Fake Princess
Cclix Chapter
"Are you okay?" I walked up to him, looking as if he had taken a few steps back.
"We've tried to get him to talk before, he doesn't understand" Haruki turned to look at me.
"So he doesn't understand the language, yes" I said chiming in Haruki's words.
"I'll prepare dinner, but before that... Are you going to follow me?" Tukasku smiled as he put my palm on her.
The little boy hesitantly raised his hand, I slowly pushed it with the palm of my hand. I moved slowly carrying her small body... I don't know how old he is, but seeing his condition like this. Really made my chest tight.
"I'll clean your body, after that I'll cook you a lot of delicious food" I said again as my legs stepped up the stairs.
I walked up to my room that opened the door, I stared at Lux who was lying down sleeping on the bed as I lowered the child from my sling. I sat down crouching in front of him as my fingers moved undressing the clothes he was wearing.
His entire body was covered in scratches, bluish bruises also graced his body. He bowed with both hands firmly grasped, I grabbed both hands earlier and grasped them. Poor little girl...

"Sorry to make you wait a long time" I said back into the room, I stared at him sitting on a chair with a towel wrapped around his body.
"I borrow the old clothes that my sister has, I'll buy you new clothes again later," I said, turning to close the door, giving my body back to walk up to her.
"Come here, I'll wear these clothes to you. You look beautiful, and your eyes... Similar to my sister Izumi," I said, putting the clothes I brought on my dresser.
"Sachi, who is he?" Tukas Lux flew over to us.
"I don't know, but they say... If they find him when he's almost sold to an auction," I said, releasing the towel on his body as he climbed down from the chair.
"His eyes are the same as Izumi's, could it be from the same tribe as Izumi's mother," Lux said as she moved her body to sit on the edge of the dresser.
"Maybe. Do you want to meet him?" I looked at her who was glancing at Lux.
"It's Lux" I said grabbing her palm and then turned it over to Lux.
"Lux" said Lux, grabbing the girl's index finger with both hands.
"Lux," he said looking at me, I replied with a soft nod from me.
"Sachi, call me Sachi," said I kneel beside him, again putting my hands on his clothes.
"Sachi," I said back to her gaze, my hand reaching for her short hair to slip on her earlobes.
"Sachi," she looked at me, I pursed my lips smiling back at her words.
"Sachi, Lux" he said, staring at us.
"Cia," he said, moving his palms gently patting his chest.
"What a beautiful name, it's nice to meet you, Cia," I said, grabbing her hand.

"Whose son is that?" Reveal Solana who suddenly stood behind me.
"They found it when Cia was about to be sold to an auction" I said blowing air on a spoonful of soup in hand and then tasting it.
"That's called. It's the first time I've ever met someone with gray eyes other than my brother, seeing him like that is excruciating" I said, churning out the soup I was cooking.
"Suppit. I'll prepare the table, is the rice cooked?"
"Here you go, help me fill those bowls with rice," I turned to look at him.
"Alright," he turned around followed by footsteps away.
I whipped two pieces of cloth in each hand, slowly lifting up the pot of soup I was cooking. I stepped very carefully near the table, the white smoke billowing from the pot filled my gaze.
"You have come, I have just called you all," I looked at those who walked one by one near the empty seats.
"Fire burn. My favorite," said Eneas lifting a plate with a grilled fish on it.
"Itadakimasu," Haruki and Izumi continued alternately.
My eyes were turned aside at Cia who was silent to them, her hand moving to hold the spoon beside her. As he moved the spoon grabbed the rice just as Eneas did.
"Do you want to try it? Grilled fish?" I said grabbing the chopsticks, let the chopsticks cut the grilled fish in front of him.
"Try it," I said back when I put the grilled fish on the rice in the spoon.
"You like it?" Reveal it, directed back a spoonful of rice towards me.
"Is he okay?" Said Izumi glancing at me.
"He's fine. And also nii-chan, call her Cia. Her name is Cia," I said back to Izumi's gaze.
"Cia," said I who was met with a gaze by him.
"Haruki, Izumi, Eneas, Costa and Solana" I said slowly as one hand moved towards them alternately.
"Ha-ruki, Izu-mi, Ene-as, Co-sta, Sola-na" he said, stammeringly following my words.
"You're doing very well, Cia," I said smilingly with one hand patting her head softly.
"Aita, Ama" he said repeatedly with his head bowed.
"aita? Ama?"
"Dad, Mother. That's what he said," Haruki said chiming in on Izumi's words.
"How did you know that?"
"Your mother, who taught it directly to me," Haruki said again with her head bowed in response to Izumi's words.
"Do you understand their nii-chan language?"
"I can't. I only knew those two words by him first," Haruki continued, grabbing the rice with the chopsticks in his hand and eating it.
"He must have missed his parents" said Aeneas, putting a spoon in his hand as his face bowed to the rest of the rice in the bowl.
"It looks like it's time we get out of here. What if we go back for a walk," Haruki said staring at the three of us in turn.
