In a small cafeteria, a few people were eating because it wasn't lunchtime at that time. A woman in a black hoodie, ripped jeans, and rubber shoes entered and went quietly to the pot of dishes. Then she sat down in a corner, put the hood of her jacket back on her head, and put her hand in the jacket pocket.
While she was waiting for the cafeteria staff to put her chosen dishes and rice in front of her, she caught sight of a man and the owner herself, who seemed to be having a bad conversation. "Why haven't I paid yet? It took me a while to choose what to eat!" the man shouted with strength.
The cafeteria owner calmly answered him. "We don't take payment until the customer has finished eating. Only after the customer has eaten will we take the payment, so how do you say you already gave it? "
"I just gave you the payment earlier. You were so talkative that you didn't notice!"
"I have other staff here, and they are the ones who check who has paid or who has not paid. Now you are done eating, it's your turn to pay for what you ate."
The man dropped his hand on top of the table, causing even more noise in their place, so the other customers were slightly scared, especially because of the size of the man's body and because he looked drunk. "As long as I said I paid, I paid!"
"If you don't want to pay, we will be forced to file a complaint with the police," the owner said calmly, even though the person she was talking to was not showing good behavior.
He looked angrily at the owner and was about to overturn the table towards the woman when a hand stopped him.
"You are already in arrears for not paying for what you ate. Then now you try to destroy their property." She grinned even though that man couldn't see her face, only her lips. "It's unfair, right?" she looked up at the man, a blank expression on her face.
The man tried to remove her hand, but he couldn't do it. "What do you know? Can you please stay out of this?"
Adira looked at the owner and saw that she was also tired because she often ate there. This is also the one who cooks what she sells, and then some people are brave enough not to pay when they have already eaten what she worked so hard to cook.
"Just pay, then it's over," she calmly said.
He grinned. " The staff of this cafeteria is just stupid, so they didn't notice that I paid."
"Ms., is what he said true?" she asked the lady.
The owner shook her head a few times, and her face showed that she wasn't lying.
"No, if I'm the one who made the mistake, I won't be tough with him like this."
She turned back to the man. "So you're the liar here?"
The man got out of her grip and tried to push her, so she tried to avoid it, and he quickly fell to the floor. The man stood up again and tried to hit her with his fist, but she just calmly moved her body as if something were being avoided based on her movements, and thought that she was just playing. His fist was going to hit her in the face, but she immediately moved and hit the man's stomach with her fist, and he almost vomited from the force of the punch. She took her two wooden sticks from her back that were hidden inside the jacket with only 2 inches sticking out.
She put it in front of the man's face. "Whether you pay or not, you will go home with your feet crippled. Your body is capable of working, but you are here to cause trouble. "
He was stubborn, so she let out a hit on his knee, causing it to immediately fall on the floor. From the look on the man's face, he had been hurt by a strong hit from a woman. "Okay-I'll pay," he said in a strained voice.
"You want to be hurt before you admit it," she said as she strapped the two wooden sticks to her back.
The man stood up and quickly paid the owner, who looked like he had not changed, but the man left in a hurry.
"Are you all right?" she asked.
The woman nodded. "Thank you. You, are you alright?"
"Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself."
The owner apologized to the few customers who were eating. "Sorry for the little mess. You can continue eating. " They returned to the table near where the man was sitting a minute ago.
The owner looked at a table on the side. "You can take your seat. I'll just send you whatever you want to eat. Thank you again. " She held her hand before leaving and returned to her table earlier.
She is Adira, a gangster known to everyone in that area, but the man she met earlier seems to be a stranger, so he tried to hurt her fearlessly. A gangster who rarely shows emotion; she only frowns and grins at other people, especially her opponents. The moment her name was heard, no one wanted to fight with her, except for the novice gangsters in their area. The moment she took out her two wooden sticks, she seemed to be a different person. But it is still a big mystery why everyone is so afraid of her, even though she is alone and a woman.
A cafeteria worker put down her food. "Thank you." She began eating because she needed to get home as soon as possible.
After eating, she just dropped the payment on the table and looked at the owner's place. They saw her, and she just nodded before leaving. She was already familiar with them because she's been eating at their cafeteria for a long time, so by the time she stood up and looked at the owner's place, they already knew that her payment for the meal was already on the table.
She is walking home, and her eyes are only looking at the road. They can't see her whole face because she's wearing a hoodie. As she was walking, a man spoke from behind her. "Hold on!"
She stopped walking. "Do you know what happens when you pass through my territory?"
"No," she replied.
