Fake Princess
Ccxlvii Chapter
"Are you sure this is gonna work?" I said, I reached for the pile of dried leaves that were on my bed while I ripped the leaves into small pieces.
The piece of leaf fell slowly into the small bowl near me, little by little, the pieces of dried leaves began to fill it.
"Lust all of it to me. You just have to prepare everything."
My eyes were still fixed on Lux who was sorting out the leaves for me to tear, occasionally kissed the leaves and then put it in front of me. I don't know... Will this plan work.

"Daughter" said Tsubaru, stepping behind me.
"What's Tsu nii-chan?"
"Are you sure you're okay? I mean, your face looks so pale today" she said, followed by the sound of footsteps stopping behind me.
"I'm doing fine. I was just a bit of a nightmare last night" I said without looking back at him.
I was really tired, I didn't sleep all night, but it was daytime... I helped Lux get all the equipment she wanted, shredding the leaves she needed. I would love to sleep in my room and leave dinner if only... Lux's plan wasn't implemented tonight.
I again stopped in front of the two Knights who were standing guard, they moved simultaneously opening the two-leafed door. Both of my legs stepped unconsciously as the door opened slightly...
Eneas looked at me, I don't know... Haruki or Izumi tell him or not. If not, I'll take her away... How could I leave a smart and talented child like him. The more knowledge he has about the outside world, the stronger and more useful he will be for us in the future. After all, he's our younger brother now.
Both of my feet stepped closer to the chair beside Haruki. A word never came out of him when Tsubaru pulled the chair a little out of the table. I moved to the chair, for some reason... It's just my feeling, or indeed they're all silent without a sound.
The spoon and fork in front, I gave my eyes a few quick flashes while hoping that the slight drowsiness disappeared a little.
My eyes drifted to the puff of smoke emerging from under the table. The plume of smoke was getting thickened and getting thickened up to fill the room.
Both my hands moved quickly to release the spoon and fork earlier, quickly my right hand grabbed the glass filled with water in front as my left hand moved to grab the handkerchief tucked behind the pocket in the skirt of my dress.
The smoke was getting higher followed by the sound of shifting chairs being heard over and over again. Tatsuya ran up to the door, was beaten and pulled back repeatedly but remained unopened.
Tsubaru pulled my hand to follow his footsteps while the other hand moved to cover his nose and mouth. The sound of shifting objects averted my gaze, looking as Daisuke moved pushing the long table.
Some of the glasses on the table fell down as the table moved as Daisuke pushed him. Daisuke walked forward then kicked a few neatly arranged bowls on the floor.
The puffs of smoke coming from the bowl broke in the air as the bowls flew in Daisuke's kick.
The sound of coughing bothered the ears, Egil fell unconscious in Niel's sling. Tsutomu moved closer to the wall with one hand leaning against the wall earlier with Izumi standing firmly beside him.
I gulped the wet handkerchief over my nose and mouth as the smoke re-flowed into the cracks of the windows and doors. My visibility was getting smaller as the smoke filled the room faster.
Bruk!
The sound of falling things was strong behind me, I put my head back. My eye... Can't see anything. The smoke poked my eyes, repeatedly I put my other hand through my eyes.
My cheeks were soaked with tears that never stopped, my head felt heavier and piercing. Back there was a loud sound of falling objects, my body moving backwards. I don't know, could it be a wall or something... Clearly, my body was leaning on him.
The coughing voice of a person slowly approached, the longer the clearer it sounded. My fingers moved rubbing the handkerchief I held before, the moisture that enveloped the handkerchief had slightly disappeared.
"Are you all right?!" There was a faint cry knocking on the ears.
"How are things inside? Is everything safe?!" The voice shouted back followed by the sound of knocking that followed.
The sound of objects shifting back was heard, the biases of light came out little by little from the right direction. Haruki and Izumi's faces seemed to be visible by the light bias going inside, Haruki moved his head to the right and left...
His palms pointed towards me as our two eyes met, I ran up to them. My body was slightly jolted as something grasped my palm, I moved my head towards Aeneas who also placed a handkerchief on his nose and mouth while his other hand held tightly to my hand.
"Prince, Princess. Is this your plan?!" That powerful shout stopped my footsteps, I thrust my head towards Daisuke who was lying face down staring at us.
"What are you guys doing? Have you lost your mind?!" He shouted again, several times his eyes flickered.
"I'm sorry, Daisuke. But we, are almost out of time gathering allies. Tell Dad, don't look for us. Because of us, we will definitely return as his son," Haruki's voice came along, followed by a slow pull on my other hand.
