Fake Princess
CCLVIII Chapter
"Solana, did you see the red thread that I put in the basket," I looked at him as he walked with a cup in his hand.
"I don't know, maybe that little bird's playing it. My dress had been torn to the peck," said Solana stepped closer to the chair beside me and sat on it.
"Do you want me to sew a tear in your dress?"
"No need, Mr. Costa has promised to buy me a new dress. After all, why are you knitting these little clothes, do you want to give them to animals?" He said he grabbed the knit clothes I had prepared for Lux.
"I wanted to make it for my brother, but I'm still not very good. So, I tried to make it in such a small form first," I smiled at him.
"Then, how is your relationship with the Lord going?"
"You mean Costa?" My reply with a nod of his head.
"There is no relationship between us. After all, I'm very supportive of you two," I said again moving my fingers knitting a small scarf for Lux to use.
"You, innocent or what?!" Reveal it, again let my eyes look at him.
"What do you mean?"
"No, it's nothing. I just feel a little sorry for the fiance you always tell me about" she said, moving her body against the chair.
"Indeed why? What to pity him for, "I said back, I took the little knife that was on the table and I gave the knife cut the thread I was knitting.
"I don't know. I envy you, I also want to be loved by someone" she closed her eyes.
I don't know how long we've been here. The relationship between me and Solana is getting better, yeah... Although, I had made his nose nose nosebleed first, because of a misunderstanding between us. But now that I'm good friends with him, my job is to take care of all the needs here a little bit helped by him.
Haruki, Izumi and Eneas help Costa manage his shop here. In fact, the store he has now reap a lot of benefits because Haruki himself who took the plunge helped solve all the problems that had made Costa difficult to manage his store.
They usually go home in the afternoon, by then... I have prepared all their needs. Warm water for them to shower, food and drinks to replenish their energy.
Uki's? She grows bigger and bigger under Lux's supervision. At first we were afraid, because he always slept first. Even Lux and I took turns to keep her body warm.
That was then, now... He has started to learn to fly, we even plant flowers in the room so that Lux can freely take nectar for Uki consumption. Formerly, his body was only as big as my thumb, now he began to grow a little to match the palm of my brother's hand.
The chirp... Chirps.
The sound of his voice knocking in my ears, I thrust my head back to look at him who had been standing looking at me from the top of the stairs. Where's Lux? Did he leave the room without Lux's knowledge?
"Buck!" I screamed at him, looked at me with a little chirp he let out.
"Come here" I said, letting my palms wave at him.
"Chirp, chirp" he said, jumping from one rung to the other.
Cutely.
"The chirp... Chirp," he said as I felt a delicate object touch my feet.
"Uki, you're very clever" I said, lifting up his body that stood looking at me beside my feet.
"Are you hungry?" Saying back, I thrust my index finger down the reddish fine feathers that filled his body.
"We went home" Aeneas's voice followed by the sound of an open door being heard.
"You guys are pu..." My words stopped, I gave my body to stand up to them.
"Izu nii-chan, what happened to you? Your arm," I said walking up to him, I thrust one of my hands into his wounded arm.
"I was just a little bit involved in a fight, nothing to worry about" he said, walking past and sitting on one of the chairs.
"Uki, are you alright today," said Haruki who had half crouched down before me.
"Chirp, chirp."
"His death" said Haruki, grabbing it from my hand, he moved his cheek stroking his head Uki.
"Chirp, chirp," he said again, looking at Izumi who was sitting in a chair for a very long time.
"You want to help Izumi?" Haruki said, walking up he brought the Uki in his hand closer to Izumi.
"What are you doing Haruki?" Tukas Izumi as Haruki moved Uki's body closer to the wound on Izumi's arm.
"He wants to help you. Do you want to reject his kindness?"
"Uki, you can do it now," Haruki said back, I stared at him who smiled broadly at Uki.
I walked up to them, I stared at Uki who was moving his face closer and closer to Izumi's injured arm. Many times his eyes flickered trying to get something out, I stared at him with the roar of heart that filled the body.
"Chirp, chirp," he said moving away from Izumi's arm with his head bowed.
"No need to force yourself. Thank you for worrying about me," Izumi said moving her index finger rubbing her head.
"You've done very well. Grow a little bigger, and help us if one of us gets hurt" Haruki smiled at him.
"You come here," said Izumi, giving my head to follow her gaze.
A little boy was standing behind Costa, his body scarred with torn clothes full of stains that he was wearing. His small body looks smaller with several bones visible on his shoulders, his black hair looks hardened with some traces of soil attached. His gray eyes looked at me with a sad look...
Wait, gray eyes?
"We found him, as the old man dragged his body to be sold to the auction," Izumi said, sounding trembling in the ears.