"They don't get home without blood on their bodies anymore." she heard his slight laugh.
"Do you also know what will happen to you if you don't let me pass through your so-called territory?"
"How dare you! You look like you don't know who you're talking to!"
"You don't seem to be either." And she faced the man behind her: "Know that I can break a bone in your body in just a few seconds." She grinned, and at that point, the man retreated slightly because he seemed to recognize who he threatened.
He smiled hesitantly. "It's you, Adira." It can also be seen how its appearance has changed. It used to look brave, but now it looks like a gentle sheep.
"Yes, it's me. Try to scare passersby again. No matter where you go, I can still find you. So when I count to three, you should be gone!"
Her mouth was just about to open, but he was running fast. She frowned. "Tsk, man, but a coward." She shook her head and continued walking home.
She was near the warehouse where she lives when someone greeted her while walking. "Adira, where have you been?" he asked Adira, and by the looks of it, he was already 60 years old.
"Just over there, eat."
"Is that so?" He took an envelope from his pants pocket. "New client, study her problem carefully if you want to do what is written on the envelope."
She took it and started walking again, but she raised her left hand, which meant she was leaving.
Simon, the man's name, simply shook his head. Adira is always with him whenever someone wants to take her services, but she can't just say yes because she has a condition whenever someone wants to take her services. The client must first provide details on the problem and how Adira will solve it. But if Adira doesn't like it, she won't accept it, even if she is offered a lot of money. It's not because she's a gangster that she doesn't have a heart when the client wants to do something too brutal to someone. Her answer is always no, and she tears up the envelope Simon gives her when the client requests it.
While Simon was watching Adira walk away, his phone suddenly rang, signaling that someone was calling, and he knew it was a client because only Adira's clients call his phone often. "Hello! What mission do you want to do?" Simon replied immediately, but the other line didn't answer. He wondered and looked at the phone screen again, but the caller still didn't hang up, so he spoke again. "Hello! Are you a client? If not, maybe you called the wrong number!" Simon was about to hang up when the person on the other line spoke.
Simon frowned at what the caller was saying. He just listened and didn't speak at first, but after a few minutes, the caller seemed to say something, so Simon answered, "I'm not sure if she'll accept your offer, but if you want to, you can't talk to her. You can only talk to me, and I'll just tell her what you want; talking to her is impossible." Simon stopped for a moment and sighed at what the person on the other line said. "Okay, I'll find a way." He ended the call and looked again at the road leading to Adira's house.
She has already returned to her house, which is a warehouse. It is an old warehouse, so she just decided to live here. She only covered one part of the warehouse because it was too big. The small space for the bedroom and kitchen is perfect for her. She has a decent house to go home to, but she can't live there anymore because her sister always has a grudge against her, and she doesn't know why. Even though their father and mother are still alive, they can't get along since they are of the same bloodline. It's just what flows through their veins. She can't imagine that it might be jealousy because their parents love them so much, and she can't quite figure out why. When their parents were buried a few days ago, her sister's anger towards her got worse, and sometimes she even ended up with injuries because her sister almost pushed her, tweaked her, and even tried to kill her during those times. She knew how to fight back then because Simon was starting to teach her, but she still chose not to retaliate because her sister was older than her and also her sister, so she just left our house and lived alone. She hasn't heard from her sister anymore because since she left home, she has focused her time and mind on training to become a full-fledged gangster and accepting missions that she could earn money on, but the missions she accepts are not violations of the law and only those that can be discussed; if she has to fight, she uses the two wooden sticks that are always on her back.
She shook her head and tried to forget the past that happened to her and just entertain herself because the night was still a long time coming.
That night, Adira went to bed early, and she was exhausted at that moment, so she did not feel the mysterious people entering her house.
At almost midnight, the area around Adira's warehouse is quiet as some people slowly approach her house simply to find a way to get inside. The mysterious men were lucky because the warehouse had a large window that was broken, and a person could fit through the hole, but a ladder had to be used to get to that window. The men wearing black face masks found a way into the junkyard at the back of the warehouse, so they used that as the only way they managed to get inside. Slowly, they couldn't create any noise while going inside.
They were lucky because Adira was tired, so she didn't feel that someone had entered her house.
The men started to look for Adira, and it wasn't long until a man saw Adira sound asleep and didn't feel that there was anyone near her. He put yellow medicine in a handkerchief from a small bottle and slowly brought it closer to Adira's face, quickly covering her nose. She woke up immediately and tried to remove the handkerchief from her nose, but she immediately fainted because the medicine she inhaled in the handkerchief was too strong, so she gradually lost consciousness.
