The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

She put the cloth over her face and grabbed two pieces of wood from under the pillow before jumping off the balcony.

It’s quiet outside, and no more soldiers are walking. Only the soldiers at the palace gate were outside, and there were only two of them. She stepped on the fence because that’s where she was going to go; luckily, some things could be used to jump over the other fence. When she got down, she ran away from the palace.

Adira spent an hour walking and running to reach the small forest. She prepared herself, even down to what she would use to have a little light on the way even though her two sticks were hanging on her back. She’d better be ready because some animals might rush at her.

She gasped for air before starting to walk into the forest. It is very dark, and there is no visible light inside the forest, so it is also scary to enter it at night. The only thing that can be heard is the chirping of insects and her stomping on dry leaves on the ground.

She started looking for the plant with the small flashlight she had with her, but she could only see weeds in that part. She walked further, but there was only grass or other plants, so she stopped looking for a moment and sat on a large rock.

“I hope the sunrise will not catch me while I am searching, because it will be difficult for me to get back inside the palace. I hope I would have found that plant the first time I tried to search,” she weakly tells herself. She stood up again and walked until she got to the darker part of the forest, where the moonlight couldn’t shine because of the big trees.

While she was quietly searching, someone suddenly made a noise near her place. She quickly searched for it with a flashlight, but there were no people or animals around. She was about to go back in search of something when she heard a noise from the trampled, dry leaves.

“This time, I have someone with me inside the forest,” she said in her mind. She took one of her sticks while her other hand held the flashlight.

She was feeling around while walking when she heard a noise again, but at that time it seemed like it was walking fast because of the sound of dry leaves. She didn’t know where to focus the flashlight she was carrying, but her hand stopped at the spot where a tall person was standing looking at her.

Its clothing is black, with a hood on its head and long sleeves; even the hem of its clothing reaches its feet; its face is not visible, not even its eyes.

She frowned at the person who shone the flashlight. “He came back?” she said to herself in confusion, but when her eyes turned to his back, his weapon was now a bow and arrow and not a sword. “Wait, is he the same person who entered my room without permission?”

The mysterious person suddenly ran, so Adira followed without hesitation. The mysterious man ran as if he had no intention of stopping, while Adira was out of breath after a few minutes of running.

She stopped for a moment while holding her knees, but what she noticed was that even the mysterious man had stopped and faced her. His head tilt, which made her frown, seemed to say that she was weak and that he was torturing her.

She stood up again, and the man’s hand gestured as if he were still chasing.

“I wasn’t going to chase this guy, but he seems to be the same mysterious guy I saw while looking at the balcony of Dylan’s room before, but I’m confused if he’s the same guy I saw last night.”

He turned and ran, so she followed him again even though she was very tired, but what she didn’t expect was that she was hit by a tree root and her body sank to the ground. She was gasping for breath while lying on her back, feeling like she had a big wound on her arm.

She had no intention of standing when she remembered that she was chasing someone. When she looked up, she was a little surprised that it was sitting next to her and just watching her. It til its head again before standing up before completely leaving and walking away.

“What’s wrong with that guy?” She winced at the same time. She was about to stand up, but her eyes widened slightly at what she saw.

The plant she was looking for was right in front of her. She smiled and sat down. “It turns out that I’m not unlucky tonight, even though I have a wound. I found the plant I was looking for, and I fell on the ground at the right time.”

She’s taken all the plants she can find that she’s looking for, and she thinks a few days of King Stephen’s dextrose infusion are enough. When she got everything, she almost let go of the plant because of the pain of her wounds, because she had them to her fingers. She first took one of her sticks and put it behind her.

“I can even climb this fence.” Even though she was tired and the wound hurt, she continued walking back. She had also left the flashlight earlier, so she had no choice but to walk in the dark with only the light of the moon. She didn’t even know where the right way out of the forest was, but all she did was walk until she saw the road.

When she came out of the forest, she still barely smiled. “I can finally rest.” She was tired of walking, and when she got to the other side of the palace fence, she closed her eyes for a moment to get the strength to step on the fence.

It was very difficult for Adira to hold on to the fence while carrying the plants, and another thing that makes it difficult for her is her wounds, which are enough to turn her whole arm red from the blood that flows.

“Just a little bit, Adira.”

When she put her foot inside the gate of the palace, she immediately started walking, but she stopped for a moment because she didn’t have stairs leading to the balcony of her room.

She didn’t think about it anymore, and she passed behind the palace. At that time the servants were already asleep, so they couldn’t see her, but she stopped when she noticed Prince Damon sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee and reading a book.

“Why is he still awake at this hour?” she said in her mind. He wouldn’t notice her, so she just continued walking to the bedroom and, without braking, laid down on the bed and let go of the plant she was holding, which was already on the floor.

She bit her lip as she rolled up her sleeve. There was a big wound; it wasn’t deep, but the pain was intense because the skin seemed to peel off a little.

She went to the bathroom and changed her clothes. She has also washed her wound and will just cover her arm with a cloth while sleeping. There is no medicine in the room, so it will be treated tomorrow when she wakes up because only then will she ask General Agustin.

Adira came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. She found a thin white cloth in her bag, so that’s all she will use.

“It’s the mystery man’s fault. It’s like he intended for me to chase him and end up like this.” Her eyes narrowed. “Just by the way his head tilted while I was lying prostrate on the ground, I’m sure he was secretly smiling behind his face mask.”

Adira quickly finished putting on the cloth, then laid down, even though she felt groggy because of the dried sweat. She didn’t even bother to clean her body or wipe it because she was so tired. After a few minutes, her breathing was even, which meant that Adira had fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, when Prince Damon finished drinking coffee, he stood up and left the dining table, but before he had gone very far, he met Prince Dylan, who was frowning as he looked at Prince Damon.

“You don’t know that by this time someone should be asleep, Prince Damon.”

It smiled slightly. “I think my body is not used to the new environment. I don’t get sleepy while lying on the bed in the bedroom.”

“You should try to familiarize your body because I don’t know how long you’ll be here.”

Prince Damon smiled widely. “I know you don’t want me here either, so don’t worry, I won’t be here for long.” He raised his eyebrows. “You, why are you here in the hallway walking?”

“I woke up thirsty. I’m just going to get some water.”

“Is there no water in your room?” it was a surprising question.

“I ran out of water in my room. I must go out.”

Prince Damon nodded. “Then I’ll go back to my room and try to sleep.”

Prince Damon started walking past Prince Dylan, who was still standing. He turned and looked at Prince Damon’s back before walking towards the palace kitchen again.
