Chapter 26: Secret Door

He nodded slowly. "If that's what needs to happen, even without an order from the king, I will assign soldiers to every possible human entrance."

"That's fine, but first I have to go back to the prince's room because I went out suddenly. I'm sure he was surprised by what I did. " I walked back inside to the prince's room. As I was walking back to the room, I stopped. "There is a soldier right outside the gate, but why don't they know who is putting the letter right next to the palace gate?" I shook my head. Then I'll just think about what happened today because I have to look after Dylan first.

I entered the room and saw him just looking at the veranda and the curtain that was dancing in the wind. He turned around and frowned. "What happened and you're in such a hurry to get out?"

My eyes did not know where to look at his question. "I just did something outside."

"What? It's amazing how quickly you finished and you're here right away. "

Prince Dylan was already waiting for Adira's answer. That's why his eyes gradually narrowed while looking at Adira. "Are you lying to me?"

I quickly looked at him. "What are you talking about?"

"Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"

I swallowed, but immediately thought of an excuse. "I just sheltered the one I hung."

"Hanged, what is that?"

I frowned because he didn't know that word. "It means I took my clothes that were in the middle of the sun to dry because I washed clothes earlier. "

"Really?" His head tilted again.

I sighed at the extreme nervousness that I felt for the first time in my time doing this. "Why is it so hard to lie to the prince? This is a mission, and I really need to be smart, but why can't I think of an excuse for him right away? That's weird?"

"Then you can go out."

I said as I went to the sofa. "I'll just stay here in case you fall on the bed again and the soldiers are shocked again by your screams." He just didn't answer because he couldn't win with me either.

Meanwhile, Prince Damon arrived at Valiant Castle, his father's palace. He immediately went inside and saw his father on the porch of the palace looking into the distance. He came closer and informed that he had arrived. "I'm here, father."

He slowly turned to him and smiled. "I'm grateful you returned safely, Prince Damon."

"I'm also thankful, father. That no bad people blocked my way. "

His father, King Cyrus, nodded. "How is my friend King Stephen? Is he and his son Prince Dylan doing well?"

Prince Damon smiled. "They are in good condition and have no diseases. I have given the fruit you sent to King Stephen. "

"Good then. One day I will try to visit the palace of Stalwart Castle and King Stephen, and I will have time to talk while drinking wine. " King Cyrus looked at Prince Damon's wrapped hand. "What happened to your hand?"

Prince Damon raised it. He looked at it and suddenly smiled. "I just got it, father, while I was riding the horse. It was a struggle, so I got it from the thin iron that supports the seat on top of the horse. The soldier must have been placed so tightly that it irritated my horse. "

"Next time, take a good look before you leave without getting any injuries on your body. You never know that while you are riding the horse, it will struggle again and you will fall. "

He smiled. "Next time, father, I will be doubly careful."

"I think the servants have finished preparing the food. Come and join me at the dining table." He walked, and Prince Damon just followed King Cyrus, using his eyes before raising his wounded hand again. Earlier, he was still smiling while talking to his father. Now he suddenly became serious and was boldly looking at his hand while slowly moving it. He put it down and walked over to the dining table.

Meanwhile, Adira did stay in Prince Dylan's room, but she fell asleep on the sofa while Dylan was reading a book.

I turned to Adira because it was quiet around. I saw that she was sleeping soundly while her position was sideways and facing my bed. "She just came here to sleep in my room." I smiled a little, but it disappeared as soon as I felt a pain in my stomach. I held it and waited to see if it would hurt again, but it looked like I needed to use the bathroom because my stomach ache was no longer a joke. "How can I go to the bathroom right now? My feet?" It was easy to go to the bathroom because my room had its own bathroom. It's not obvious because the door is the same color as the wall and there's no opening, so it will not be noticed . Just push the door to get inside.

My stomach hurt again, which was more intense, so I had no other choice but to wake up Adira. "Adira!" I called while holding my stomach because I was writhing in pain. "Adira!" I screamed louder.

While closing her eyes, she frowned and slowly opened her eyes. "Why?" she asked, annoyed.

"Can you help me go to the bathroom?"

She just looked at me like she was judging. "What makes you think I have super powers to help you out of your room?"

"I have a bathroom in here, so get up there and help me because my stomach hurts!" And I closed my eyes.

She stood up and came to me, but first she looked around. I held her arm, which surprised her a little. She slowly supported me to stand up. "Where is your bathroom here?here? I can't see a door?" she asked.

I pointed to the spot where the bathroom door was. While wondering, she just supported me while walking and stopped in front of the wall. "If it's a joke, it's not funny, dear prince." She made her eyes widen.

I just grinned and pushed the wall, which immediately opened. Adira blinked her eyes several times at what she saw. "I told you there is. Let's go in and you can leave me inside. "

"Really? What do you think? I'll watch you all the way inside. I can even smell what you let out. "
