The Unexpected War
Prince Damon stood up and walked closer to the wall, where he could see the bottom of the palace. Adira followed him.
“He’s not referring to Prince Dylan, who will be killed; it’s King Stephen. I’m the one who sends the letter to Prince Dylan with a servant whose name is Tasha, and it always says, “Be careful, prince.”
She quickly looked at the prince’s face. “That means the letters I found under Dylan’s bed came from him.”
He sighed. “But it was too late. I didn’t know that he was slowly taking King Stephen’s life. I thought he was going to start a war right away, but I was wrong, and I didn’t tell Prince Dylan in my letters to be ready. I hope he is. I heard you and General Agustin the other day talking about what is happening in the king’s body.”
She just listened to him carefully and didn’t speak at first. “You should thank me because I helped you heal the king.”
She frowned. “In what way did you help? You didn’t talk to me about that?”
It laughed softly. “When you were traveling back to Stalwart Castle from the bow and arrow tournament, I was one of the black-robed ones; when you saw me at the gate of Stalwart Castle, the arrow that was supposed to hit Prince Dylan with the princess I also tried to block it, but it didn’t reach; it’s a good thing your sword caught it. I’m also the mysterious man in the forest, and while you’re looking for the plant to use, I meant for you to trip over the root of the tree so you can see what you’re looking for right away. “He stared into her eyes. “And lastly, the dextrose and syringe you use are from me every time you change the one attached by the doctor. You must have noticed that it is in a hidden place. Is it there?”
She couldn’t believe what he said, she wanted to speak but she couldn’t think that it was all him because of his behavior at first and now for the first time she didn’t immediately find out about that in the long time she’s been doing missions.
The prince’s head turned to the left while looking at Adira. “I know you were shocked by what I said, but we have one more thing to do now.” She followed what he was looking at, but she frowned when she saw the doctor walking into the palace.
“What is he doing here at this hour?”
“He is the one we should catch first because he is the one putting the poison in King Stephen’s body.”
“What do you mean? Every time he enters the palace, the soldiers check what he’s carrying up to the medicine; how can he do that if his thing is always checking what he’s carrying?”
Prince Damon smirked, “Because he managed to get the poison liquid in with the medicine capsule. He throws out the contents of the real medicine and replaces it with the poison liquid and puts it back where it was before, so any further examination of the soldier will reveal that they don’t know that the medicine they saw the doctor bring is a poison.”
“Then come on,” she hurriedly said.
Prince Damon nodded, and together they descended from the top of the palace. The two walked quickly and went to King Stephen’s room, but they were both surprised that not only the doctor was there but also Prince Dylan.
Her eyes widened when she saw Dylan because he was looking at her with a serious face. She was still a little surprised because it seemed normal for him to see her now.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Prince Dylan spoke. “What are you doing here, Prince Damon?”
Prince Damon looked at the doctor. “I just needed to talk to someone.”
“Who is the doctor?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll be right here on the side.”
Prince Damon was also surprised by Prince Dylan’s actions. “Why are you talking like that? I have a bad feeling.”
Prince Dylan smiled a little and looked at the doctor. “You’ll be the one to explain why Prince Damon doesn’t feel good about me right now.”
The doctor’s hand trembled, and he dropped what he was carrying. Out came the syringes, dextrose, and other items that were now scattered on the floor. Prince Dylan approached the red medicine and stared at it.
He laughed with tears in his eyes. “A medicine that I thought would cure my father’s illness turned out to be the medicine that was slowly killing him!” He threw away the medicine and looked at the doctor angrily. “My father trusted you from the beginning, even though I was not born into this world, but what did you do to become a traitor, and for what reason?!” Prince Dylan’s tears fall one after the other. His eyes were full of anger while her hands both clenched fists tightly.
While Adira and Prince Damon were just quietly watching Prince Dylan.
The doctor’s eyes are also wet with tears. “Forgive me, dear prince. I didn’t want to do this, but he threatened to kill my family, so I closed my eyes and did what he wanted!”
“Who?!” Prince Dylan asked rather loudly.
The doctor first looked at Prince Damon before answering. “To the King of Valiant Castle-King Cyrus.”
Prince Dylan’s world almost collapsed at the name the doctor said. He turned to Prince Damon with tears in his eyes, but the prince of Valiant Castle was the same, tears also fell from his eyes.
“Do you know about this?”
“I know,” replied Prince Damon.
Prince Dylan rushed Prince Damon. He took the sword from Prince Damon’s waist and pointed it at his face. “Why didn’t you tell me that it was your father who did all this?”
