Fake Princess
Ccxxxi Chapter
We both stepped through the grass at the bottom of the ravine, I felt the pain running through my feet as I felt many small, sharp objects scratching my feet.
Our footsteps both got faster and faster moving away from the dark abyss. Izumi halted her steps, the tighter my hand held on her arm as the lack of light was all around.
"Through here" said Izumi pulling my hand to the left.
The footsteps of the two of us again walked slowly through the darkness of this place. Every now and then the sound of crickets filling around, my two eyes were unceasingly staring up as the leaves on the surrounding trees suddenly moved.
My feet moved faster than Izumi's footsteps when the light biases were far in front of us. The bias of the beam was increasingly visible when the footsteps we both ran quickly down the path that was slightly visible by the moonlight that fell to the ground.
Izumi directed her palm to touch the back of my head, pulling my head back until it touched the front of her shoulder. The smell of blood filling his body made me slightly pull back my head...
"Don't move! In front of us are so many men, hide your face," he whispered, burying my face on his shoulder.
The laughing male voice rubbed my ears, getting louder and clearer when my footsteps only moved following Izumi's direction. The sound of Izumi's heartbeat was getting clearer and clearer along with the sound of male laughter filling the surroundings.
There was a male voice followed by Izumi who stopped her footsteps. My heart rate was speeding up with the cold air blowing through the clothes I was wearing.
"Did you call me?" Said Izumi, the stronger her palm was in my head.
"Remain?" Reply to the voice of the man who knows who.
"Is she a girl? Let us see it" said the man's voice.
"He's mine. I don't like to share with anyone" Izumi replied to the man's words followed by a gentle swab on my hair over and over again.
"Let us see it so that we can tell you whether he is satisfied or not" the man's voice was heard again followed by a loud laughter from another man's voice.
"If you get close, I won't hesitate to kill you right now," said Izumi, walking along I followed her back on the move.
"The man who couldn't help himself was truly terrifying," the voice of the foreign man again sounded as the voice of laughter was more clearly heard than before.
We walked in that position for a long time. Izumi stopped her footsteps again as she released the embrace she had done before. I looked at the face of my brother who turned to the right and to the left ignoring some people who hit his body several times in the crowded street.
"Through here!" Izumi retracted my hand to the right.
We walked back down a quieter road than before. My eyes fell on the crowd of people standing in front of the building that was still smoking.
"Haruki," Izumi said with a slight shout, I turned my gaze to Haruki who was moving her head towards us.
"What's going on? Why are you," said Haruki, moving his body jumping off his horse.
"What's going on? Your bodies... Whose blood is this?" He said again as he directed his hands to hold the clothes I was wearing with Izumi.
"We're attacked. We were attacked on the way here," Izumi replied as Haruki let go of her hand on the clothes she was wearing.
"How much? Howmanypeople? Are you guys all right?" Connect Haruki with a slightly vibrating tone.
"Close Sa-chan! Are you hurt?" He said again as he lifted his palms to touch both my cheeks.
"Fifteen people. Three of them died in the hands of your beloved sister," said Izumi walking closer to Eneas with Daisuke who also stepped closer to us.
"You, really do it?"
"I don't want to waste all the martial arts lessons you gave me. After all, nii-chan, I want to go home with Dad again. So because of that, I won't die so easily. And i'm... Eager to throw away this naive nature of mine for a long time," my words came to a halt as Haruki pulled and hugged my body firmly.
"sorry. You must be scared, right?" Revealing it, I buried my head with a slight nod slowly on his shoulders.
"You're a fool, Haruki. She's our sister, she's not that weak," Izumi's voice came, I raised my head to look at her who was walking closer with a drinking bag in her hand.
"What about you, Izumi? Are you all right?"
"If Sachi alone could defeat them easily. Do you think they can hurt me?"
"Here drink. You must be thirsty, right? Izumi continued to point the drinking bag she was holding at me.
Haruki let go of her embrace, I held my hand to grab the drinking bag Izumi was in. My fingers moved to open the cover that covered the pocket hole as my eyes drifted back to Niel who was screaming from the horse he was riding.
"What's really going on here?" Izumi's words distracted me, I raised the drinking bag earlier close to my lips while my eyes were still fixed on her.
"Come, when we get here. His prison has been burned," Haruki said, casting a glance at the pitch-black ruins of the prison.
