t do that. ”

She took her eyes off Prince Damon and just looked at Prince Dylan’s feet. “I hope, dear king, he is telling the truth.”

“We’d better go inside and have a conversation with Prince Damon.” The king looked at General Agustin. “General, take care of the prince and call my physician.”

General Agustin moved immediately and slowly helped Prince Dylan not touch the sprained foot. “Follow us,” said King Stephen, and he walked first to the visitors’ area, followed by General Agustin and Prince Dylan. Prince Damon and Adira were left behind.

While she folded her arms and looked at Prince Damon, who was looking in another direction, she noticed his wounded hand with a cloth wrapped around it. He turned, and she was looking at his hand, which he immediately noticed. “Are you worried, young lady, about what you did to me? That’s why you checked at my hand like that.”

She raised her eyebrows at what he said and grinned. “I’m sorry, prince; if I’m going to be concerned, it’ll be for Prince Dylan, not for you.” And she looked at him seriously.

The smile on his lips disappeared. “Is what you’re saying true, young lady, or are you just pretending?”

“I am saying the truth. I’m not the one pretending here. It’s you, isn’t it?”

His peaceful aura disappeared slowly and was replaced by darkness. “Be careful what you say, young lady. I can do something and order an army to arrest you just because of the way you talk about me. You are just a low-class person with no power like me.”

She shook her head and approached him. “What power are you talking about, superpowers?” He didn’t answer.

From the playful aura, she gradually showed the appearance of a gangster. “Don’t scare me just because of your power. Remember that you are not in your palace now, so the power you say is invalid if your soldier is already in the other palace.” She turned her back on him and started walking, but she turned back, and he wondered again. “It turns out I forgot something because of the serious thing we are talking about.”

He frowned. “What’s that?”

“This, I forgot…” She reached for his wounded hand and pressed it, and he immediately moved away from her. “You heard what the king said? Let’s go in.” And she completely entered the palace as if nothing had been done by the prince’s hand.

Meanwhile, Prince Damon was forced not to scream because of the pain of his wound, which was aggravated by what Adira did.

“That young lady tricked me out.” Before going inside, he held his breath and waited for the pain to go away.

While Adira was walking towards where Dylan was, she grinned. “With the depth of his wound, I’m sure it will take a long time to heal. He’s too arrogant, so I have to do it. I’m the one he tried to scare. He hasn’t seen what a gangster like me can do. It’s just basic that, and I might just get a life now if my patient ran out.” She continued walking and saw Dylan sitting in the living room, but she wondered why he was there alone. She approached him and asked him. “Where are the king and General Agustin? Why are you the only one here?”

He raised his head and looked at her. “General Agustin left, and he went to the back of the palace to fetch the physician, while Father went to the kitchen to order the servants to prepare food.”

He closed his eyes. It looked like he was seriously injured. “Does it hurt?” she asked.

He looked at her badly. “You can see that I’m hurting. Why are you asking?”

She blinks her eyes several times. “Why are you angry? I’m just asking.”

“It hurts!”

“I can’t see if you’re hurt.” He gave her an angry look. She just sat next to him. “Dylan, is that prince your friend?”

Dylan’s forehead is slowly frowning. “What did you say?”

“I said, are you friends with that prince?”

“You forgot something, especially with my name.”

“What?”

He snorted and folded his arms. “There should be a prince in my name.”

“Can’t it just be Dylan?”

He quickly faced her and accidentally moved his sprained leg. He closed his eyes and opened them, and he looked at her. “Why do you call Prince Damon a prince? Why is me Dylan only? ”

“Does it matter if there isn’t?”

“There is!”

She covered her ears at the loudness of his voice. “What are you fighting for?” She also has to shout.

“There must always be a prince or majesty whenever you talk to me.”

Her forehead was wrinkled, and she fixed her hair even though it was okay. “What do you want to be called, dear prince?”

Dylan tried not to smile. “It can be, dear prince, if that’s what you want.”

She just shook her head. “It’s just your foot that got injured, but why is your brain also affected?”

