Success Injecting The Cure
Adira approached King Stephen’s bed and looked at the table there.
She looked over at the king, who was fast asleep, but she frowned when she noticed something on his lips. She brought her face closer to see more clearly.
Her face became serious as she saw the king’s lips more clearly. “This is bad; that person continues to pour poison into the king’s mouth even when he is asleep. It is obvious from the lips that are almost purple as if he has been punched several times.”
She moved to the other side of the bed and looked at the dextrose, but she stopped, was stunned for a moment, and thought, “The poison liquid entering the king’s vein may be also infused.”
She looked around inside and stopped at one side because there was dextrose there that hadn’t been used and syringes. It will not be seen if the person who enters is at the door and only goes to the other side, and if it happens to go to the side where the dextrose is, it will only be seen if the person looks at a bag that looks like the dextrose was deliberately hidden and the syringe that she saw.
She took the dextrose and syringe and stared at them. “Did the doctor put them in a hidden place on purpose so they wouldn’t be scattered?” She said this in surprise, but she didn’t waste any more time and quickly moved back to the side of the bed. Maybe someone will come in and see her unless it’s General Agustin.
She removed the dextrose with half the contents and replaced it with a new one. Even if she doesn’t change the hose, it’s okay because she will inject some leaf juice to mix and flow into the king’s vein. When she finished changing, she took out the small bottle. Using the syringe, she took all the contents of the bottle and injected them into something where liquid drugs are injected with a syringe. At first, the hose was green, but later it became transparent again.
“The leaf I got should have been enough for a few days, and I hope that in those few days, King Stephen will give a little hope that his condition will gradually improve.”
She sat for a while on the sofa there and thought about who the traitor was that entered King Stephen’s room. “Only Prince Dylan, General Agustin, and the doctor get in here and-” She remembered another. “Tasha, the palace maid, also came in here while I was under the king’s bed.”
She leaned back and closed her eyes. “I’ll only know if I watch here 24 hours a day, but that’s impossible.”
A few moments later, she stood up and was ready to go out. She turned to the king for a moment. “It’s time King Stephen woke up for your son.” She smiled slightly and left the room. She quickly went down the stairs. Even if she gets caught tonight, she’ll be treated just as a soldier because she’s wearing their clothes.
While she was walking up the stairs and barely looked at the step of the stairs, she bumped into someone, and she could feel the pain because it touched her two arms, so she felt slightly more pain.
She looked up, but it was as if time stopped when she saw the person she bumped into, who was almost a span away from our faces.
“Looks like you’re in a hurry?” it asked. She slowly pulled her arm from his hand. “Can’t you talk, soldier?”
The person Adira bumped into was Prince Damon.
She didn’t speak or even answer his question, but her eyes widened slightly when he brought his face closer. “Are you a lady soldier? Your eyes are like a woman’s, and I thought I saw a pair of your eyes.”
She blink her eyes a few times and took a step down the stairs.
He looked at her from head to toe. “It’s a shame you can’t speak, and I won’t know why you’re still awake and walking in the middle of the night in the corridor of the palace.” It looked at her again. “Maybe you’re not an enemy who will suddenly draw a sword to hurt the people here?”
She shook her head several times at his question. “I should also ask him his question. Why is this prince still awake? He should be asleep by this time.”
“You seem shocked, young lady. It’s just a joke; you can go to your place at the top. You’re going to the top of the palace, aren’t you?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She just nodded because there was no soldier in her room or Dylan’s room. Fortunately, there was once a guard at the top of the palace.
Prince Damon took a step down. “I’m also going to leave and sleep.” He turned around again, and she kept looking straight ahead, but she could see his face from the corner of her eye. “Be careful.”
It has gone after he went downstairs. She was stunned and did not step up. “When has Prince Damon been kind to a soldier?” she shrugged. “Maybe he’s sleepy, so he’s kind.” She walked up again and stood directly in front of her room.
What Adira didn’t know was that Prince Damon had stopped and was just looking at her earlier while she was stunned. The stairs there are circular, so Prince Damon can see Adira. He just looked at Adira until the young lady walked up, after which the prince went down the stairs for good.
When she turned the doorknob off the bedroom door and was ready to enter the room, she was taken back because Dylan was on the bed, sleeping soundly.
She just closed her eyes. “The princes who always make my head hurt. Where can I sleep if he is here?” She peeked again, and her eyes looked under the bed. “I have no choice; he won’t see me if I sleep there.”
She slowly closed the door and silently walked towards the bed. She stopped for a moment and stared at Dylan, who was sleeping peacefully. “You sleep peacefully.” Her heart was pounding as she stared at Dylan. “I can’t,” she said, shaking her head.
She crawled to the bottom and lay down. “My back wouldn’t have hurt.” She looked at the bottom of the bed, where she was lying. “His room is beautiful; he slept here. You’re lucky the door wasn’t locked because I wasn’t here,” she said to herself before closing her eyes.
After a few moments, Adira fell asleep even without a pillow or blanket. She didn’t even take off her soldier’s suit.
A few hours later, it was morning, and it was hot outside. Adira has woken up, but she still wants to sleep because she is still very sleepy.
She bought a bed and hugged the pillow tightly, but her eyes widened as she hugged the pillow. She looks up, and what she sees is not the bottom of the bed but the ceiling. She immediately sat down as her heart beat like it was about to come out of fear.
“It only means one thing; he’s seen me.” She couldn’t be bothered when someone came in, General Agustin.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
While her eyes widened, she approached the general, who moved away slightly. “Your sleep is not enough, young lady? Why are you suddenly approaching as if there is a problem?”
“There is general. Last night, Prince Dylan slept here while I did my mission of putting a cure for the king’s dextrose. I was just surprised that the prince was sleeping soundly in my bed. It is not unlikely that he saw me because I slept under the bed and when I woke up, I was already in bed,” she continued to explain.
The general frowned. “What are you talking about, young lady? I carried you back out of your bed, and Prince Dylan wasn’t here when I came in earlier, and I thought maybe you just fell and rolled under.”
She looked at him in wonder. “Impossible. I saw him last night when I came back.”
The general shook his head. “Maybe you were just tired last night; that’s why you had a hallucination, but the truth is that you were so asleep that you didn’t even feel that you fell on the bed.”
She shook her head, and her eyebrows almost met. “But how did you lift me? I should have felt you pull me out from under the bed.”
“I didn’t do that. I lifted the bed cover, and then I lifted you and put you on the sofa after I put the bed back and I moved you to the bed.”
She still doesn’t fully believe the general, but from the looks of it, he is serious about what he says.
“Just eat, young lady; you might be hungry. Your food is already on the small table. Get up there and wash up because Prince Dylan is going somewhere.”
General Agustin has left her, but she still wonders how he managed to raise the hard wooden bed frame and carry her. “I don’t know if it was a dream I saw last night because I was so tired, but I only know one thing to be true, I went to the king’s room to give the first cure.”
