The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

When a nurse came in, Adira and Prince Dylan stood up, moving slightly away from Simon to give the nurse space. But after a while, Adira decided to go out first. She said goodbye to Simon and left Prince Dylan inside.

When Adira came out of the hospital, she took the phone from her pants pocket, looked for a number, and called it.

“Hello, general.”

“Adira?”

“I am. How’s the king?”

“The king is fine, but he hasn’t walked outside yet, so he doesn’t know that Prince Dylan isn’t in the palace yet.”

She sighed. “General, why did you send the prince here to my country? His life will be in danger if he is here.”

“I’m sorry, Adira, but Prince Dylan insisted on coming. I didn’t want to let him come, but I saw that he wanted to. Maybe he wanted to see something new or different in your country.”

In her mind, “Dylan once again used the mercy that went against the general.” She just shook her head. “I would have asked for permission to stay here for up to three days. My partner needs the guard at the hospital.”

General Agustin was a little worried. “What about the prince? He couldn’t have stayed there long.” Adira started having a headache.

“I told him to come back first, but he won’t listen to me. As long as I’m not with him, he won’t come back to Stalwart Castle either.”

“Sometimes the prince is stubborn.”

“What am I going to do with him? Am I going to force him to go back?”

General Agustin seemed to be thinking before answering her. “I think you’d better go with him when you come back here. Let him see the beauty of your country first. The king is not feeling well, so he can’t even leave the room. He’s just sending food inside his room.”

“Are you sure, General Agustin, that the king is okay?”

“All I can say is that he’s okay now because he’s eating and he doesn’t have any serious illnesses except for the flu. The king’s physician will be coming every day starting tomorrow, so I’m satisfied with that.”

“Then after three days, we will be there.” She put the phone down and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Prince Dylan also left Simon’s room while the nurse was still there. He said goodbye to Simon, so Prince Dylan left the room. He looked for Adira outside and saw her standing on a nearby chair with her eyes closed.

Prince Dylan slowly approached Adira. “Young lady, why are you still here?”

She immediately opened her eyes when someone spoke. “Why are you here? I told you not to leave Simon’s room first.” She frowned at him.

“I got permission, and he agreed. The nurse was still there.”

She sat in the chair because her knee was a little weak, and Dylan seemed to notice that. “Are you okay?” He also sat next to her.

“Maybe just tired.”

“Are you sure?”

Adira just nodded and looked at the sky. It was only a few seconds before Prince Dylan spoke again.

“I thought at first he was your father.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She looked at him, but he was looking at the sky too. “No. He’s the one to call every time a client wants my service on a mission.”

“Where are your parents?”

At Prince Dylan’s question, Adira’s eyes became sad as she looked at the ground.

“Gone.”

He frowned. “How come it’s gone?”

She sighed. “They were taken from us. They passed away a few years ago.”

Prince Dylan just stared at Adira, and he could see how sad her eyes were.

“I’m sorry, young lady, for my question.”

“It’s okay, you’re too curious, that’s why you asked.” She smirked slightly, and he looked annoyed.

“I’m serious about my question. Why do you look like that?”

“Because I don’t want drama. I once cried too much, and I don’t want that to happen again. I will only cry when I get the right answer to my questions that, until now, have not been clear whether there is an answer or not.”

They are both looking at the view in front of them. “That’s why you’re just acting like that. What caused your parents to pass away?”

She looked at Dylan before looking down. “Car accident.”

Prince Dylan nodded several times. “Don’t you have a brother or sister?”

“I have a sister.”

“Why didn’t I see her at your house?”

“We’re not together.”

“Why?”

Adira frowned as she looked at Prince Dylan, but eventually, she answered as well.

“We both have different attitudes, so we didn’t get along even though our parents were still alive. So since our parents died, I left our house and lived alone. I knew that he wouldn’t stop me, so I’d rather live alone without her, and that’s better for both of us than getting hurt every time she sees me.”

“But why did you become a gangster then?”

A minute of silence followed before Adira answered.

“Because of what happened to my parents. I want to be the one to find the culprit why my parents had an accident.” She clenched her fists. “Because the police couldn’t give me an answer back then and always said that maybe the car just lost its brakes. But even then, I got suspicious because, before my parents left, I saw my father checking the engine. It’s still a mystery to me, too, what happened.”

“Why don’t you leave it to the law to find out who the culprit is? If there is one.”

She laughed softly. “That will never happen, Dylan. I’ve been through it before, and I’m not going to do it again. I’ve tried to be strong and become a gangster to find the culprit, but so far I haven’t gotten any information about which I’m wondering.”

While Adira was looking at the front, Prince Dylan turned and stared at Adira’s face.

In Prince Dylan’s mind, “Her eyes are full of sadness even though she is showing me courage. I don’t often see her other expression because I’m sure she’s trying to hide it and not show weakness.”

“So you, Dylan, protect the person who is important to you now because when they are gone, the result will be suffering because you were not able to protect them.”

“But why are you taking this mission like mine?”

She secretly smiled. “It’s simple; I’m doing to them what I’ve never done to my parents before. People who have good hearts but are abused because of others’ behavior. I’m the one who finds a way to teach those people a lesson. I don’t hurt them like other gangsters, who only know how to hurt. Instead, my way is with words. I hurt them little by little with my words that are true and without pretense. I teach them a lesson that they will never forget because that’s the truth.”

“What if they have a weapon that will instantly injure you?”

. She grinned. “You forgot that I also have a weapon.”

“But yours is different from theirs. It’s easier to take your life.”

She looked into his eyes and smiled a little. “I can’t control my life, Dylan. I can take care of my life, but I can’t control how long my life I have right now.”

“Why don’t you just quit your job?”

She stopped and looked away. “I’m happy with what I’m doing now. I wasn’t even given justice by my parents. I’m doing it to other people.”

Prince Dylan was stunned by Adira’s words. He thought about his state in life compared to the life that Adira had. Their palace has many soldiers, and they can protect their palace with just one command.

Prince Dylan smiled slightly and thought in his mind, “Now I know why my father wants me to learn to fight, even though I was born a prince. I also have to protect the people of Stalwart Castle, even if they are soldiers. It’s better to work together than to wait for someone to help me.” He turned to Adira. “And Adira is right-no one is in charge of someone’s life if that is the end of them. Even if it is stopped, it is not possible because that is the limit of life that we have been lent since we were born in this world.”

Adira suddenly turned to Prince Dylan, which slightly surprised her because he was looking at her. “I called General Agustin.”

“What did you tell him?”

“I said that you should go home to your country first.”

“What was his answer?”

Her eyes squinted. “It’s better to go back to Stalwart Castle with me. Let you stay for now here and find out what you can discover in my country.” Prince Dylan secretly smiled.

Adira stood up and stretched. “Come on, let’s go back inside; maybe the nurse is done checking on Simon.”

Prince Dylan also stood up and walked ahead of Adira.

“I almost said something about the king,” she whispered as she walked behind Dylan.

Before Adira hung up the phone earlier, General Agustin told Prince Dylan not to tell him about King Stephen’s condition. What Prince Dylan knows is that King Stephen just has a cough, and the next day the king is fine, but it looks like King Stephen’s illness is more than the flu.
