Fake Princess
CCIV Chapter
"Daisuke, what's around the place you mean there's a forest or something?" haruki said, join me in raising my horse to stop following the steps of the horse he was riding.
"What do you want to do in the forest, Your Majesty?" said Daisuke, I looked at him who had moved his gaze to look at Haruki.
"Preparing in disguise, you say not if the leader there most likely dislikes the nobles," Haruki told Daisuke.
"Alright, follow me," said Daisuke in a slightly raised tone, still looking at him who had moved his horse at high speed.
I fastened the bridle I held, my horse quickly followed them. My body leaned slightly forward, my white horse was getting faster and faster at speed following the footsteps of their horses...

"Disguising as a man makes my chest tight..."
"But you still have to do it Sa-chan, this is for your safety. Listen to this brother of yours," he said cutting me off.
"I understand. I'm not resisting, I'm just trying to pour out all my hidden heart" I murmured away from him as I moved my legs back toward my horse.
I lift my foot up on the horse, I pull the bridle that is in my hand. The horse I was riding earlier walked up to Daisuke who had also moved his horse.
Our horses moved slowly, my eyes fixed on the sturdy fortress before us. My eyes were turned to Daisuke who had moved his horse closer and closer to the fortress.
"What do you need to do here?!" said one of the guards standing in front of the gate in a slightly raised tone.
"We are just young men who want to find pleasure" said Daisuke, returning my gaze to him who was bowed to the two guards who stood guard at the gate.
Again I looked at the two guards, their huge bodies were like the door in front of the gate. My eyes fell on their gold-plated spears, and I turned to look at one of the guards who had also looked at me...
"We can't take that excuse for granted" said one of the guards who looked at me earlier.
"What do you mean by this?" daisuke said, again let me look at him who had taken out a black bag from behind the clothes he was wearing.
"Two bags, or none at all" said one of the guards, addressing us in turn.
"Two bags, one from me and one from him" Haruki said, throwing a brown bag at one of the standing guards.
I stared at the two guards who were moving around looking at each other, moving them backwards a few steps. Turning the two of them forward they pushed the gate open slowly...
I give my horse to follow Haruki with Izumi and Eneas to my right and left, I looked at Daisuke who had thrown the black bag in his hand earlier at one of the guards who was still standing behind the open gate...
Back and back, put my eyes around. I stared at the men who were walking downstream, pulling each one of them a woman whose neck was tied in a long chain.
Their bodies looked shabby followed by the dull clothes they were wearing. One of the women looked at me, looking clearly at her slightly bluish eyes...
My body was slightly jolted, when the woman's body suddenly fell forward. I turned my gaze to the man who was shouting loudly at the woman as his hand continued to pull the chain that was still tied around the woman's neck.
The woman moved with both hands, long she was bowed occasionally her hands moved slowly covering her face. I was stunned for a moment, I turned my gaze to the side staring at Haruki who had been lamenting...
I felt the slow grip he had on my arm, still I stared at him who slightly moved his head to the side as if asking me to follow him...
Haruki let go of the grip he had on my arm earlier, I gave my horse a run following the footsteps of his horse that had walked ahead. The grip of my hand holding the reins grew stronger when the sound of roaring cries followed by the sound of lashes knocking on my ears.
I raised my head, which was bowed, looking straight ahead, unlike Metin... Here their lives look more organized as well as the scenery that is often found in other Kingdoms, it's just... The fate of the women, falling to the brink here.
I turned my gaze to Daisuke who was bowing to a young man who was standing beside his horse, I looked at the young man who moved one of his hands pointing backward and then to the right.
Daisuke nodded his head, the young man nodded his head back as he turned around and walked away. I turned my gaze to Daisuke who had also turned to look at us...
"The young man said that if there was an inn in front of him that was worthy enough for us to occupy," Daisuke said, still I looked at him who had turned his eyes to Haruki.
"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Quickly get us there!" haruki said to Daisuke.
"But, as it seems... Here, women are more unappreciated than slaves. And there, there will be more women whose fate is more heartbreaking than the one you just saw Princess..."
"I get it, I'll be fine. Because, all I have to think about now is how I brought home many allies for my father and my Kingdom," I said as I returned Daisuke's gaze staring at me.
