Chapter 40: Urgent

When Adira finished fixing her bed, she looked at Prince Dylan again.

"Aren't you planning to go out? Maybe King Stephen is looking for you because you have a visitor today. " Dylan just leaned against the wall. "And then maybe later we will both be suspected here. Remember, this is a woman's room and you are a prince."

Just a few moments later, someone called outside, General Agustin. "Young lady, have you seen the prince!" he shouted from outside the room door.

I quickly approached the door and looked at Dylan as if he didn't care that General Agustin saw him here.

I opened the door and just peeked through the slightly open door. "Didn't you see him, general?" I asked.

"I've been looking for him for a while now, but he's nowhere to be found in any part of the palace. King Cyrus is leaving, and King Stephen would like him to say goodbye."

My eyes are panicked and my face doesn't seem to know where Dylan is. "I will also help to find the prince, and when I see him I will immediately say, go to where they are King Stephen."

"It's better then. I'll leave you here. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. " He bowed slightly before leaving for good.

When I closed the door, I let out all the air I had been holding in while I was talking to General Agustin. I looked at the prince, and he was just looking at me.

"Come out, General Agustin, and say that they are leaving, King Cyrus and Prince Damon."

"Can I just not leave your room?"

I approached him and pulled his hand. "It's not possible, so hurry out and General Agustin might even know you're here." When I pull on his hand, he makes it heavier so that we are only in one place and not moving forward.

I looked at him badly. "Move!"

In the end, he just pulled over, and when I opened the door, General Agustin was standing facing us now.

He tilted his head as if we were caught. "That's why it's so hard to find the prince; he's just here. Why didn't you tell me right away, young lady?" There was a small smile on the general's lips.

"Because..." I do not know what to say. So I just slightly pushed Dylan out. "Here he is, general. You can take him to King Stephen. "

General Agustin just shook his head. "As for you, prince, why didn't you even try to peek at the young lady's door so I would know you were here? I went to almost every place you could go to in the palace, but you just here."

Dylan looked away. "I'm sorry, general. I just don't want to get involved in their conversation with my father, especially Prince Damon."

General Agustin sighed. "But that can't be Prince Dylan. You still need to get along, especially since you'll be replacing your father one day, so right now you need to get along even if you're not comfortable with the person you're in front of. "

Dylan looked at me, but I just raised an eyebrow at him. "If that's what needs to happen, I'll go there with you, general."

They walked to where they were King Stephen and left Adira at the door of her room. "It's hard to know what he has to do. He must learn to get close to others, even if he's not comfortable with those people. " I just shook my head and went back into the room.

Meanwhile, King Stephen is already outside the palace, and King Cyrus and his son, Prince Damon, are ready to leave.

"Dear King, Prince Dylan is here," the general said.

King Stephen, King Cyrus, and Prince Damon turned around. "Dylan, where did you go? General Agustin is looking for you for an hour." Prince Dylan did not speak. "It doesn't matter; come and they are leaving, King Cyrus. Give your respects before they leave."

Prince Dylan approached and bowed to King Cyrus. "Be careful on your way into your palace, King Cyrus."

King Cyrus smiled. "Thanks! But we didn't have time to talk, so next time we'll do that."

Prince Dylan nodded several times and didn't even glance at Prince Damon.

"See you again, my friend," King Stephen said with a smile before they entered the car with King Cyrus.

After Prince Damon and King Cyrus left, King Stephen coughed a few times, which worried Prince Dylan. "Father, are you sick?" while rubbing his father's back.

"I'm fine. I think King Cyrus and I drank too much wine. " Prince Dylan just sighed and waited for his father to enter the palace.

Meanwhile, while Adira was lying down, someone suddenly called her phone. "Hello! Who is this?" she asked on the other line.

"Long time, no talk, Adira."

I frowned and got up. "Who are you?"

"You're so quick to forget me. You should also know the people you didn't do what they asked for before."

