Fake Princess
Clxiv Chapter
"Close to all of you" said Adinata while holding the top of the fruit that he said Durian earlier and moved his hand to open the fruit slowly.
Instantly giving off a smell that I myself could not explain, I lifted my palm tightly shut my nose just like Izumi had done before while I was putting my face hiding behind Haruki's shoulders.
"Why are you guys covering your nose? The smell is so sweet, isn't it?" adinata said back with a smile he looked at us alternately.
"Try it" said Danurdara following, I turned my gaze to her who directed her hands towards us.
Let me look around, everyone is silent. My eyes fell on Julissa who looked pale with both hands covering her nose.
"Sa-samantha, you-you have to try it. Bu-fruit i-it's ra-it feels like ma-sweet da-and e-tasty once in a while, you-you sure liked it," she said, I bestowed my gaze at the smiling Danurdara staring at me.
"Close to Hime-sama, my sister wants you to try it" Adinata said, raising her hand and waving her palm at me.
"Nii-chan, save me," I whispered softly behind Haruki.
"Did Dad teach us to refuse the banquet the host gave us?" haruki whispered back, I looked at him who was still looking straight ahead.
"Hime-sama," Adinata said again, this time implied a cold smile carved on her face.
"Who is Hime-sama? Do I know him?" I said while trying to take my eyes off her.
"Samantha-chan," he said again, bowing me while trying to move with one hand still covering my nose. Stepping over I very slowly approached Danurdara and sat down beside her.
"Which one should I eat?" I looked at Danurdara with a trembling voice.
"This is what you eat" he said, pointing his fingertips to pick up the yellow fruit, and he pointed it at me.
Put my face closer to the fruit that Danurdara was holding, my stomach felt stirred up as the aroma grew stronger piercing the nose. My eyes watered involuntarily as I let go of the palm of my hand that covered my previous nose...
I pushed my face closer to the fruit as I opened my lips slowly closer to it. The smell of the fruit seemed to be directly piercing into my head when my lips stuck to it, I let my mouth bite the yellow fruit held by Danurdara.
Drooping down on me with my palms shutting my mouth, my tears were rushing out as the dizzying scent of fruit filled my mouth cavity. I stood up as I ran down the hut...
I moved my feet faster away from the hut, stopping me behind a big tree. Crouching down while bowing me beside him...
The fruit that Danurdara had given me earlier came back out of my oral cavity. I pat my chest to reduce the nausea that surrounds the esophagus, sitting I lean beside the tree while I give my teeth a motion sweeping the tongue.
I gave my body to stand up, walked me back to the hut while turning my gaze up several times. Ducking me as I put my right palm rubbing against the back of my neck, that dizzying nausea still enveloped my body.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine" I replied Lux's whisper.
I turned my gaze towards those who were also staring at me, moving I approached the wooden stairs that were in the hut earlier. Let me look at the floor of the hut, it looks like the thorny fruit has disappeared replaced by a pottery teapot with many cups surrounding it...
I walked past them without making a sound. Sit me down next to Haruki while I rest my head on his shoulders.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine," I said softly in response to Julissa's audible voice.
"Sorry, I-I don't know ji-if a-aroma bu-fruit i-this makes ka-kalian i-want mu-vomit" Danurdara said, I turned my gaze towards him who was approaching.
"I'm fine, there's no need to feel guilty like that Danur. I was the one who originally decided to eat it" I smiled at him.
"What's wrong?" I said, I bowed my head to Adinata who was looking at me.
"I'm sorry" he said, moving his palms against each other in front of him.
"I'm fine" I told him.
"A-what do you-you want to drink?"
"Thank you," I said as I reached for the cup he gave me, putting the cup of water into my mouth as I slowly drank the water inside.
"You two look very familiar" said one woman, glancing at Princess Khang Hue who was looking at me.
"I mean? With?" I said again as I lowered the cup to touch my thigh.
"Prince Danurdara."
"Me and Danur?" I said again, looking at Danurdara who was also looking back at me.
"Did Princess Julissa not tell you about it?" my connection, I turned my eyes to him.
"Tell me what?"
"If I and Prince Danurdara were lovers, because of that ridiculous rule... I had to let her get engaged to another woman, but as you know... One dead grows a thousand, I have a lot of men's reserves..."
My words came to a halt, turning me towards Zeki who was bowed with the shards of pottery cups in his grasp. His head was looking at me...
"Prince Zeki, your hand." said Princess Khang Hue to take her eyes off me.
Follow my glance at his palm earlier, blood dripping from between his fingers. I walked up to him, sat me down before him as I reached for his wrist held by Princess Khang Hue earlier...
"Open your hand" said I bowed to his palm.
Opening his palm earlier, I grabbed it and lifted up the pieces of clay stuck in his palm. He turned to Julissa, who was sitting beside Adinata...
"Julissa, ribbon of your dress" I said, raising my palm at her.
"Well," he answered, Julissa stood up as the ribbon around her waist was released. Walking he approached as he placed the ribbon earlier in my palm.
I held his red ribbon earlier while putting the ribbon around Zeki's palm. I bowed my hand to tie the ribbon into a knot above his palm, I lifted my head to look at him who was also bowed to look at me.
"I've helped you heal your fiance's wounds, Princess. Make sure you give me a decent fee," I said as I looked away from Zeki, I stared at the stunned Princess Khang Hue with slightly enlarged eyes staring at me.
"Are you shameless!" she screamed, I felt the loud slap she was doing on my cheek.
"Do you also want to tease my fiancee? You're so disgusting! A disgusting woman who runs from one man to another!" he screamed even harder.
"Not allowing?" my words are still down.
Let out my palm that held my cheek earlier while I gave my palm that was circular at Zeki's neck. I stood up as I moved my face closer to Zeki's as my lips touched hers...
I thrust Zeki's head into my shoulder while my palm rubbed his hair. It turned me towards Princess Khang Hue who was still widening her eyes towards me...
"I'm sorry for this disgusting woman like me, who dared to steal a kiss from your fiancee, Princess," I said, kissing Zeki's head in front of her.