Prince Damon looked emotionlessly into Prince Dylan’s eyes. “I told you-in the letter.” Little by little, Prince Dylan frowned. “My last letter was about that, Prince Dylan.”
“What do you mean, you’re the one mysteriously sending me a letter?”
Prince Damon slowly nodded his head, but Prince Dylan just smirked. “You’re the son of a traitor, but why did I only find out about everything now when my father’s condition is so serious?” Prince Dylan’s tears began to flow again.
“I didn’t know immediately that my father would do this to your father. All I know is that he will do war.”
Prince Dylan burst into tears and slowly lowered the sword.
Someone suddenly opened the bedroom door, and General Agustin entered as if in a hurry. His forehead frowned when he saw Adira without any cover on her head.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the palace. Everyone was shocked, even Adira, because she knew what that sound meant.
“Get ready, Prince Dylan. This is the war you are going to face; I don’t know that my father will attack here now, but I permit you that whatever you want to do to my father will not interfere,” said Prince Damon.
Prince Dylan held the sword tightly. “Just stay here and don’t come out.”
The seriousness of what he said made Adira nervous. She was about to approach him, but he looked at her with no emotion on his face. “Neither do I allow you to come with me or speak?”
She just closed her mouth and was slightly hurt by what he said.
“All of you are guilty of me; that’s why I ask that no one interfere or try to help me. I will face him alone.” Prince Dylan left the room without saying goodbye and went out the back of the palace.
Adira couldn’t resist either, so she ran out of the room with General Agustin and Prince Damon; they just stopped far from the prince, who was now standing in the middle waiting for the traitor visitor.
The soldier was about to approach Prince Dylan, but he raised his hand, so they stopped and stood up straight as they sidestepped. You can hear the footsteps of King Cyrus’s soldier approaching where Prince Dylan is, but the prince’s forehead frowns as he is being dragged by a young lady, Princess Francesca. The soldier stopped, and suddenly the soldiers split into two groups because King Cyrus was walking in the middle and stopped in front of Prince Dylan, who was just a few steps away.
“It looks like you’re ready for what’s going to happen today, Prince Dylan?” He looked at Prince Dylan’s soldiers, who were far away and standing to one side. “Why aren’t your soldiers protecting you?”
“Because I don’t want to.”
King Cyrus frowned. “Before that, you are still the weakest prince in our country,” King Cyrus grinned.
“You are the traitorous friend I met in our country.”
King Cyrus’ smile disappeared and was replaced by a serious face. “Seems to know the truth first.”
His eyes were brimming with tears again so that his veins were reddened as he looked at King Cyrus. “Why?!”
“It’s time for me to get revenge on your father.”
He grinned. “It’s too late for your revenge because the person who caused you to do this is dead.”
“The loss of your mother can’t be changed, so I can’t take revenge on your father! I suffered for years, and it broke my heart that Haraya chose your father over me.”
“Mother had better go to Father because someone like you doesn’t deserve to be loved!”
King Cyrus looked angrily at Prince Dylan; he raised his hand, and the soldier approached the princess.
“Let’s see how brave you are if this princess is the replacement.”
Prince Dylan was worried because of the princess.
Meanwhile, Adira couldn’t see what was happening because they were far away from Prince Dylan, she couldn’t see their faces properly either.
As the two stared, a black-clad figure suddenly came, and now its sword was pointed at King Cyrus’ neck. “Let her go,” said the mysterious man. Another soldier of King Cyrus was about to come closer, but that mysterious person brought the tip of the sword closer to his neck, and with just a little movement, blood would flow into King Cyrus’ neck.
King Cyrus released Princess Francesca, who went to Prince Dylan and hugged him.
“Who are you?” King Cyrus asked the mysterious man It only looked at King Cyrus before approaching Prince Dylan and standing straight; a new person dressed in black again appeared as he walked towards Prince Dylan. The two people who came were wearing the same clothes and had their faces covered with black cloth.
King Cyrus is confused by what he sees now. “Who are you, and why do you know about the wad between the two palaces?”
The mysteriously arrived man removed the cloth from his face. King Cyrus and Prince Dylan immediately wondered because that mysterious man was Prince Franco.
“Prince Franco?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
The next person who removed the cloth from his face was the person who aimed the sword at the neck of King Cyrus.
They were even more surprised to see his face.
“King Felip…”
He looked seriously at King Cyrus.
“What are you doing here? Are you on the side of the prince?” King Cyrus shouted angrily.
“You forgot that you took the princess; that’s why we are here. And you also have a sin against our clan because you also tried to hurt the princess when she was just a baby,” said King Felip.
Prince Dylan frowned at what King Felip said.
