Fake Princess
Cclxxvi Chapter
My eyes shifted to Izumi who jumped into the field, the sword on her waist was pulled out as her legs continued to approach Haruki with the crowd of men surrounding her.
Izumi's footsteps halted for a moment as an arrow stuck on her shoulder. Izumi moved her head looking at the man who was holding the bow before...
The man pulled his bow back towards Izumi. I stood up, I stared at Cia who woke up from her sleep with reddened eyes. My body turned to lower Cia on the bench I was sitting on earlier as my hand turned towards Aeneas.
I ran away from Cia and Aeneas both as Aeneas gave me my bow and arrow which I had previously tucked into him. My footsteps stopped in the middle of the stairs, I raised my bow as I dropped the tube with the arrow I was carrying.
Let out the arrows I had picked up earlier from inside the tube clinging tightly to the bow I was holding. Body moving... Aiming at the man who was still silent looking at Izumi from where he stood.
My arrow shot rapidly through the wrist of the man earlier who was still holding his bow. The bow along with the arrow he was holding, fell apart with one of his hands clasping tightly onto his wrist earlier.
Izumi lowered her head, one of her hands moving towards the arrow stuck on her shoulder. He held the arrow with one hand, slowly... The arrow was pulled out followed by the blood that followed.
I lowered my head to reach for the wooden tube full of my arrows that I had dropped on the previous floor. My body moved back and ran closer to the field.
"Don't interfere with my fight!" Shouted Hanbal so strongly, my two feet stopped stepping by his slightly startling cry.
"Your men are a shame" said Haruki, stepping aside to approach Hanbal.
"I apologize for their presumptuous attitude" said Hanbal, walking forward with one hand still clasping his stomach tightly.
"Did you give up?" Haruki said, his hand moved to drag the spear he brought to the ground.
"Don't joke. This is my first time getting a slightly balanced opponent" Hanbal smiled at Haruki.
"Slightly balanced. Heh..." Haruki answered the man with his head bowed.
"Are they your family?" Hanbal said turning his eyes to me and Izumi alternately.
"If you lose this fight and die. Both your families will be my slaves."
"What if... I'm taking you a little seriously" said Hanbal, holding his palm up.
My head suddenly looked up followed by a strong pull on my hair. Both of my eyes glanced at Haruki and Izumi who were looking at me with both of their eyes looking enlarged from before.
My body was pushed forward, my hands clutching bows and tubes containing my arrows were released when I heard the sound of a boisterous Uki coming from the bag I was carrying.
My hands hugged the bag with Uki in it. I lift my feet tightly against the wall in front. My feet that stick to the stone wall, I throw a strong kick against the wall until my body along with someone behind fell backward.
I immediately moved my body to the side and stood up, swiftly... I stepped on the face of the man who pulled my hair before his body could move back.
I ran away from the man earlier as my eyes moved glancing towards Hanbal who was looking at me from a distance. My steps came to a halt, a large man whose wrist I had arrowed before had stood before.
My body turned back towards the previous direction, the man I stepped on his face had also walked over. I glanced to the right, the crowd of spectators just looking at me... They stared, as if hoping for something bad to happen to me soon.
"Sachi," Izumi's cry turned my gaze to the left. I ran to the left, my body climbed over the wall there and jumped.
"Your family is really interesting. A perfect slave candidate" Hanbal said as both of my legs landed hard on the ground.
I took a deep breath, my legs as if they were frozen from the jump. A tingling sensation spread to my head, I was still sitting on my knees with my head bowed without heeding the words I heard just now.
"I don't like to play around, especially with lowly humans like you," Haruki pointed his spearhead at Hanbal.
I stood up, looking at those who were silent again. Hanbal suddenly bowed followed by a strong laughing voice heard from him. The middle-aged man, suddenly fell to his knees before Haruki.
He fell down with one of his hands moving to cover his mouth. Several times he coughed, Hanbal's head was raised again to look at Haruki who was still pointing a spear at him.
Hanbal lowered the palm that covered his face, his lips filled with blood, as well as the palm of his hand earlier. Next to her hand was firmly grasping the wound that was on her stomach, while the other side of her hand was... Wet with the blood he vomited.
"She's dying" Lux said, looking at her who had somehow moved into the bag with Uki in it.