A man entered when Adira was unconscious. "You're done?" he asked of the man who put the medicine in the handkerchief.
"Yes, pick her up so we can leave right away because the place we will take her is still far away."
The man immediately followed and picked up Adira, as if it were a dress that was just slung over his shoulder. They immediately left until the medicine had an effect because they would have to travel a long way before going to the person who ordered Adira to be taken.
The sun was rising, and Adira was slowly waking up. She felt like she had been sleeping for a long time.
She slowly got up and closed her eyes a few more times to finally keep her eyes open, but she stopped and frowned at what she saw inside the room because it was a big room, the size of the bed, and there were beautiful things on display in the open cabinet. She looked up and saw the big chandelier on the ceiling. She also noticed that there was a thin cloth hanging on the bed because the right side of it was tied, so she could see the things inside the room.
She frowned. "Am I still asleep, so why is this what I see right now? This is not what my room in my house looks like." She gently slapped herself several times because maybe she was still asleep and she needed to wake up, but when she opened her eyes again, she still saw the same thing, so she immediately got up and got ready to leave that room, but suddenly an elderly man entered through the door.
"You're awake, young lady. Come with me to answer your questions. I know you're wondering what you're seeing right now. "
She frowned. "Where am I? Why am I here? All I know is that I'm at home and went to bed early, but why, when I wake up, am I already in another house?"
The old man opened the door more and waited for her to go outside. "You'll find out if you come with me, but before that, do you want to eat? Are you hungry?"
She shook her head a few times, and her face became serious. "Let's go to where you take me, so I can get out of here."
"If that's what you want, follow me."
He started walking, so she followed, and she was really surprised at what she was seeing, even in the hallway they were passing. They stopped at a big door, and two soldiers were guarding it. They were wearing the same clothes as the ones she was talking about earlier, but the design was different. She suspected that the one she was talking to had a higher position. Two soldiers opened the door for them, and they entered another big room that looked like an office.
"She's here," said the old man.
The chair that she can see is not facing them, so she can't see who the person is in the seat yet. "You can go out, general," said a male voice that was still not facing them.
"I am only on the outside, my Highness if you have any orders." The old man turned to face the door, but first, he looked at her and bowed his head a little. When he came out, she was stunned at the voice of the man in the chair calling for the old man to come out. "General?" she said, confused, and looked again at the chair that was still turned back at her.
She waited for a few minutes before that person slowly turned the chair and faced me. She saw an old man, but he was dressed differently. He looked more like a king. Her eyes moved to the top of his head because he was wearing a crown.
"Good morning, young lady. How was your sleep? Did it go well?"
She didn't answer, but he stared at her. "It looks like you're still wondering and wanting to know what's going on right now. Take a seat because we have something to talk about."
She slowly walked closer to his table and sat in the chair opposite him, with only a table in between. "Why am I here?" she immediately asked.
He smiled a little. "I need your help."
She frowned. "What for?"
"Do you accept missions, right?"
"How did you know that?"
He sighed. "I was looking for someone like you, and your name is what people are talking about, so I secretly searched for the gangster whose name is Adira, and then I found you."
"I am not easily found, especially since I'm using something that can't recognize my personality or my face. How do you know who I am?"
"His name is Simon, and he is your partner in missions."
She was stunned. "Then why didn't he tell me that there was a client who wanted to hire my services? Why did I wake up and find myself in this strange house?" Her eyes wandered into that room.
"Now I know, you don't know who we are or the name of my palace. Do you know that there are palaces that stand in a country like ours?"
"No, why?"
"My palace belongs in the place that other countries look up to because of the discipline and peace here."
She suddenly looked at what was in front of her. "Palace, another country?"
He leaned on the chair. "Yes, you are not in your country because you are in my country now."
"How come I'm already in your country? I just slept!" She stood up and gave him an inexplicable look.
"Calm down, young lady."
"No! How can I calm down if, when I wake up, I'm already in another country and a palace? Now you tell me to calm down! "
He closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, but this is your partner's plan."
She was stunned. "Who, Simon?" and he nodded in response.
"His plan is for us to kidnap you because you don't face your clients. But I wanted to talk to you personally, so I agreed. The medicine that deepened your sleep was put in a handkerchief and placed over your nose while you slept. Those who took you had time to bring you here by plane. You traveled for five hours to be brought here by the people ordered by your partner, whose name is Simon. Then, when you come here, General Agustin takes you secretly somewhere. Those people will no longer be able to see where you will be. "
She clenched her fist when she found out. "How important is your mission offer just to bring me here?"
