Fake Princess
Ccxxxix Chapter
"Here is too dangerous, we must get away from here as quickly as possible" Haruki said, standing up, walking up to Egil and holding him.
"You want us to pass through the main gate? It took a little while to open it, what's more," said Izumi, who had been sitting on her back to Niel, grabbing Niel's uninjured arm as she leaned against her shoulder.
"Kou, can you destroy the castle walls, so that we can all escape?"
Kou's body flew upwards through the collapsed roof of the castle. Moving his head to the right and to the left several times, Kou spread out his two wings flying rapidly past our heads.
My eyes drifted to the leaves on the tree above us, the leaves swayed as Kou flew past. Back with a loud ear-piercing blow, I stood staring at the wall that had been destroyed with Kou flying past.
We ran up to the wall earlier, Kou flew back past our heads. I turned around, my eyes fixed on a creature I had just seen for the first time.
The dragon? No, he's not the Dragon we thought he was. His face was like a buffalo with sharp fangs on both sides of his mouth. His red eyes increasingly glowed as the black dense feathers that enveloped his body moved against the wind.
His body was filled with open wounds followed by blood flowing following. I tightly closed my ears as the creature let out a strong scream, Haruki and Izumi bowed down as the creature's scream grew louder.
Kou gripped the creature's neck while lifting the creature high into the air. The creature moves both of its arms to hit Kou's leg. Kou opened his mouth, the fragments of ice coming out of his mouth freezing the creature's head.
Kou flew higher and higher and higher until his figure merged with the darkness of the night sky. I turned around following my two Big Brother who had returned to walk closer to the hole on the wall that Kou had made earlier.
The ground around was slightly shaking as the sound of falling objects sounded extremely powerful. I turned back to stare at the buffalo-headed creature that was lying motionless immersed in the ground around.
Kou came back down and sat down beside the ground that was destroyed by the body of the creature. His head moved closer to the figure of the creature whose body was immersed by the ground...
My head was spinning staring at the head of the creature earlier that was thrown deep into the air by Kou. I turned back to look at Kou who had directed his body to walk towards me. Fresh blood flowed on the edge of his lips and then froze for a moment not to fall to the ground.
The castle which had previously stood firm, was now shapelessly shattered behind it. His white tail with a very pointed tip swerved to the right and to the left as his footsteps approached.
I ran faster and faster towards them, sitting I crouched down beside the unconscious Egil. My hand moved to reach into the leather bag I was wearing while I stared at Haruki who was still holding me Egil with his occasional hand moving to sweep the blood that was still flowing in his head.
"Please hold on you two. Ah shit! Where I put it," I said, giving both my arms a lift the leather bag from the shoulder as I turned the bag over until all the contents fell to the ground.
I saw a small bottle covered in white cloth lying on the ground as I put it back in my hand reaching for a leather bag filled with water and also a wide cloth that I could not cut.
Haruki grabbed the leather bag that was in my hand earlier, opened the bag as he poured the water in it little by little to clean the remaining blood on Egil's head. I put the bottle covered with white cloth next to him as both my hands moved to open the folds of wide cloth earlier.
I took my sword that I had previously placed beside my body, I put it to cut a wide white cloth with an elongated cut. I gave the piece to Izumi who was still busy dressing the wound on Niel's arm, while I gave back my hand cutting the cloth to bandage the wound on Egil's head.
The sound of rag tearing filled the silence, I turned to point my hand at Haruki who was still throwing powder leaves on Niel's head. Haruki gave the bottle earlier towards Izumi who pointed the palm towards her.
The thin piece of cloth that was on top of my palm by Haruki while he directed the piece of cloth was moving around Egil's head. I turned to look at Izumi and also Lux who was directing their palms near Niel's nose, long they both looked at each other without making a sound to each other.
"Nii-chan, Lux," I said softly to them, my words were answered by their silence.
"What's going on here?!" The cry of Eneas broke my daydream, I stared at him who had come down from the horse with all his body full of blood.
"What happened to you, Aeneas? And where's Daisuke?" Haruki also broke the silence.
"Uncle Daisuke," said Eneas, turning his body to stare at the hole in the wall.
Following my gaze at the hole in the wall, Daisuke's dark horse stood firm in the dark of the night. The horse walked slowly towards us as my eyes turned to fall on the seepage of blood dripping by the object he held.
"Your Majesty, I have destroyed everything" he said, looking at us in turn, lifting the head he held tightly to us.
