Chapter 14: The Letter

Adira was walking in the hallway when she saw General Agustin. He immediately approached her. "Come with me first. The king will show you something." He walked again, and Adira was left wondering.

When I entered the king's office, I immediately sat down in front of the king. I also noticed that he was holding a piece of paper and staring at it. He sighed and looked at me with tired eyes. "Read it." I reached for the paper and read it using my eyes.

"Time flies and the moon replaces the sun. The life of a nobleman is nearly over, so before this happens, obey one request. " I frowned at the way the word was written to have another meaning.

While I was holding the letter, King Stephen spoke. "That's just one of the letters that have been sent to me by an unknown person, and I'm a little nervous because the letters are getting worse, especially for how they write it."

"How do you get this without seeing who the culprit is?"

"Letters are left outside the palace and General Agustin doesn't even know who puts them there because there are soldiers and other people who pass in front of the gate of my palace."

"They don't know how to use CCTV here?" I asked myself. I put the old paper down on the table. "It's hard if you don't have even one piece of evidence. It's easier to catch a person if there's even a small piece of evidence from what the person did, but I'll try to sharpen my senses and vision so that the intimidation that's happening to you doesn't last much longer. "

He smiled and stared at me . I immediately looked away because of the way he was staring at me and suddenly spoke. "I just have a question for you, Adira. Despite your beauty, why do your eyes seem lifeless?"

I was dumbfounded by his question. "There are many reasons why, dear king, but I won't tell you why because I'm trying to forget the past, so I can't tell the story of your question."

He nodded. "I'm sorry for the question. I'm totally wondering why, but you can't forget the past if you try to put it out of your mind. Instead, what you should do is just let it disappear on its own without you realizing it because of when you tried to remove it from your life. Everything is still trying to remind you more. "

I couldn't speak because what King Stephen said was true. A wound doesn't always need medicine to heal, but that doesn't mean it should be left even if it is not using medicine that can heal the wound immediately.

Suddenly, the king spoke again, which surprised me a little. "You can go to your room. The room where you stayed before you left. General Agustin will accompany you there." I stood up and thanked him and followed General Agustin to the room, and when we got to the door, the general immediately said goodbye.

I went inside and saw my stuff neatly placed on top of the bed. I lay down and closed my eyes. "Starting tomorrow I have to be ready, not only for the training for the prince but also to solve the letter received by the king." I quickly opened my eyes. "Don't let my patience with the prince be full, because if that happens, I will willingly give him to the mysterious sender." I got up and arranged the clothes in the cabinet that was there and rested because of the fatigue of sitting inside the plane.

The night passed and the sun rose again. Adira was ready for the first day of the prince's training that she had been waiting for outside the palace. "Why did he take so long to go out?" I really wonder why it took him so long to go out. It will be more difficult for us to train when the sun's rays get stronger, even in the country where I am. The breeze is cold.

I sighed and entered the palace again with a very serious face towards Dylan's room. The other soldiers didn't stop me because King Stephen had given them information about me.

I stared at the door to Dylan's room. "It's only the first day, but you're already hurting my head. Get ready for me when we're outside. " I opened the door without saying that I would go inside and saw that he was still fast asleep. I tried to calm myself down, but he seemed to have completely forgotten that we had training today. 

I quickly approached his bed. I took the pillow and covered his face, then pressed it. A few moments later, he woke up and tried to remove the pillow from his face. I pushed the pillow more, but it's a good thing he removed it immediately, otherwise the air in his lungs ran out.

He sat down angrily and looked at me. "Are you planning to kill me? Maybe you're the real enemy here!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what time it is? We had a talk yesterday that today is your first training and when I came in here you were still sleeping."

He pulled his hair, and there was pressure in each of his grips. "But that doesn't mean you can do that to me. What if I can't breathe forever? "

"Then I'll give you a chance to breathe for ten seconds to say goodbye," I answered while looking at the floor.

He was shocked and moved away slightly. "I don't know if you still have a heart for what you're doing to me."

"Of course I have a heart, but if I see someone like you, it turns to be like a stone because you don't know how to follow what I said." I looked into his eyes, but he was the first to let go.

He sighed. "Okay, I'm sorry if I didn't wake up right away, but you can go out now because I'll change clothes."
