Fake Princess
CC Chapter
My white horse stepped slowly down the not-so-steep cliff in the forest, turning my gaze through the trees staring at the high mountain that was still a little far in view...
I moved my horse to follow Izumi's horse, and I stared at the old man who moved his finger to the right... Back I turned my gaze to her who was slightly bowed looking at Izumi who was standing beside her.
Izumi moved her head back to look straight ahead, I followed her steps that had walked away pulling along with her horse. The ground on the path below the cliff looks wet...
My horse stepped very slowly down the road, occasionally I bowed my head staring at the ground towards Izumi who also walked very slowly beside her horse.
The smell of burnt flesh pierced my nose, my head moved involuntarily following the scent. Let my horse move following Izumi who had also pulled his horse towards the smell of grilled meat earlier.
The smell of the grilled meat filled the air, again I put my horse closer and closer to the puff of black smoke rising in front of us...
My head moved involuntarily turning to the Grandfather who had been clapping his hands repeatedly with a tone of clapping that sounded uncharacteristic.
"You don't worry, it's a gesture to all the villagers who came back. If I don't do it, we will be attacked by the guards guarding the village" said the Grandfather, looking at him who had turned his gaze to us in turn.
My body gasped softly as the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, my eyes staring at the bushes of leaves before us that were split in two...
A large man wearing only a piece of cloth covered his lower body came out of the bushes. I turned my gaze as soon as possible to stare at the pointy spear he was holding.
"Who are they?" said the man, I gave my head to look at him who had looked back at us.
"Guests, they want to meet with the chief" said the Grandfather replied to the man's words.
"Why did you meet our chief?" reply the big tall man to us.
"We don't know what we're here for, we just came here because of an order" Haruki said, moving his brown horse to walk up to the man.
"Governance? Siaan's orders..."
"What's wrong? Why did you open the way for so long" came the voice of the man who cut the words of the great guard, again, I turned my gaze to a man who was also a tall man like the guard just standing behind him looking at us.
"They want to meet the chief" said the previous guard, pointing his spear at us.
"What do you want to do come see our chief?" the new guard came.
"We can't answer questions from you, it's just... Allow us to meet him," Haruki replied.
"But no matter what happens, we have to see him" Haruki said back to him.
"I won't let you do it" said the man as he walked closer with the spear he pointed at Izumi.
I turned my gaze to Izumi who had let go of her hand on her horse's harness, I stared at her who had drawn the sword on her waist while she pointed it at the guard.
The guard raised his spear high and quickly pointed it towards Izumi. Izumi raised her sword holding the spear swing from the guard earlier...
My gaze was distracted at the other guard who was also about to raise his spear closer to Izumi. Let my hand reach for the bow on my back...
I grasped the bow of the arrow with my arrow while telling me that the arrow had shot stuck in the spear shaft that the guard held...
The guard stopped his movement, he stared at me by him with his eyes wide. I looked at him who was running towards me...
The spear in his hand came running closer and closer towards me. My eyes closed, I stared at the back of Haruki who had been sitting on his horse behind me...
The sword in his hand looked shiny reflected a hint of light that pierced through the leaves of the tree. My day moved his horse closer and closer to the guard...
"What is this?! What's going on?!" a male voice came back, I bowed my body to the side while I stared at the guard who had been silent unmoved.
"Who are y'all? What do you want to do here?!" revealed the middle-aged man again, I still stared at him who was standing in front of the ten men behind him.
"We just want to meet with the chieftain" Haruki said.
"Tribal head? What do you guys want to do? Why do you want to see him" said the middle-aged man again.
"Our father ordered us to come here," Haruki said again to him, turning my gaze to look at him who was still staring at the middle-aged man.
"Dad? Who's your father?!" he shouted back, I thrust my index finger gently pressing my ear which was slightly jolted at his cry.
"Do we have to tell you all that?" haruki is back.
"Of course, we don't let our tribe chief meet strangers like times..."
"Kudou Takaoka. The king of the Kingdom of Sora, Takaoka Kudou directly asked us to come here," Haruki said cutting off his words.
