Kidnapped

At almost midnight, the area around Adira's warehouse is quiet as some people slowly approach her house simply to find a way to get inside. The mysterious men were lucky because the warehouse had a large window that was broken, and a person could fit through the hole, but a ladder had to be used to get to that window. The men wearing black face masks found a way into the junkyard at the back of the warehouse, so they used that as the only way they managed to get inside. Slowly, they couldn't create any noise while going inside. They were lucky because Adira was tired, so she didn't feel that someone had entered her house.

The men started to look for Adira, and it wasn't long until a man saw Adira sound asleep and didn't feel that there was anyone near her. He put yellow medicine in a handkerchief from a small bottle and slowly brought it closer to Adira's face, quickly covering her nose. She woke up immediately and tried to remove the handkerchief from her nose, but she immediately fainted because the medicine she inhaled in the handkerchief was too strong, so she gradually lost consciousness.

A man entered when Adira was unconscious. "You're done?" he asked of the man who put the medicine in the handkerchief.

"Yes, pick her up so we can leave right away because the place we will take her is still far away."

The man immediately followed and picked up Adira, as if it were a dress that was just slung over his shoulder. They immediately left until the medicine had an effect because they would have to travel a long way before going to the person who ordered Adira to be taken.

The sun was rising, and Adira was slowly waking up. She felt like she had been sleeping for a long time.

She slowly got up and closed her eyes a few more times to finally keep her eyes open, but she stopped and frowned at what she saw inside the room because it was a big room, the size of the bed, and there were beautiful things on display in the open cabinet. She looked up and saw the big chandelier on the ceiling. She also noticed that there was a thin cloth hanging on the bed because the right side of it was tied, so she could see the things inside the room.

She frowned. "Am I still asleep, so why is this what I see right now? This is not what my room in my house looks like." She gently slapped herself several times because maybe she was still asleep and she needed to wake up, but when she opened her eyes again, she still saw the same thing, so she immediately got up and got ready to leave that room, but suddenly an elderly man entered through the door.

"You're awake, young lady. Come with me to answer your questions. I know you're wondering what you're seeing right now. "

She frowned. "Where am I? Why am I here? All I know is that I'm at home and went to bed early, but why, when I wake up, am I already in another house?"

The old man opened the door more and waited for her to go outside. "You'll find out if you come with me, but before that, do you want to eat? Are you hungry?"

She shook her head a few times, and her face became serious. "Let's go to where you take me, so I can get out of here."

"If that's what you want, follow me."

He started walking, so she followed, and she was really surprised at what she was seeing, even in the hallway they were passing. They stopped at a big door, and two soldiers were guarding it. They were wearing the same clothes as the ones she was talking about earlier, but the design was different. She suspected that the one she was talking to had a higher position. Two soldiers opened the door for them, and they entered another big room that looked like an office.

"She's here," said the old man.

The chair that she can see is not facing them, so she can't see who the person is in the seat yet. "You can go out, general," said a male voice that was still not facing them.

"I am only on the outside, my Highness if you have any orders." The old man turned to face the door, but first, he looked at her and bowed his head a little. When he came out, she was stunned at the voice of the man in the chair calling for the old man to come out. "General?" she said, confused, and looked again at the chair that was still turned back at her.

She waited for a few minutes before that person slowly turned the chair and faced me. She saw an old man, but he was dressed differently. He looked more like a king. Her eyes moved to the top of his head because he was wearing a crown.

"Good morning, young lady. How was your sleep? Did it go well?"

She didn't answer, but he stared at her. "It looks like you're still wondering and wanting to know what's going on right now. Take a seat because we have something to talk about."

She slowly walked closer to his table and sat in the chair opposite him, with only a table in between. "Why am I here?" she immediately asked.

He smiled a little. "I need your help."

She frowned. "What for?"

"Do you accept missions, right?"

"How did you know that?"

He sighed. "I was looking for someone like you, and your name is what people are talking about, so I secretly searched for the gangster whose name is Adira, and then I found you."

"I am not easily found, especially since I'm using something that can't recognize my personality or my face. How do you know who I am?"

"His name is Simon, and he is your partner in missions."

She was stunned. "Then why didn't he tell me that there was a client who wanted to hire my services? Why did I wake up and find myself in this strange house?" Her eyes wandered into that room.

"Now I know, you don't know who we are or the name of my palace. Do you know that there are palaces that stand in a country like ours?"

"No, why?"

"My palace belongs in the place that other countries look up to because of the discipline and peace here."

She suddenly looked at what was in front of her. "Palace, another country?"

He leaned on the chair. "Yes, you are not in your country because you are in my country now."

