Fake Princess
CcxxVII Chapter
"So, what are you doing?" Izumi continued to look at me.
"Nothing, we didn't do anything" I smiled as I watched my two brothers take turns.
"Then there was blood on the floor. How do you explain it?" haruki said back to me.
"I accidentally hurt my own hand. But now it's fine," I said as I continued to address them.
"He lied to Dad. That woman, not a human," Egil continued chiming in on my words, I thrust my head at her.
So stupid. I wanted to save her, but...
"Sa-chan, are you hiding something?"
"I dare to hide something from you, nii-chan," I said looking back at her.
"What do you mean Egil?"
"His hand hurt Dad. But, but..."
"But?" Niel continued to look back at his son who was still hiding behind Tem's back.
"Your hands!" Haruki pointed his palm at me.
"I told you, I wasn't hurt at all, nii-chan," I said as I lifted my palm over her palm.
I turned my gaze away from Haruki's gaze. My eyes were slightly closed as I felt the grip he had on my arm strengthen. I bit my lips back slowly when the sound of breathing came out from behind his lips.
"My sister wasn't hurt. He did like to joke, actually the blood dripping from his palm was not his blood. You were fooled by him" said Haruki, turning his eyes to look at Egil and Tem.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Instead of me asking the two of you, what did you do to my sister?" Haruki told Egil to him.
"Nii-chan, you must have some news to tell me, right?" I cut off the conversation between the two of them.
"We got word from prison" Izumi replied to me.
"This fast?" Many wonder.
"One of the men suddenly had convulsions without cause. So, the guards asked you to check it in person," Izumi said back.
"Me?"
"Because you gave them the arrest plan. So they trust your abilities a little bit" Niel said.
"Is that so? Alright. I'll change my clothes for a while" I turned to walk away from them.
"We're waiting for you at the gate. So hurry up and get there!" Shouted Izumi, my palms waving slowly back to answer his words.

"Lux, are you ready?" I looked at him who was still sitting on the table.
"I'm ready. The old one is just waiting for you" he said, flying towards me.
"Lux, have you prepared everything?" My welcome, I thrust my hair to the side so that she can easily stand on my shoulders.
"I have prepared everything. It's just, I'm still not too sure, it's going to work or not" he said, re-puzzling my hair was scattered over his body.
"War is the same for you, right? So just enjoy it, the poison I made is very strong to kill a lot of your enemies," he said slowly to me.
"Do you remember the first time we met Lux?" Reveal me, I put the rope bag I was holding past my head and landed on my shoulder.
"You were so annoying back then," he said in response to my words, I turned my body around to walk towards the door.
"You are the same. But I never thought I'd be as good friends with you as I am now, Lux."
"I too. I really couldn't imagine being able to be friends with humans like you and others."

"You've been a long time! Izumi shouted from the horse he was riding.
"I have to prepare something first. So sorry..."
"Well, where's my horse?" My welcome stopped the steps beside the horse Izumi was riding.
"All right! I won't let you ride alone in the middle of the night like this" Izumi said back to me.
"But, don't we go together?" I asked astonishment to look at him.
"Follow what she said Sa-chan. You must understand, how stubborn your brother is that one."
"alright. Your hand is Izu-nii, your horse is a little higher than my horse or Haru nii-chan's. So I had a little trouble riding it," I said pointing my palm at him.
The palm of my hand was taken by Izumi as both of my legs moved up her horse. His dashing black horse seemed to fuse with the darkness of the night, completely matching his sturdy figure.
"Hold the strong one" he said, moving his head trying to turn back.
"I understand nii-chan," I said directing both of my hands around her waist.
"Then, we go first."
My body was slightly jolted as the horse we were riding suddenly moved at high speed, getting faster and faster walking down the forest left the main road.
"came-chan. Where do you want to take me?" My words further tightened my grip on the robe he was wearing.
"We're going through a detour. We are worried about a trap if we go through the road that we usually go through," said Izumi, increasingly speeding up the footsteps of his horse.
"So, will they be used as bait?" Reveal me, I thrust my head towards the right and left which were still covered in pitch-black.
"If they do, leave everything to Haruki, do you underestimate his abilities?" Izumi's voice sounded again.
"I understand nii-chan."
"Lux, how are you?" My welcome back, I put my head back straight ahead.
"I'm doing fine. Izumi!" Lux was heard.
"What's wrong?"
"If we've got there, and we can't control the situation. You know what to do, right?"
"I get it, leave it all to me" he said in response to Lux's words.