He looked into her eyes with anger. While she was just calm, King Stephen suddenly appeared. “Why are you the only one here? Where is Prince Damon?”

King Stephen was asking for them when Prince Damon arrived. “I’m here, dear king.”

“It’s better that we eat. I know you’re hungry because of the distance you traveled to get here. Follow me. ” King Stephen stopped and looked at his son’s feet. “What about Prince Dylan, the general who isn’t here yet?”

“I will be the only one to support him, dear king,” Prince Damon offered.

Prince Dylan just adjusted his seat. “You eat first, Father. I will come later. Adira will join me here while we wait for General Agustin to return.”

“It’s not possible, Prince Dylan. You have to eat with us.”

“I don’t think Prince Damon will be able to help me because he looks like he has a hand injury.”

The king looked at Prince Damon’s hand, which he did not immediately hide. The king frowned. “I didn’t notice that you had a wound when you came here.”

He smiled at the king. “It’s hidden by the clothes I’m wearing, my dear king. I’m wearing a stretchy one, so while my left hand is attached, it’s hidden.”

King Stephen nodded. “Is your wound okay? You can treat it with my physician when he is here.”

“My wound is only small, so it is not necessary.”

“Then let’s just wait for General Agustin before we eat, but before that, let’s talk for a while in my office.” Prince Damon agreed and walked with King Stephen, but before they were out of sight, he turned to see where Adira was. He didn’t react while looking at them, but Adira just stared at him.

When Prince Damon disappeared from their sight, Adira asked.

“Answer my question: is Prince Damon your friend?”

He sighed. “Only the two kings are friends. I rarely talk to Prince Damon.”

She frowned. “Why does he seem to have a grudge against you? If I don’t come, even if he tries to stop his sword, I’m sure you will be injured because of his too-fast motion.”

“I don’t even know why, because sometimes I’m just quiet when there’s a meeting or gathering in our palaces. I also wonder about him sometimes.”

She looked at her left side and was stunned. “Then there’s a possibility that he’s the one sending the letter to the king because of the way he treated Dylan, but I can’t say right now if it’s him because we just met for the first time. I think next time, he’s the one I have to watch out for whenever he’s around. I also feel something different from that prince.”

Dylan was curious why the person next to him suddenly became silent. He turned around and saw that she was just dumbfounded with a frown on her face. In his mind, “What else is she thinking as her forehead is wrinkled again?” He didn’t make any noise or call Adira. He looked at the half of Adira’s face that was still visible. “Her eyelashes are long, her eyebrows are thin but well-groomed, and her face is also smooth, but the color of her hair and eyes is also striking, which is a natural brown color.” Adira suddenly turned to face him, but he still didn’t budge from the stare.

She frowned even more and slowly approached the prince’s face. “If you stare, dear prince, it’s like you’re melting me with your eyes.” He came to his senses and turned his gaze directly to hers. That’s why their faces were so far apart.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, but Prince Dylan was the first to let go, and he was holding his left chest.

Adira turned her gaze to the approaching two people, General Agustin, and a doctor. They saw them and immediately approached them.

The general suddenly approached Prince Dylan worriedly. “Dear Prince, are you having trouble breathing?”

She turned around and saw that Dylan was holding his left chest and that his breathing was getting heavy.

“I’m fine; don’t worry,” he said, looking at her.

“Your father’s physician is here.”

The doctor immediately kneeled and examined Dylan’s foot. “His foot is already swollen. I think he didn’t step well, so it swelled up immediately. It took a week or two before it went back to normal.”

“Does he still need to be taken to the hospital?” asked the general.

“No, I can apply for the medicine. Just take him to his room and I’ll treat him there. He can’t move his leg first, so he should stay in bed and rest.”

The general turned his gaze to Dylan. “I have to pick you up, Prince Dylan.”

“Can you still carry me?” The general smiled. “My skin is wrinkled, but I’m stronger than you.”

The prince shook his head and smiled as General Agustin picked him up. Adira and the doctor also followed.