His eyes were sad. "More important than my life is my son, so I need you for the mission I want you to do."
"What kind of mission?"
"To be a bodyguard, train the prince to fight and secretly watch around wherever he goes, whether in his room or his food also."
She thought about what he said. "Why do you need to hire people when you have soldiers in your palace? They can do better because they have weapons. "
He clasped his hands together. "I will not entrust my son's safety to my soldiers because I suspect that there may be people here who are not loyal to me, so it is better to be careful."
"Why does your son need to be watched?"
"I have been receiving letters from unknown people threatening my son's life because he is weak and doesn't know how to fight, so they threaten my son's life. Another thing is that they wanted me to leave my throne, and Prince Dylan didn't take over, even though he is my heir. "
"Why?"
"That's what I don't know right now, and I have no idea who or why this is being done to me when I don't have an enemy in any country or even here in my country."
She folded her arms. "I cannot accept the mission you offer," she suddenly said.
King Stephen also stood up. "I know there is a mission you haven't accepted, especially in a situation like this, but I hope you accept it because I don't have time to look for another person to do the mission, and I will be grateful if the person I hire is good."
She looked into his eyes and saw the pleading for it. She sighed. "In that case, I need to see the prince and how he trains. Only then will I decide whether I will accept the mission or not. If I didn't see any reason to accept it at the time. At the time, I stated that I would return to my home country. You will do it immediately. "
He smiled a little. "You can trust me that I will do what you want immediately, but for now you can see the prince tomorrow morning because he has something to go to today."
"Okay, but if you don't mind, can I use your phone? I just need to call someone. "
He opened a drawer and took out a smartphone from inside. "You know how to use something like this?" she asked.
He smiled big. "Even though we're already in the palace, we know how to keep up with people now. We have an old phone, but we still use it too. "He placed the smartphone on the table near her.
"Where can I go to the part of the palace to call?"
He suddenly spoke. "General Agustin, can you come in for a moment?"
Suddenly, the old man she talked to earlier came in, and she thought about how strong his hearing was and even heard what the king said.
"General, can you take her to the palace's roof? Also, make sure there are no other soldiers there. "
"Okay, your highness." He looked at her and started walking. Before leaving, she looked at the king, who just nodded.
After leaving the room, they went directly to the top of the palace, where some soldiers were guarding the hallway, and then right to the bottom of the stone stairs. They stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "I'll just wait for you here. You go upstairs. Don't worry, there's no one there, even though the soldiers aren't there at this time. "
She nodded and started walking, stepping up the stairs. When she came out, she saw a very wide view, and if she looked down, it was very high where she was.
She didn't waste any more time and immediately called Simon. It took a few rings before Simon answered the call. "Hello! Who is this?"
"This is Adira."
Simon, on the other hand, closed his mouth because he knew he had sinned. "Why were you called?" He's weak on questions again.
"I didn't know you were betraying me, Simon. Why did you do this?" she yelled angrily.
Simon closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Adira. He wants to talk to you, so I'll just find a way to get you there."
She felt dizzy in her head. "How about my mission for Mrs. Torres?"
"Don't worry, I know you'll be back here because of the mission, two days before your mission to her husband."
"I'm telling you, Simon, I don't want this to happen again. How can I go home if I'm already in another country? Also, how did I get in here without a passport? "
"There is a fake, but you got through, so that's okay, but when you come back here, you will use the king's private plane."
She frowned. "What? Even if I use a private plane, I'll still go through the airport before going home and check my passport there." She closed her eyes to the problem Simon had created.
"You did go there without being caught. The case was an emergency because you were asleep, and the thought was that you needed to fly there for your operation."
Her head hurt so much that she had to hang up the phone because the more she talked to Simon, the more it hurt. She just blew out the air and left the top of the palace.
The next day, Prince Dylan was coming home from the other side of the area where the average person lives. Growing vegetables was the only source of income. He visited them and checked if the livelihood of the people there was still good.
The prince is near, together with some soldiers in the palace while riding a horse. When they arrived in front of the palace, he came down, and the soldier took the rope of the horse and brought it into the stable. He went inside and was immediately greeted by the soldiers guarding the big door. They bowed at the same time, but as soon as he entered the palace, General Agustin immediately greeted him.
"Good morning, prince. Did you have a good and safe trip?"
"Yes, but I need to rest first, and I'm tired from traveling." He was about to leave when the general stopped him.
