Fake Princess
CcxvIII Chapter
"Heh, so that's the manner of the Women in your Kingdom, really shameless," she glanced at me.
My body was slightly jolted as the sound of a broken object sounded from my right. My eyes sidetracked on the broken empty plate scattered under Izumi's clasped palm.
"Say it again! Say those words again!" come the sound of Izumi's voice that slightly shook, I stared at her cheeks that looked bright red bowed.
"Don't know..."
Niel's words stopped, I turned my gaze to look at Haruki who had been standing beside Niel. The tip of the small knife he had grasped seemed to be firmly stuck to Niel's neck.
The middle-aged man who was about to move closer to Haruki suddenly lowered his head with one of his hands tightly grasping the small blade stuck on his shoulder.
"If you dare to approach His Highness Prince Haruki, I will remove your head from your body right now, as well" Daisuke's voice sounded from my right.
"Do you think this little wound will stop me from saving my master" Daisuke said.
"Then what about the poison I spread for the little boy who was there?" also heard the sound of Eneas chiming in the heat around.
"Poisons?" said the middle-aged man earlier with a tone that sounded slow.
"Did you see that white cloth hanging from the collar of his clothes? Before I sat down next to my brother, I first sowed the poison I had stored there," Aeneas told him.
"You did your job very well, my sister," I said, chiming in with Eneas' words.
"How dare you!"
"Dad, is it true what they say?" again, Egil's voice chimed in the loud thump that Niel let out.
"Am I going to die, Dad?" continue with a slightly vibrating tone.
"I suggest that you lower your voice, if all your palace guards catch us. Your son will lose his life, and it's all because of you," I said again glancing at Niel who stared back at me very sharply.
"What do you really want? Are you one of those criminals?" he looked at us again in turn.
"How can you call us criminals, and yourself a leader where criminals gather" I replied.
"Then, what do you want?" he said he looked back at me.
"Nii-chan, can I ask for anything?" as I turned my eyes to look at Haruki, Haruki nodded back at me.
"Alright, my brother has given me permission. I only asked for three requests, and you have to grant them all" I said again, turning my eyes to Niel.
"Tell me, what is it?!"
"Give us complete control over all the Knights you have, that is the first condition," I looked at him, let my right arm stand on the table while the open palm held my face.
"Are you kidding me?" he said in a cold tone mixed slowly with me.
"We, maybe more precisely me... Just going to use them to check all the instructions I get, it will also make it easier for me to shorten the time to do so. So how's Niel? Do you approve?" I said to him again.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to her words!" there was a rising voice coming out from the mouth of the middle-aged man beside him, my eyes turning on the edge of his palm on the increasingly wet shoulders flushed red.
"How long will the poison show its reaction?" I said slowly as I gave my eyes a slight glance to the right.
"All right, I get it. I'll accept the first condition" he said, looking back at me.
"Good, then the second condition" I said back to him.
"After all these cases are over, I want all women in the region to have their freedom, without exception. How's it?" I said again as I let my little smile look at her.
"You're just doing it for your own sake, aren't you?" show it to me again.
"True, I did it to free all the women here. No more slavery will be taken by women, if you support it... I'll help you eliminate them all from your territory."
"Then, what's the third condition?" he said back to look at me.
"Give me, give me only, full control of the dungeon," I looked back at him, still looking at his slightly widened eyes compared to before.
"What do you want to do there?" he said bowed in a slightly changed tone of voice from before.
"What do I want to do there... It's none of your business" I said as I moved my face away from my palm.
"I'm not..."
Niel's words came to a halt, my eyes falling on the bowed Egil with one palm covering his mouth. Many times there was a coughing sound coming out with it...
"Dad.." he said very slowly, the sound of coughing came out from between his breaths.
"Egyl. You okay, son?" he said as Haruki released his wrist loop on Niel's neck.
"Egil, very dizzy Dad. My body also feels very cold," he said by again issuing a cough that never stopped.
"Cure my son!" he said in a high tone while his gaze glanced sharply at me.
"I'll do it, if you pull out one sentence... I agree to all the conditions you've applied for," I said as I raised my right hand back to support my chin.
"All right! I approve everything!"
"You chose the right decision" I said with a cynical smile at him.
"Damn it, I really want to kill all of you," he replied looking at me, I turned my gaze to glance towards Egil who also glanced smiling at me.
"You're right, I'm a fucker who has more intelligence than you," I said as I looked up, it looked like Lux whom I had asked to convey all my plans to Haruki was hiding sitting on the wooden ceiling of the room.
