Fake Princess
CcxlvIII Chapter
"Is there anything left?" Haruki said from behind me.
"All I've brought and I keep in your bags" I said to Haruki, holding my right hand to grab the flying hair and slipping it back to my ear.
The sound of the wind mixed with the flapping of Kou's wings broke the silence. My eyes fell on the crescent moon that was on our right, the light coming out of it was really soothing tonight. Scattering of randomly arranged stars nearby, further illuminating the night sky.
I don't know where we're going next. I don't know what we're going to face next. I don't know what decision we made... Right or wrong.
I'm sorry Tsu nii-chan, I let you down again today.
Sorry, but both my sisters were right. If we delay too long, what will happen to everyone? What will happen, when I can't keep my promise to Lux. Robur spei or what used to be called Lux with flowers of hope... We have to get him back soon.
Though my original intention was only to survive for as long as possible from this World. Though, if I marry Zeki... My life is sure to be okay. I was certain I wouldn't be executed when I was seventeen.
I should have thought of myself. Why should I even bother to carry out a rebellion like this? All my life is guaranteed, I just have to point whatever I want.
Kuma Village, the massacre in the forbidden forest, even this last one... They even toyed with Egil's naive nature to their advantage. Many times I almost die, if I remember... I really made goosebumps.
I'm weary... But when, I helped and they smiled at the help I was doing, my tiredness seemed to be gone. Living in an orphanage, makes me understand... Meaning of unwanted words. Now I understand why I was sent to this world. I don't care if this is said to be excessive or I just look up to myself.
It's like a game for me, fighting with the Empire makes me... I don't know, it can be said to be passionate. I really want to defeat the Emperor, I really want to... Make Takaoka's name, our surname... Remembered until anytime.
"Are you two okay, Sa-chan, Aeneas?" Haruki said again followed by a soft clap on my shoulder.
"I'm fine nii-chan. You yourself how's Eneas?" Reveal me, I give my palm a soft pat on his shoulder that is in front.
"I'm fine nee-chan. If you're sleepy, you can lean on my back," she said, moving her head trying to look at me.
"Thank you, I'll do it later," I said, patting her on the back.
"We're heading south, is there something there?" Izumi's voice also appeared from behind.
"Then, what does that have to do with us heading south now?" Connect Izumi back.
"I heard, in the South direction there is a region whose market is very famous to everywhere. The most complete market in the world, you can get anything there, including human limbs," said Haruki, I thrust my head back trying to turn my head as he spoke.
"Whatchu mean? How is that possible..."
"How is it possible? Everything in this world... Nothing is impossible, even now we are riding a Dragon that is considered impossible for many people," Haruki said cutting Izumi's words to him.
"In this world... There are so many tribes that hide themselves, it can be said like a tribe that has eyes like Izumi. Some of them are very fond of human meat, especially women, some even consume male meat to increase stamina," Haruki said again.
"Did one of your spies tell him?" Izumi's been with him.
"I just read from a book. Do you remember? When Sachi suddenly couldn't see just yet. The Knights brought me a lot of books, and some of them were about it."
"So, you think? We'll get a lot of information about the tribe because in the Market it sells human body parts?" Izumi was heard again.
"Oh, I don't care much about the tribe."
"Then why are you talking about it?" Izumi's been with him.
"I'm just really curious about that market. It could be, we will find something valuable and useful there," he said back.
"Then, what about me? What about Sachi, and what about Lux?"
"Do we look like ordinary people? My eyes and Sachi's, have you ever seen a few human beings who have the same eyes as we have? And Lux, she's a fairy... What would happen if they accidentally found him?" Reveal Izumi with a slightly raised tone.
"If we always back off and back off when faced with problems. Until when will we continue to be under the Empire's rule. Do you think I'm taking you there because I want to kill my own family?!" Haruki replied to Izumi's words in the same high tone.
"If you want to defeat the enemy, know their habits or learn everything they're good at you have to do it. If you don't want to take any risks... I'll have Kou take us all back to the Kingdom. And forget all about gathering allies, I don't mind if you want them, either" Haruki said, I lowered my head to avoid the wind that was blowing slowly slapping my face.
