Fake Princess
CcxxVIII Chapter
Izumi stopped the pace of the horse we were riding, the stronger my embrace became as the horse raised both of its front legs. Izumi moved her head left and right, the moonlight that pierced through the leaves a little helped me see in the darkness.
"Sachi, get off the horse right now!" Izumi whispered slowly to me.
Without asking much, I followed his orders down from the horse. My body fell backwards, I patted Izumi's shoulder that was piercing my body. Izumi moved her body slightly as her eyes moved to the right and left like she was looking for something.
"Nii-chan, you're so heavy," I whispered back to gently hit her right arm.
"Shut up! Don't say anything! Don't you know, the arrow almost went through your head" he whispered back in my ear.
The arrows? When's? I didn't see anything.
"Crawl over slowly, we'll get out of here soon," Izumi whispered back, my body slightly moving as my right hand pulled slowly forward.
I thrust my body around on all fours following the sound of grass friction before me. Many times I was bitten by my lips when my palms accidentally touched various... I don't know, maybe the rocks are scattered all the way.
"Sachi," Izumi said very slowly.
"What is nii-chan?"
"On the count of three, I ordered you to run straight ahead" he said, returning the glare of his shining eyes at me.
"What about you, nii-chan?
"I will attack those who are hiding secretly" he continued speaking slowly to me.
"You want me to be the bait to distract them?"
"I will make sure that no danger will ever come near you" he whispered back to me.
"I don't mind it, nii-chan. Make sure, finish them all before my breath runs out because of running," I said as I squatted beside him.
"I understand. Run away!" Reveal it as I feel a soft pat on my back.
I urge my body to run as hard as possible leaving Izumi. My head felt reluctant to turn back, my eyes were only fixed to look forward and forward through the little light produced by the moon.
My footsteps stopped suddenly, I thrust my head into the arrow that had been stuck on the tree beside me. My breath moved more and more irregularly, sweat flowing back down my palm.
"Sachi, down!" Lux shouted from beside my ear.
I followed Lux's cry, my body slightly jolted as an object rammed into the tree beside me. The arrow that was once only one stuck, now increased in number to two.
"Are you okay?"
"My body is small, I can hear the slightest sound. Forget it first, hurry up and run back, "he said, I bow my head to the direction the arrow was heading, I felt a little relieved as Izumi's gray eyes looked at me from a distance.
Again I gave my body a run, faster and faster without caring for my breath anymore. I bowed my body to the left, occasionally turning my gaze back to the two burning torches that were trying to chase me.
My footsteps grew faster and faster, my feet stomped firmly on the ground while jumping I tried to reach the tree branch in front of me. I gave my hand back stronger to hug the branch of the tree, as I lifted and I put my feet up to reach the branch of the tree.
I sat hiding on the tree branch, my eyes still staring at the two torch flames that were approaching. I thrust my palm into the knife tucked in my right foot, my arrow and sword left in the castle... I'm really stupid, for being too casual.
"Where is he?" Said one of the men stopping his steps, his torch-beamed face was a little obvious.
"I'll look for him to the right, then you to the left. If you find it, just kill it as ordered by you, "another man said as he turned to the right to leave his friend.
Still I looked at the other man, he still stood still not flinching. Long as he stood down, my eyes were turned to the torch in his hand which suddenly fell to the ground.
The fire that flowed from the torch, creeping burning the leaves that surrounded it. The man's body suddenly fell forward, motionless as it had been when he stood up.
"What are you doing? Quick run!" Lux suddenly flew over.
"Lux?" I asked in astonishment, I asked my palm to reach out and touch the shoulder where he had been hiding before.
"I have planted some poisonous needles on the man. Run fast, you fool!" The bridge kicked me gently on my forehead.
"I see," I said, I thrust my body into a jump from the top of the branch.
I still stared at the completely unmoving body of the man, as the fire from the torch he was carrying crept near him, he still did not budge.
"Did you kill him?" Revealing my running away from the man earlier, let my eyes glanced at Lux who was flying beside me.
"Maybe. I don't care about other humans except you guys" he said, flying close to my shoulder.
"Do you know which way we should go Lux?" I told him I was moving my running footsteps faster.
"I don't know. Just be straight, if you go back to the road before. I don't know how many more enemies are waiting for him there" he said back beside my ear.
"You're the..."
My words stopped, my mouth shut tightly by something. Someone or something pulled my body to the side, I thrust the knife I was still holding quickly behind me. The movement of my hand was stopped by the strong grasp that he was doing...
"Shut up!" His whisper was soft in my ear.