"But before that, the king is calling you. I know you're tired, but what your father has to say is important."
He just sighed because he wanted to lie down and rest, but eventually, he went with General Agustin. They entered his father's office and proceeded to the part where there was a table that could fit six people, two on each side and one at each end of the table. His father sat at the end of the table, and he sat near him.
"Father, what are we going to talk about today? I wanted to rest, but General Agustin said. Do you have something important to tell me?"
The king folded his hands. "Yes, it's important, and I have to say it now, not tomorrow, but now. Later, you have to train again with General Agustin. "
He was surprised at what his father, the king, said. "That's what you're saying is important, Father?"
"Yes."
"But I haven't rested yet from traveling to distant places."
"You can rest now, but you must be awake and train before the sun goes down."
He frowned as he looked at his father. "Can't I just train on another day?"
"No, it can be done for at least an hour, and then you can stop."
He's wondering what his father is saying that he can't explain. He will practice for an hour? General Agustin and his training time sometimes reach five hours, but now it's only one hour. What else can they do if it's only an hour of training? But he just obeyed since his father ordered it.
"Then, I'll go to my room and rest and wake up before sunset." His father nodded, and then he completely left that room.
Meanwhile, General Agustin and King Stephen were left behind. "Go to Adira's room and tell her that he has agreed."
General Agustin bowed in respect before leaving the room and continuing to Adira's room. "Young lady, may I come in?" He said it with strength in front of the door to Adira's room.
General Agustin continued to enter as it opened. "Good news! The prince is here at the palace. He has agreed, and before nightfall, we will train. If you want to secretly watch, you can go to the top of the palace so you can see how he moves, and if your vision is like an eagle's, just be careful because he might notice you and we suddenly stop, and you won't see how he trains. "
"All right, I'll do it."
"Then I'm leaving. Don't forget, you should be at the top of the palace before nightfall. " She nodded. "I'm going out." General Agustin finally came out, and she decided to go to sleep and wait for the time because she had nothing to do in that huge room.
By afternoon, Adira was at the top of the palace, but she had not yet seen the prince in the lower part of the palace. She only looked for a long time before she saw two people come out and go to a place with various weapons, such as bows, swords, and pointed wooden sticks. They are now in the middle. It is huge, so it is easier to move.
She hasn't seen the prince's face yet because she's in the upper part of the palace, so she can only see his head. She just watched them because they were getting ready for training, but she immediately saw the prince's weakness. His grip on the handle of the sword was not tight, and it was obvious that he was just holding something about to be released due to the looseness of his grip. She saw General Agustin; she saw that he was good at fighting, especially when holding a sword. General Agustin started rushing, but the prince, she saw, was not good, especially when he held the sword, and from what she saw, she was sure he will die in battle from the weakness he shows. She looked carefully at the hands of the two and saw how the prince raised his sword to the sword of General Agustin, and it was obvious from the force of the general's sword strike that she saw the prince's grip on the sword loosen. She was alerted because General Agustin was serious but the prince was not, so the general's sword could slip and hit the prince in the face. She was so focused that she hit a small pot and was shocked that she just watched it fall. But the two stopped at the bottom when the pot fell to the ground, so General Agustin and the prince looked at where she was. The eyes of the prince met hers, so she bowed down.
"He probably didn't see me, did he?" she asked herself.
Meanwhile, Prince Dylan frowned. "General, is what I saw right? Is that a young lady?"
General Agustin's eyes blinked. "Where? I didn't see anything."
"I saw a real person, and she is a woman."
"Maybe you just hallucinate, your highness?"
"But-" He looked at the pot that fell and immediately let go of the sword he was holding. "My plant!"
Prince Dylan is worried about the plants that have no pot and that the soil has separated, as well as the plants that have gone everywhere. "My plant!"
General Agustin frowned at what the prince said. "Your plant, dear prince?"
"Yes, it's mine. I made it grow for a month, and then it just fell." He looked at the top of the palace again and walked quickly towards it.
Meanwhile, Adira peeks in again, but Prince Dylan and the general are gone.
"Where are they now?" She was surprised when the door opened loudly to reveal her.
She was stunned for a moment, and the man was now standing a few steps away from her. "You! " His finger pointed at her. "You're the reason my plant fell!" He made his eyes squint even more.
She can't speak at first because it's her fault that the pot fell, but what she's wondering is why he was so concerned about the plant.
He frowned. "Wait, who are you? What are you doing here in the palace? You're a spy! General, catch this woman right now! " But General Agustin just stood behind the prince and did not move.
