Chapter 25: Mysterious Person With The Black Clothes
Meanwhile, in a forest, there are two people facing each other. A woman and a person whose face could not be seen because it was hidden in black clothes that were as long as the feet and the sleeves were up to the palms. It also has a cover on the head. "Have you done what I ordered you to do?" said the mysterious person to the woman.
"I have done what you ordered and I am sure that he has also read your letter," answered the woman.
The mysterious person smiled slightly as his lips were slightly visible. "Then you can leave. We'll see you next week." The woman immediately left, and the suspicious person was left behind. Before leaving, first looked at the palace of Stalwart Castle to see where the person was, then quickly left.
Meanwhile, while Adira closed her eyes, she heard a noise from outside, like rushing footsteps.
I immediately got up and went out. I saw other soldiers hurriedly walking to the prince's room. I was alerted and followed them, but as soon as I entered, I almost tripped when I saw some soldiers who were stunned. I was confused, so I followed where their eyes were looking, but I was even more confused by the state of the prince I saw. "Didn't you say, dear prince, that's where you want to lie down?" because Dylan is already at the bottom of his bed right on the floor.
I was asked by a soldier. "What happened that you rushed here?"
"We heard a loud scream and it came from the prince's room. We thought someone had entered, but we didn't expect that it was just the prince who fell on the bed, so there was a loud scream. " I nodded and looked at Dylan.
"Aren't you going to help me get into my bed?" He asked and wondered why they didn't want to move when the prince was already on the floor.
The two soldiers moved quickly and helped him lie down on the bed again. "Thank you! You can go out now. "
"Okay, dear prince." They just bowed and went out. I, on the other hand, just folded my arms and looked at the prince.
He looked at me curiously. "What kind of look is that?"
"It feels like you're being judged for the scene you made."
His eyes widened and he blinked several times. "I didn't mean to fall!"
I raised an eyebrow. "I don't know if you want attention or if you just don't know that the edge of your bed is just the wrong move and you're about to fall."
He looked at me angrily again. "I was asleep, so I didn't realize I had changed my position while sleeping. It turned out that I was in a position where if I moved, I would have fallen. "
"Shouldn't you be in a position where you lie down and don't move anymore? Sometimes the princes I see in the show look dead because they don't really move and they lie down when they sleep. Is it surprising?"
He was irritated as he clutched his blanket."Well, what you see is not true. It's not because I'm a prince, that's what happens to me, especially when I'm asleep. My body has its own life, which place it wants to sleep in. "
I grinned and leaned on the table in front of his bed. "Looks like you need to be watched 24 hours a day, dear prince. I don't know why your behavior is like that. You are not a prince sometimes," I said while frowning.
He sighed. "Because of my mother. She didn't live here before she became a queen. I forgot which country, but the truth is that she was not a noble like my father. My father told me that my mother was just an ordinary person. "
I then said in my mind, "That's why she has a habit. It's like the country I came from. Isn't that where the queen came from?"
While I was biting my thumb in thought, while I was doing that, I remembered something. "It's a good thing General Agustin didn't pass by, otherwise he would have rushed here again. You didn't feel sorry for the old man anymore."
He widened his eyes at me. "I explained why. Why are you repeating?"
I just shrugged my shoulders and looked outside the veranda of his room, where I could see the gate of the palace. I was alarmed when I saw a person wearing black at the gate while hiding, but I still saw half of his body that seemed to be watching. I knew that person was looking for me, so I immediately went out.
Meanwhile, Dylan was unable to react to Adira's sudden departure from the room.
Adira ran quickly, which was noticed by the soldiers, so they also followed her.
"Who is that person?" I asked myself. I was getting closer to the gate, but when I got there I couldn't catch up with the person wearing black, whose whole body could barely be seen. I looked outside, but there were only a few people there, and the one wearing black was gone. "Why so quick to leave?"
Meanwhile, even General Agustin has gone out because of his soldiers leaving the place where they are on guard . He approached Adira. "Young lady, what's going on and you're here?"
"There is a suspicious person here outside the palace gate. That person is dressed in black and seems to be watching right here inside the palace. "
"Are you sure about that?"
I turned and looked at the general with a frown. "I can't make a mistake, general. My eyes are clear when something like this happens."
"It's surprising. Why didn't my soldiers see it?" General Agustin turned to some soldiers who were with them. "Where are the soldiers guard here outside the palace?"
"I'm sorry, but it happened that the two soldiers left the gate because it was time to replace them and when the young lady saw a suspicious person outside the palace. The two replacement soldiers have not arrived yet."
There was anger on the general's face. "Before the guard soldier left outside, they should have waited for their replacement. By what they did, maybe that mysterious person got in by chance! " General Agustin has a strong word.
I saw that the soldiers bowed their heads. "That's enough, general. I'm sorry, but it's good that your soldiers keep watching outside for 24 hours all the way that people can enter the palace. It looks like it's going to be worse in the next few days because in the last letter I read from the king. "
