The sun finally appeared, and everyone in the pce was awake, except for Adira, who was still fast asleep, but her eyes widened when she heard the sound of the doorknob. She stood up and put her ear to the door, but it started again as if that person were trying to open the door.


    Meanwhile, the person doing that is Prince Dn. In the few months, he didn’t go to Adira’s room, now he felt the need to go there again because he always went out to see Princess Francesca, but he didn’t expect that when he went to Adira’s room again, it would be open.


    He tried again to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn’t turn. Prince Dn frowned. “Why is the door to this room locked? This is the first time someone has locked a door in the pce,” he said to himself in surprise.


    Prince Dn didn’t stop until he opened the door. Adira just sat on her bed again and after a few secondsid down again to sleep; in her mind, the door was locked and couldn’t be opened easily.


    General Agustin was moving towards the prince’s room, but he saw it opposite Adira’s room, so he moved quickly and approached it.


    “Dear prince. What are you doing across that room?”


    Prince Dn looked at him. “It’s good that you’re here, general. Why can’t I open this door anymore, it makes me wonder why?”


    “W-what is it, dear prince?”


    “What?”


    The general stood up straight. “The key to this room is inside. The maid must have cleaned it and identally locked the door. I didn’t even try to open it because it wasn’t being used. I just left it locked.”


    “But in general, I want to go inside.”


    General Agustin’s eyebrows met. “What are you going to do inside and why do you want toe in?”


    The prince’s grip on the door lock tightened. “To rest,” he answered briefly.


    “You have a room where you can rest, dear prince. Just go there because this room can’t be opened right now.”


    He let go of the doorknob and looked at the general. “When this room is opened, let me know right away.” General Agustin just nodded, and his eyes followed Prince Dn as he walked away from the room. The general just shook his head and looked at the bedroom door before leaving in front of it.


    Meanwhile, in the pce of Paradise Castle, while King Felip was practicing his sword, he thought of teaching his daughter Princess Francesca how to use or handle it.


    A few momentster, Princess Francesca approached her father with a frown on her forehead. “Did you call me, father?”


    King Felip stood up straight with his sword buried in the ground. “Yes.”


    “Why, and what is the reason?”


    King Felip looked into the eyes of the princess. “Time to teach you how to wield a sword.”


    “Sword?” said the princess while frowning.


    “We are known to wield the sword well, and I have been called the “King of Swords” by the other pces because of the unique style of using it. Now, I have chosen you as my sessor in that title.”


    “W-why did you choose me, Father? Prince Franco is there to take over, and I’m a girl and he’s a boy, so he should be the one to teach, not me.”


    King Felip shook his head. “Whether you are a man or a woman, you must know how to fight, my child. If you always use gender to defend yourself, someone will get hurt. There is not always someone watching over you so they can face the bad guys. You better know something at least yet; you are not the best.” The king smiled a little at his daughter.


    Princess Francesca did nothing at her father’s request; that’s why she changed her clothes to act better, but just by holding the sword, she could no longer lift it to protect her father’s sword.


    A few minutes ago, Princess Francesca gave up. “I don’t want to be my father; I’m having a hard time!” she said breathlessly.


    King Felip’s eyebrows met. “We haven’t had an hour; are you tired?”


    “Only Prince Franco you can teach; I’m a woman to handle something like this.” She even raised the sword as if she still hated it.


    King Felip sighed and looked away. “He knows how to use the sword, but he didn’t get my skills in handling it, so maybe you are the answer; you inherited that trait of mine.”


    “But father, I don’t like wielding a sword.”


    King Felip looked sadly at his princess. He slowly walked to Princess Francesca and took the sword she was holding.


    “It’s just too bad that even one of you and Prince Franco didn’t even get my sword skills.” He smiled but didn’t reach his ears before turning his back on the princess.


    “Father…” The princess was about to try to follow King Felip, but she stopped because she knew he was sad.


    Princess Francesca decided to enter the pce again, but she stopped when she caught sight of the top of the pce. Prince Franco was there, just staring at the princess. They stared at each other for almost a minute when Prince Franco suddenly grinned, while Princess Francesca frowned at the change in his expression.


    A few momentster, Prince Franco left the top of the pce while Princess Francesca was still looking up.


    Meanwhile, inside the pce of Paradise Castle, Queen Alice is preparing her dressing gown while her bedroom door is slightly open. At that time, Prince Franco was about to go to his room, but he stopped when he caught sight of the door to his mother and father’s room. He approached and pushed the door, which Queen Alice turned to.


    She smiled at Prince Franco. “You need something, son?”


    He looked at the bed with the clothes that his Queen Alice had chosen. “Do you need to go somewhere, Mother?”


    Queen Alice again continued to adjust the clothes to make them look good. “Yes, there is, Prince Franco.”


    “Why are you the only one preparing? I saw my father practicing outside with his sword, and he was only wearing practice clothes.”


    “This time he did not apany me when I left the pce.”


    Prince Franco frowned. “But mother, it is dangerous for you to travel alone. Let me apany you where you are going.”


    His mother smiled big. “Thank you, my child, but I have someone with me, and I am not alone.”


    “Who?”


    Queen Alice was confused. “Your sister. Did you forget that she was here?”


    His eyebrows met even more. “Where are you going?”


    “In the pce of Stalwart Castle.”


    He was stunned by what his mother said. “I didn’t hear there was an asion to go to Stalwart Castle?”


    Before answering his question, Queen Alice first hung up the clothes she had chosen to wear. “Because there’s no asion. I just need to talk to the prince of Stalwart Castle.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “About what?”


    “We’re going to talk about when Princess Francesca’s wedding will take ce.”


    Prince Franco’s face was rmed. “Why are you going to their pce while his father is still sick? It is better to discuss that matter when the king of Stalwart Castle is in good health.”


    Queen Alice sighed. “That’s what I would have liked to happen, but your sister wants to speed up her marriage with Prince Dn.”


    Prince Franco’s eyebrows met again. “Can’t she wait for that sacred wedding?”


    “Maybe your sister wants to be brave enough to be independent, even though I don’t want that to happen, but I also don’t want her to be angry because I don’t want to.”


    Prince Franco clenched his fist and trembled a little. “Tell me the truth, Mother. How many percent can you give me the answer that she is my missing sister?”


    There was anger on the queen’s face. “Why did you ask me about that again? You know one hundred percent that I answered your question!”


    Prince Franco smiled, which turned into a softugh, while his mother frowned.


    “I don’t believe she’s the missing princess because I haven’t seen anyone else who can prove that she’s Francesca.”


    Queen Alice rubbed her forehead while closing her eyes. “It’s been almost a month. You still haven’t epted that we found her.


    “No!” he interrupted what his mother was saying.


    Queen Alice’s eyes were red from the suppressed tears. “Don’t raise your voice at me, Prince Franco. I’m still your mother, and I’m still the one who will obey the two of us!” Queen Alice’s lips quivered with anger.


    While Prince Franco’s tears are on the teary side, his facial expression is still brave. “If you are right that she is indeed the real princess, with the youngdy with us now, you must feel the same way I do that she is not my lost sister.” He turned and was ready to leave. “It’s good that we can be sure first, Mother, because it turns out that my suspicions were right. The real princess will be hurt in the end because someone else is in her position that she should be in.”


    Prince Franco walked away, and Queen Alice was left with silent tears.