He was surprised because General Agustin was still not moving. "General, why haven't you taken action and arrested her?"
He hesitantly smiled at the prince. "I'm sorry, dear prince, I cannot do as you command."
"Why?" He looked at her. Now she was smiling. And he was completely confused by what was happening.
"We have to go to your father, Prince Dylan's, office again."
"Why do we have to go there again?"
"Just come with me, you too, young lady."
Prince Dylan looked at her in disbelief. "Why is she still included?"
The general did not answer him and started walking. "Go ahead and follow him; my time is wasting and I'm in a hurry," she said.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
She looked at him seriously. "Follow the general so you can find out who I am. Not because you're a prince, you won't follow what the general said, especially the more questions you ask. "
"Who are you to say those words?"
She grinned. "You'll find out when you go to your father's office, but it looks like I've made a decision, and I'm sure you won't like it." It walked away and left him wondering, but after a few moments, he followed, and they sat down together on the chairs next to the table.
Before Prince Dylan was even fully seated, he immediately asked. "Father, who is she? I don't like the behavior she showed me earlier. She is guilty; she destroyed my plant! "
She raised her eyebrows. "I didn't mean it. The way you talk, it's like I meant to trip over the pot and fall."
The prince gave her an angry look. "If you weren't there, my plant would still be alive!"
"Then dig and plant seeds so that you have a plant again. Is that a problem?"
The two were just shocked when the king hit the table with all his might. "That's enough!"
"But father-"
"I'll tell you why she's here, so listen, Dylan; you two have to agree." The king looked at him. "Have you made a decision yet?"
She nodded. "I accept."
The king smiled, much to Dylan's surprise. "What's that for, Father?"
"By the way, she is the one who will teach you how to wield a sword and other qualities of a prince who can face even if you are the only opponent of them all."
He frowned and seemed to be judging her. "I don't understand. What can she do to teach me? She's a woman and doesn't seem to know how to fight either." He was even proud of what he said.
She smiled secretly, but his father laughed out loud because of what he said about her.
"It's too early to say that, son. You don't know who she is, so don't judge the person you just met because you might regret why I chose her to teach you. "
The prince looked at her, so she raised an eyebrow at him. "Why do you seem to be in such a hurry to learn how to fight? The surroundings are quiet, and we don't have any enemies."
The king looked at General Agustin. "You don't control time, son. You better learn now so you don't go home defeated when there is a sudden war or you have an enemy to meet."
The king produced a document and gave it to her. "Sign the document for your passport, and I'll make it valid so you don't have any trouble going home and coming back here. By tomorrow, before you leave, the passport will be in your hand."
In her mind, "It's so easy when a person has power." She just shook her head and signed the document.
While Prince Dylan just watched and was confused by what was happening. "Does that mean she's from another country?" he suddenly asked.
Everyone stopped except Dylan.
"Yes."
"How strong and talented is the woman in front of us? Why is my father so very impressed with her?" he said to himself.
After Adira signed the document, King Stephen spoke again. "Would you mind introducing yourselves to each other?"
She looked at the prince, who didn't seem to like his father's idea, so she didn't speak either.
"Dylan, introduce yourself to her, then we're done."
She saw that the prince was trying to prevent her from making a scene because it looked like he didn't like her whole being. "I am Prince Dylan, the only son of King Stephen, the King of Stalwart Castle."
She, on the other hand, got ready and gave herself the honor of introducing herself. "Adira, from another country, and I am the one feared in the world of gangsters."
The prince looked at her with his eyebrows almost touching. "Gangster, what's that?"
"People who kill anyone who bumps into them are heartless and kill as if they were taking the life of a non-human being."
He suddenly looked at his father. "Father, what kind of person did you hire? Why a gangster! " She can see the fear in his eyes.
While she was already laughing out loud in her mind. "Your son, King Stephen, is not only a weakling, but he is also a coward." An angry eye met hers. "Don't worry, my dear prince. I will take care of you, and you won't have any more scars, even though I have a habit of not following through on what I want. " She stopped speaking and stared at the prince, waiting for the next thing to say. "You will get a punishment from me that you will not forget. There is nothing you can do because I have accepted the mission. Even if you kneel in front of your father, I will not take back my decision."
He gave her an obstinate look, which she avoided. "So during training, you need to be alert because you can use that infighting. You can't just wait for the enemy to come to you and just die without fighting. " She looked at the prince again and smiled a little.
But the effect of that little smile on the prince was so strong that he was surprised by the acceleration of his heart rate.
