Fake Princess
Cclxxi Chapter
"I forbid you from entering the tournament, Izumi," Haruki said as he walked up to Lux, grabbing her leather bag as Lux flew over to me.
"Why? Why can't I follow him?"
"Sa-chan, can you hit hard behind her right shoulder" Haruki said opening her bag.
"Hit? Like this?" Tukanku, put the powerful punch I did to the back of Izumi's shoulder.
"Are you okay, nii-chan?" I sat down crouching as she suddenly sat crouching with her head bowed beside me.
"Your arm is hurt, isn't it? Therefore, I forbid you to fight," said Haruki stepping closer with one hand moving the rope of his bag slung on his shoulder.
"But I have to do it. I'm fine sa..." Izumi stopped. His head was further bowed as Aeneas pressed firmly on his right shoulder.
"You'll lose your life if you push yourself too hard. I forbid you to do it" Haruki said again.
"I'm already..."
"Give it all to me. I'll win the tournament, just... Just take care of all the wounds on your body," he said cutting off Izumi's words, Haruki walked past us.
"Where are you going?" Izumi moved her head towards Haruki who stopped her footsteps turning towards us.
"I'll have them prepare a new room for us. You guys should rest, look... Remove the blood that runs through your head, Sa-chan," he said, turning back to walk through the bedroom door as I thrust my palm through my forehead.

"Don't move! Or the blood will get out" said Lux flying around my head, occasionally a touch of cold I felt several times touching the skin of the head.
"The blue sky is so wide" said Haruki, my head turned to look at him who was throwing something on Izumi's shoulder.
"Izu nii-chan, are you okay?" I stared at him who was still bowed without a sound.
"I'm doing fine. What about your head and arms?" He glanced at me.
"I'm fine, I don't even realize that my head is hurting like this" I lowered my eyes.
"I didn't expect Uki to even be sound asleep even when things were," Aeneas' voice suddenly sounded followed by his gaze staring into Haruki's bag.
"How much money do we spend? I mean, the cost of the indemnity?"
"Respair costs?" Tukas Haruki answered my words.
"For the room we occupied before," I looked back at him.
"Nothing, even the owner said it was common here. Therefore, the cost of staying here is very expensive," said Haruki binding a cloth wrapped in wounds on Izumi's shoulders.
"Bite to rest, you must be tired, right?" He said again, I turned my gaze to Cia who had fallen asleep in bed.
"Nii-chan, are you sure?"
"Are you worried about me?" The one I answered with a nod of the head.
"I'll be fine. Trust me, I won't get hurt that easily, Sa-chan."

I stood near the door, opening the door slowly. Haruki and Eneas walked inside with a bag full of food in their hands. I closed the door again as I moved my body closer to them.
"What did you guys buy?" Connect Izumi who has sat up, grabbed the bag in front of Eneas.
"It's the honey you need Lux" Haruki said, pointing a ceramic bottle at Lux.
"You need help?" Haruki said again as Lux flew by pulling the ceramic bottle.
"no need. I'm just... Will give food to Uki. No need for help at all," Lux said with an irregular breath pulling the ceramic bottle.
"Then, is there any news you got?" Izumi said with an apple in her hand.
"We were looking for information about the tournament. There's still time to get everything ready" Haruki said, grabbing an apple from the bag he was carrying.
"I almost forgot about it. A letter to you, Sa-chan," Haruki said with another hand reaching into her clothes.
"Letter? For me?" I grabbed a piece of paper in his hand.
"It's still a mystery how you train your message-giving birds. I mean, even in a place like this," Izumi said, biting the apple in her hand.
"It's not me, but Lux. Lux is the reference point for them, so... Wherever we go, the message will still be delivered to us" Haruki said.
I stood up and left them, my legs moving closer to the bed and sitting on the side. My head bowed to the name written on the scroll.
Both of my hands moved unbinding the paper roll. Slowly I opened the paper...
How are you, Darling?
Did you make trouble back? Your father, he's asked me a lot of questions. You're really.
The kingdom of Yadgar has come under my control. I sent them all over the border, I really didn't expect this rebellion to succeed without a single person being killed.
I have kept almost all of my promises, so hurry back.
I'd be very grateful if you didn't tease the other guys on the way. You understand what I mean, don't you?
I'm not good at writing letters, I don't know what else to write. It's just, I'm waiting for you to come home as soon as possible.
I love you my future Queen.
"You look so happy, is that good news from Zeki?" Haruki's voice surprised me, I thrust my head back to look at those who had looked at me first.
"Zeki did it. He is now officially the King of the Yadgar Kingdom," I said, subduing my gaze at the letter from him.
"With that, Yadgar officially became our ally. But, are you okay?" Keep Haruki back.
"What do you mean nii-chan?"
"It's not like being a prince. When he became King, it was fatal to leave his throne just like that even more so if it was the result of rebellion. I mean, you're not gonna meet him... Except, when we visit the Kingdom of Yadgar."
"It's okay. We have our own path to take. Not always meet, it doesn't mean... We won't be together in the end. I'm not right, nii-chan?"