"How come I'm already in your country? I just slept!" She stood up and gave him an inexplicable look.

"Calm down, young lady."

"No! How can I calm down if, when I wake up, I'm already in another country and a palace? Now you tell me to calm down! "

He closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, but this is your partner's plan."

She was stunned. "Who, Simon?" and he nodded in response.

"His plan is for us to kidnap you because you don't face your clients. But I wanted to talk to you personally, so I agreed. The medicine that deepened your sleep was put in a handkerchief and placed over your nose while you slept. Those who took you had time to bring you here by plane. You traveled for five hours to be brought here by the people ordered by your partner, whose name is Simon. Then, when you come here, General Agustin takes you secretly somewhere. Those people will no longer be able to see where you will be. "

She clenched her fist when she found out. "How important is your mission offer just to bring me here?"

His eyes were sad. "More important than my life is my son, so I need you for the mission I want you to do."

"What kind of mission?"

"To be a bodyguard, train the prince to fight and secretly watch around wherever he goes, whether in his room or his food also."

She thought about what he said. "Why do you need to hire people when you have soldiers in your palace? They can do better because they have weapons. "

He clasped his hands together. "I will not entrust my son's safety to my soldiers because I suspect that there may be people here who are not loyal to me, so it is better to be careful."

"Why does your son need to be watched?"

"I have been receiving letters from unknown people threatening my son's life because he is weak and doesn't know how to fight, so they threaten my son's life. Another thing is that they wanted me to leave my throne, and Prince Dylan didn't take over, even though he is my heir. "

"Why?"

"That's what I don't know right now, and I have no idea who or why this is being done to me when I don't have an enemy in any country or even here in my country."

She folded her arms. "I cannot accept the mission you offer," she suddenly said.

King Stephen also stood up. "I know there is a mission you haven't accepted, especially in a situation like this, but I hope you accept it because I don't have time to look for another person to do the mission, and I will be grateful if the person I hire is good."

She looked into his eyes and saw the pleading for it. She sighed. "In that case, I need to see the prince and how he trains. Only then will I decide whether I will accept the mission or not. If I didn't see any reason to accept it at the time. At the time, I stated that I would return to my home country. You will do it immediately. "

He smiled a little. "You can trust me that I will do what you want immediately, but for now you can see the prince tomorrow morning because he has something to go to today."

"Okay, but if you don't mind, can I use your phone? I just need to call someone. "

He opened a drawer and took out a smartphone from inside. "You know how to use something like this?" she asked.

He smiled big. "Even though we're already in the palace, we know how to keep up with people now. We have an old phone, but we still use it too. "He placed the smartphone on the table near her.

"Where can I go to the part of the palace to call?"

He suddenly spoke. "General Agustin, can you come in for a moment?"

Suddenly, the old man she talked to earlier came in, and she thought about how strong his hearing was and even heard what the king said.

"General, can you take her to the palace's roof? Also, make sure there are no other soldiers there. "

"Okay, your highness." He looked at her and started walking. Before leaving, she looked at the king, who just nodded.

After leaving the room, they went directly to the top of the palace, where some soldiers were guarding the hallway, and then right to the bottom of the stone stairs. They stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "I'll just wait for you here. You go upstairs. Don't worry, there's no one there, even though the soldiers aren't there at this time. "

She nodded and started walking, stepping up the stairs. When she came out, she saw a very wide view, and if she looked down, it was very high where she was.

She didn't waste any more time and immediately called Simon. It took a few rings before Simon answered the call. "Hello! Who is this?"

"This is Adira."

Simon, on the other hand, closed his mouth because he knew he had sinned. "Why were you called?" He's weak on questions again.

"I didn't know you were betraying me, Simon. Why did you do this?" she yelled angrily.

Simon closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Adira. He wants to talk to you, so I'll just find a way to get you there."

She felt dizzy in her head. "How about my mission for Mrs. Torres?"

"Don't worry, I know you'll be back here because of the mission, two days before your mission to her husband."

"I'm telling you, Simon, I don't want this to happen again. How can I go home if I'm already in another country? Also, how did I get in here without a passport? "

"There is a fake, but you got through, so that's okay, but when you come back here, you will use the king's private plane."

She frowned. "What? Even if I use a private plane, I'll still go through the airport before going home and check my passport there." She closed her eyes to the problem Simon had created.

"You did go there without being caught. The case was an emergency because you were asleep, and the thought was that you needed to fly there for your operation."

Her head hurt so much that she had to hang up the phone because the more she talked to Simon, the more it hurt. She just blew out the air and left the top of the palace.