"Why don't you tell me who you really are? You're talking so much!"

The person on the other line laughed. "Before that, I have something for you."

I was confused when the voice on the other line suddenly disappeared and all I could hear was breathing, but I stood up because I knew whose voice called my name. Again he spoke softly, as if just whispering. "Adira."

"Simon, is that you? Simon!" I shouted.

"Maybe you want to show up before he loses his life here," replied the person he had spoken to earlier.

My hand was shaking and my teeth were grinding. "When I know who you are, get ready for me!"

"You already know me, Adira. It's been a long time, and you know, I don't want to get an answer that is, no. So wherever you are now, hurry because I'll only give you time until tomorrow night. " Then the mysterious caller ends the phone call.

"Hello!...Hello!" I shout, again and again. I put down the phone and hurried out, but I saw Dylan supporting King Stephen while walking inside the palace, so I didn't try to get closer. I just looked for General Agustin, who was outside the palace.

General Agustin was about to enter the palace when Adira blocked the way.

 "I have to go back to my country," I said immediately.

General Agustin frowned. "What is the reason and you seem to be in a hurry to return to your country?"

"If you can use the king's power, so that I can go home to my country right away. I just need to do something for someone important to me," my voice was full of pleading and my tears started to fall.

General Agustin just looked at me. "Give me until tomorrow for the details of your flight, but the king would not have known about it. Is that clear, Adira?"

I nodded. "They are very lucky for you, Adira, because you are ready to do everything for them." General Agustin patted my shoulder. "I wish I had someone like you even though I'm content to have no family." Then the general walked into the palace.

The next day, General Agustin manages the flight to return Adira to her country using the king's private plane. General Agustin did not let the king know what he did because he was resting from a severe flu.

After getting off the plane and passing through the airport, Adira quickly took a taxi to Simon's house. When she got off, she immediately ran to Simon's house, but she didn't see Simon.

I frowned when I saw a shadow outside Simon's house, but when I went out there was no one. I slowly walked around the outside of the house, and when I saw a person with his body wrapped, I immediately followed him. And when I was close to him, I reached for the hood of his jacket, but I was shocked to see his face. "Prince Dylan?"

Prince Dylan closed his eyes and slowly faced Adira, who managed to raise his hand and wave shyly.

"How did you get here?"

"Using the plane," he answered hesitantly.

I got serious and gave him a bad look. "Don't say that you are with me all the time on your father's private plane."

Dylan grimaced and looked away, but I pulled the hood of his jacket again. "Tell me how you knew I was leaving the palace, and I will go home to my country."

Dylan tried to release my grip on the hood of his jacket, but I tightened it even more. "General Agustin said," he answered.

I let go of his jacket. "What did General Agustin just tell you?"

"None, I heard both of you outside, so I asked him."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Then why are you here?"

"What..." He couldn't finish what he was saying.

"What!" I shouted.

"I talked to General Agustin that if I could come with you."

"What did the general say?"

"At first he didn't want it because I might be harmed and my father would find out that I was not in the palace and in our country."

"That's why you secretly came with your family's private plane!"

Dylan looked at me pleadingly. "I just want to know what your life is like here, and then we will only stay here for a few days, right? You're still going back to the palace. "

I closed my eyes and put both my hands on my waist. "Are you afraid I won't come back?"

"Not at all." But his eyes avoided mine. I narrowed my eyes again and was suspicious of his answer.

"I'm going back to the palace. I just have to do something here, and then I'm going to let you know if I'm going back to my country."

Dylan smiled at me. "I'm sorry if I came secretly."

I frowned. "Was I with you in the taxi earlier?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't I notice you?"

"It looks like your mind is flying to other places. Your payment to the taxi driver is too much, so I have already paid too. I was just at the front of the taxi, next to the driver."

I turned around to him. "Instead of Simon being the only problem now, I have two." I just shook my head and entered Simon's house again.
