Fight Between King Felip and Adira
When Adira finished washing her face, she immediately sat down in front of the table and ate while staring at her bed. She was still wondering how the general could do that.
An hour passed, and Adira was ready. She left the room and continued down the stairs. She stopped for a moment near the door leading out of the palace.
“Where else is the prince going? Why would he leave if the prince of Valiant Castle is here? I still have strong doubts about that prince.” She turned aside because Dylan was already outside the palace. It just looked straight, and when it was opposite the car door, it stopped and looked at her.
“Soldier, come. Come to me,” he called her calmly.
Curious, she came closer, but not too close to him. Dylan looked her in the eye before speaking.
“You will be my companion in the car. Other soldiers will use a horse, but you will be with me in our car.”
She frowned at what he said because why did he say she was in the car to ride? As far as she knows, only General Agustin can ride in a car with the prince and the king. She shook her head while staring at him.
“Don’t be surprised, soldier. I told Prince Dylan that you are the one I trust out of all the soldiers here, so you can take my place and get in the car,” General Agustin suddenly said behind Adira.
She turned to the general and slightly widened her eyes. “That’s my decision, so just follow,” was the general’s only reply.
“We’ve got to go. We’re both in the car, and we’re going to sit in the back. Come on.” Dylan got into the car, and she was still standing outside.
General Agustin approached slightly behind her. “It would be better if he was with someone inside, Adira. You will also be in trouble if he is harmed; I will take care of Prince Damon here in the palace, and by the way, you are going to Paradise Castle,” he said weakly.
Her brow furrowed even more at the word “You will also be the one who will be in trouble if he gets hurt.” General Agustin meant something in those words. She just walked and got inside the car; it didn’t take long before it started and left.
They were quiet inside, and no voice could be heard. Dylan was just looking out the window while he was still restless next to her, and they were going to the princess’s palace again, so maybe this is how she feels.
“It’s not possible what you’re feeling, Adira. Why are you so stubborn?” She said it with an emphasis in her mind. She simply turned to him; luckily, the driver had a barrier between the seats so he couldn’t see her in the mirror.
She just stared at Dylan with a calm face, as if he looked happy to see the princess again. She slouched and leaned so that her clothes made a noise. Dylan seemed surprised when he turned to her, but she was only looking straight ahead. She didn’t turn around, so he just looked out the window again.
A few moments later, Adira and Prince Dylan were already outside Paradise Castle. When Prince Dylan got out of the car, Adira immediately got out and stood next to the soldiers.
Dylan looked at them and came closer. “You stay here outside. I’ll be inside for a while; you go to a place where the sun doesn’t shine and rest there.” The soldiers bowed, even Adira.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Prince Dylan entered the palace, and Adira was left outside the palace. Others sat on the sidelines to rest.
Meanwhile, Prince Dylan enters. He will meet King Felip, “Good morning, King Felip,” greeted the prince with his head slightly bowed.
“Good morning to you too. What made you come here?” asked King Felip in surprise.
Prince Dylan frowned. “Queen Alice called me to come here because they can no longer come to our palace. Don’t you know that, dear king?”
King Felip shook his head. “If my queen hadn’t informed me about your coming here, I might not be needed in the conversation between the two of you.”
“Don’t think about that, King Felip. Maybe Queen Alice didn’t tell about my coming here right away.”
The king smiled. “Don’t worry about what I said. Because I’m not sulking or anything. It’s not likely that you’re going to talk about something big, so I won’t be there. I also have something to do outside the palace, so just in case I can face you.” The king tapped Prince Dylan on the shoulder. “Just keep walking in and I’ll be out.”
King Felip left Prince Dylan, and after a while, he continued to walk inside. A servant met him immediately and told him to follow her to where the queen was.
Meanwhile, when King Felip left the palace, his eyes turned to the soldiers who were with Prince Dylan. The king’s gaze stopped at Adira, who folded her arms while looking into the distance.
King Felip came up behind Adira. “Can I ask you a favor?” said King Felip which surprised Adira.
She clutched her chest at the voice that spoke. She looked at him and was even more surprised that the king of Paradise Castle was behind her.
“Can you be my opponent using the sword?”
She frowned. “Why is he asking me? I’m Dylan’s soldier, not Paradise Castle’s,” she thought.
King Felip smiled. “You must be wondering why I asked you about that. The truth is that all my soldiers asked me for a favor about what I told you. I just wanted to train, but they all did not defeat me, and neither did I see what I wanted to see in someone.”
“He’s a strange king, but I can tell he’s a kind king because of the way he talks to a soldier. He’s just weird about the sword.” She was stunned because she had forgotten that this king in front of her was the one skilled in the use of the sword; he was the one appointed “The Sword King.”
“Just a moment, and I’ll make sure you don’t get hurt.”
She stared at the king’s face. His aura was light and he was always smiling, so she nodded in agreement with what he wanted.
“Thank you; follow me to the back of the palace.” It walked away.
She first approached her fellow soldier and said that the king of Paradise Castle had something to do. They agreed, so she immediately followed King Felip.
“Put out your sword before we begin. You probably already know that I am skilled in the use of the sword because I am the so-called king who is good at using it.” the king’s hands were passing the blade of the sword. “Don’t be afraid that you might injure me because I asked for a favor, but I will make sure that my sword will not injure you.”
She pulled out the sword from its holder and stood up straight.
“Let’s start.” King Felip’s face became serious and he drew his sword while Adira studied the use of the king’s sword.
The first to rush was King Felip; his movement was still a little slow, so Adira was still holding her sword. It’s like when Prince Dylan was rehearsing for the first time, but this time it was Adira who seemed to be being taught.
The king smiled but disappeared immediately. That was the signal that his action would speed up, so Adira grew a little taller with each move and stroke of the sword blade on his sword. There was a time when Adira winced at the force.
“Other people were not wrong to consider him “the King of Sword,” as he is very strong and skilled in wielding a sword. I was a bit difficult with every move he made; I almost dropped my sword in one shot.”
She was already sweating when King Felip stopped. She feels hot because of her suit, so she’s a little irritable with what’s going on. She can’t focus either. Her breathing is also heavy, but she will use her senses this time. She cannot be defeated by a king, even if he is the king of a palace, she will not allow herself to be defeated.
“Are you tired?” it asked.
She shook her head, straightened up, and gripped the sword tightly. King Felip smiled slightly.
At that time, she was the first to rush to him. Each stroke of her sword was heavier, so she noticed that the king was being pushed back slightly. Her feelings made her stronger so that no matter where he tried to hit her, she preferred watching his movements. She saw an opportunity, so without hesitation, she bowed down with her legs on the ground, and as she stood up, she spun the sword around his sword and raised it in the air while kicking him in the stomach. He dropped his sword while holding the injured body part.
The king could not believe what Adira had done.
