Fake Princess
Ccxv Chapter
Haruki's footsteps were speeding faster and faster. The horse he rode forward split the crowd of humans who moved aside trying to dodge...
Niel drove his horse past us, his long black hair increasingly scattered in the wind. Throwing my body slightly to the side, a tall stone wall seemed to surround a large castle standing on a hill...
The horse we were riding was speeding up the faster we tried to catch up with Niel who had reached the foot of the hill. Niel moved my white horse back to meet us who were walking towards them.
"My body is on this hill, be careful and just follow my steps. Otherwise, don't blame me if one of you dies by a scattered trap" Niel said as he moved back the white horse turned his back to us.
The white horse moved quickly following his directions, the faster it climbed the high hill that was before us. Haruki's moving his horse was speeding up very quickly to keep up with the speed of Niel and the others.
Haruki moved his horse tilted to the right, then moved it again sharply to the left. Haruki's horse came to a halt followed by the footsteps of his horse which retreated a little a few steps back.
The horse ran forward at high speed. My grip on the clothes he was wearing grew stronger as his horse leapt past... I don't know, maybe a trap... Because all I saw was a stretch of land as usual.
The horse returned to speed when the jump stopped. I turned my eyes to the left, the houses that were far away there look very small in the eye.
The horse Haruki was riding stopped again, let me look at the tall gate before us. The golden color that enveloped the gate dazzled my eyes as sunlight accidentally fell on it.
My eyes fell on Niel who was moving closer and closer to the picture. Shouting him loudly several times, an unfamiliar word that I had never heard before was thrown out strongly in his shout...
The gate moved slightly followed by the sound of iron friction accompanying. Niel moved my horse back a few steps... Several shadowy figures seemed to infiltrate the sidelines of the gate that was increasingly wide open.
Niel was still silently unmoved staring at the golden gate open. Turning my gaze to the dozens of men who walked outside approaching, the black armor they wore further strengthened their figures.
The man who was walking led the other man stopped his footsteps in front of Niel. He moved his body kneeling to Niel followed by dozens of other men...
"Your Majesty," they said in unison.
"Stand up all of you" said Niel, the men stood up as he said.
"I'm doing fine. They've all saved me, I'm too tired for you to ask so many questions... I want to rest first" Niel said again, cutting off the words of the man standing in front of the other men.
"All right, Your Majesty... Your servant will prepare all your needs," said the man again with one hand directed to the chest accompanied by a bowing motion of the body he did.
The man stood up again, turning around he looked at the dozens of men who were standing behind him earlier. The man shouted loudly, all the men in armor moved their bodies to the side as if giving way to us.
Niel moved the horse he was riding past the men. I felt the Horse we were riding walking in the footsteps of Izumi's horse who had directed his horse to walk behind Niel.
The look around stunned me as the horse we were riding walked through the gate. Let out my eyes glanced around...
The buildings made of earth looked neatly arranged along the way. All men who pass by wearing armor are no exception for those who are still small.
I turned my gaze to the crowd of children surrounding the two boys who were holding a wooden sword in each of their hands...
The two children fought each other moving the wooden sword that was in each of their hands. The boisterous sounds of some of the children watching were able to attract some of the adult men who were also curious about what was happening...
My eyes fell back on the five children who were bowing their bodies beside the horse that Niel was riding. The bow and several tens of arrows on their backs seemed to bend down following the backs of the little ones.
Niel raised his palm, directed by his palm earlier patting the head of one of the boys. The boy looked down and blushed at the treatment from Niel...
Niel pointed his palm towards the boy earlier, grabbed by Niel's hand by the boy earlier as his body went up and sat on the horse with Niel.
Our horses moved again followed by the sound of scraping iron that followed. I thrust my head back glancing at the swarm of men that greeted us earlier at the middle gate lined up neatly walking following our steps...
"Sa-chan," he said, I put my head back on him who was still looking straight ahead.
"Prepare yourself to call Kou at any time" she continued back to me.
