The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

After they left Adira’s room, they immediately went outside the palace, where Prince Dylan was not yet there. Adira lined up with the soldier who accompanied them on their journey to Queen Alice’s palace.

Meanwhile, Prince Dylan was walking out of the palace with General Agustin with a very serious face. When he finally got out, General Agustin’s car door opened for him while Adira just watched the prince inside the car. Only Adira’s eyes moved to see Prince Dylan.

General Agustin stood in front of them and reminded them of what they should do, even before the soldiers mounted their respective horses. General Agustin first looked Adira in the eye and nodded. Then she also rode the horse.

A few moments later, the car started, and the soldiers behind it followed. The speed car was fast enough to catch up with the speed of a horse, but Adira was wincing because her thin steel suit was up and down on her shoulders, even though she had put it on properly. Now she felt the weight.

Meanwhile, at Paradise Castle, the princess is ready and waiting to be let out of her room.

Queen Alice entered Princess Francesca’s room. “Francesca, are you ready?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The princess smiled at her mother. “Yes, Mother, before you came in, the person who put makeup on my face was already out.”

Queen Alice came over and stroked the princess’s hair. “I’m sorry, Francesca if you can’t show your hair to others.”

Princess Francesca frowned at what his mother said. “What do you mean, Mother, and why can’t I show my hair to other people?”

Queen Alice sighed and took a long cloth from the hand of the servant who had entered with her. She looked at the servant and nodded, which meant she could leave.

“Because your hair is only shoulder length.”

The princess frowned. “Is there a problem with my hair being this long?”

Queen Alice nodded. “A princess or queen can’t cut her hair. Our hair should be waist length or longer, but yours is not, so you need to hide your hair first so people don’t talk about you outside.”

“If that’s the right thing to do, I’ll follow.”

Queen Alice smiled and touched her daughter’s face before starting to adjust the cloth over Princess Francesca’s head.

“You’re still beautiful even without your hair showing.” Princess Francesca smiled widely. “Come, we need to get out of your room and wait for Prince Dylan in the visitor’s place.”

They left the room and went to the visitors’ place. They found Prince Franco sitting there, seeming to be waiting for someone.

“You’re here, Prince Franco,” said Queen Alice, but she immediately frowned at her son’s outfit. “Son, why have you dressed like that again? I told you to dress like a prince.”

Prince Franco looked her in the eye. “I can’t wear a royal suit yet, Mother, so just let me,” he said seriously.

“Didn’t we have an agreement before? Why did you seem to forget that?”

Prince Franco looked at his sister but immediately looked away. “Don’t be in a hurry, Mother; I can wear a royal suit when I accept the things that happened today in our palace, but for now, let me do what I want.” He stood up. “I’ll go out first, Mother. You and Francesca just follow.” He went straight out without looking at his mother or sister.

Princess Francesca just looked at Prince Franco as he walked away. “Mother, is my brother mad at me?” the princess asked gently.

“No, just understand your brother. That’s how he is even if you haven’t come back to us, but I can’t fully imagine why he hasn’t kept his word before to me.”

Princess Francesca turned to her mother in surprise. “Is there a story about why he is like that, Mother?”

Queen Alice smiled slightly. “You’ll know that too, but for now, come outside, and it looks like Prince Dylan’s car has arrived.”

After a few hours of travel, Adira arrived at Paradise Castle. A soldier got off the horse to open the door for Prince Dylan, while Adira remained seated on her horse and watched the Paradise Castle door.

“What does the princess the general is referring to look like?” she said in her mind while she was looking at the door.

Queen Alice and the princess suddenly came out, but with the cloth wrapped around her head, so Adira could not see the princess’s face.

“Why is the princess’s head wrapped in cloth? I can’t see her face.” She tried to sneak a peek even though she shouldn’t be moving, but she couldn’t see her face until she got into the car with Dylan.

They left immediately and traveled to a place where there were people selling something, but it wasn’t modern stuff. Unlike the country where Adira is from. Prince Franco was also with them, but he was just ahead of Prince Dylan’s car.

They reached the place and stopped away from the crowd. The soldiers and Adira also got off the horse, and Prince Dylan went to the car, but the princess approached her brother Prince Franco, and Prince Dylan was left next to the car. Adira lined up with the soldiers and stood straight while waiting for Prince Dylan and the princess because they were just behind them.

While Prince Dylan was waiting for the princess, he turned to his soldiers and stopped his gaze on one of them. Prince Dylan frowned as he approached his soldiers and seemed to examine one of them.

While Adira was also frowning at the prince, who was now close to her.

“Why is he so close to our place?” She said it in her mind. Dylan stopped right in front of her, and she must admit she felt nervous because she didn’t expect something like this to happen. She followed the general’s advice, she didn’t look directly into his eyes and stood up straight.

“Are you a new palace soldier?” asked Dylan.

She swallowed a few times and didn’t speak. Dylan frowned slightly. “I repeat, are you a new palace soldier of Stalwart Castle?”

She hasn’t even answered his question because of her voice, which she’s sure he will recognize.

Fortunately, a soldier spoke up. “Sorry, dear prince, this soldier in front of you can’t speak.” She frowned at what the soldier said.

Dylan was surprised and looked at the soldier who spoke. “Does that mean he can’t answer my question either?”

“That’s right, dear prince, but I will be the only one to answer your question. Only yesterday he became a palace soldier.”

Dylan nodded and looked at her again. “That’s why he doesn’t know where to put the sword yet.” She knew he was looking into her eyes, but she was just looking at his neck because the prince also has height. “The sword is not placed behind the back; if you notice your fellow soldier, it is placed on their waist and slightly in front. If possible, adjust the holder of your sword because the position is even more dangerous, and if you cannot see it, you should adjust it.”

She just nodded in response, and before she could fix the sword, someone called Dylan, the princess. She quickly moved her eyes to the princess and wanted to see her face, but even her face was covered with a cloth up to the top of her nose, so she only saw the princess’s eyes. Dylan walked away from them and continued fixing the sword.

“I’m not used to having something on the side of my waist. I wish I had the weapon I’m going to use on the back like my two sticks, but Dylan’s right, it’s better that when I draw the sword I can see it rather than in the back, which may lead to injury.”

After fixing the sword holder on her waist, she saw that Dylan and the princess had already walked to the market, so the soldiers also walked and followed behind them, but she noticed that Prince Franco did not follow them. He just left where he was earlier.

While they were walking and looking at the products there, she suddenly frowned. “How will they get to know each other if this is all Dylan and the princess will do? While walking around and talking about the things that are sold here,” she said in her mind that she was really surprised because, in her country, this is not how people treat the person they courting. After all, our habits and activities are different. To them, it’s like ancient times, and to us, it’s the modern era.” She just kept walking with the soldiers.

As they walked slowly, Adira noticed that Prince Franco followed them because he walked ahead of their soldiers, so he was behind Prince Dylan and Princess Francesca.

Prince Dylan stopped and turned to a small diner. “Would you like to try eating here, princess?” asked the prince, but Princess Francesca just stared at the small diner for a long time, and no answer came out of her mouth.

“It’s fine with me if we eat there,” Prince Franco suddenly said, which surprised Prince Dylan a little because he suddenly appeared.
