Fake Princess
Cclxxx Chapter
The train stopped and the sound of bells was heard. The carriage door that was beside us opened, Haruki was standing beside the door with his hand pointing towards me.
"Cia," I said, turning to call her, Cia turned her back and walked over.
Haruki grabbed Cia and then carried her, I moved down by holding Haruki's hand that was still pointing towards me. Haruki took his hand off me as it moved back towards Yoona who was still sitting in the carriage.
"Don't waste my time," Haruki said looking at her, Yoona glanced at me which I replied with a soft nod.
Yoona grabs Haruki's hand and moves her body down the train. Yoona released her hand at Haruki while her head was raised looking at me.
I walked up to him, I grabbed him and I pulled his hand slowly. He followed my footsteps from behind, I turned to the side as the sound of Eneas grimacing in pain, appearing to see Izumi again hitting Eneas on the head... I don't know what they're really fighting about.
We walked into the house when Jabari opened the door. There is nothing special about this dark house, just a wall of dirt with several rooms inside.
"Just give us one room to occupy, the rest... I don't give a shit. After all, this is your home not ours" Haruki said lowering the body of Cia he was carrying.
"You guys..."
"We can't stay here forever. Sooner or later, we will continue our journey. Does this room occupy?" Haruki continued to cut Yoona's words with one hand raised pointing towards a brown door in front of her.
"Nobody occupied that room. But" said Yoona, she stopped.
"What's wrong? Don't convolute, I want to get some rest immediately," Izumi chimed in with one hand scratching the back of her head.
"There's nothing in there, just an empty room" Yoona said back to the two of them.
"It's okay, it's even better" Izumi continued walking to open the chocolate door and walked inside.
"What about you, Sa-chan?" Haruki stopped his footsteps at the door.
"I'm hungry, cook something good for us. Aeneas, comein!" Haruki continued to step in, followed by Eneas who walked behind him.
You just have to ask me to comfort Yoona. His habit when he was a child, now really reappeared.
"Yoona," I turned to look at her.
"Can you show me where the kitchen is? And, can you help me cook?" My welcome, my hand moved to embrace Cia who had been standing beside my feet.
"Of course, follow me," she said walking ahead, I gently pushed Cia's shoulder as I walked in Yoona's footsteps down the hallway.
Our footsteps stopped in a room without doors, I walked inside following Yoona who had walked in first. My eyes were stunned to look around... There was nothing in the room, only a table with two chairs in between.
"But, where's the furnace and all the cooking equipment?" Reply to him.
"Nothing, because some residents will bring food for me and my father first," said Yoona pulled a chair and sat on it.
"Then, what will we eat later?" Tukasku walked up to the other chair and sat on it, leaving my hand to Cia who was still standing next to the wall.
"Jabari will bring food later, just wait," he continued bowed.
"You can rest if you're tired" I said looking at her, lifting Cia's body up to sit on her lap.
"I'm doing fine. Just..." His words stopped looking at me.
"Say Yoona."
"Say?"
"I mean, the words you stopped saying on the train." I reply to look back at him.
"What of my father? My father, once served as Captain of one of the Imperial forces. When he found me, he and his army are now... I mean, Jabari and the others, are on their way to this place."
"I told them everything I had. At first, I didn't know if they were Imperial Knights, if I had known... I won't dare to tell you," Yoona bowed.
"That's when Dad was so angry that he brought me here... He immediately took over this place, rebelled against the Empire, and raised me as his son..."
"When I first came here, this place was worse than it is now. What can people do here? I mean, you must know exactly how arid this place is."
"But the residents here, are really ungrateful. They, they're always vilifying my father's kindness in hindsight. I hate, the hypocrisy of them all," he said, biting strongly on the bottom of his lips while his hands unceasingly moved, wiping his eyes.
"Can you explain it in more detail?" Haruki's voice rang out, I turned to look at him who had stood looking at us with Izumi and also Eneas beside him.
"What are you guys doing here? Don't you want to rest?" I said as the three of them walked into the room.
"How can we sleep well with everything that's happened lately" Izumi continued, leaning against a wall not too far from where we were sitting.
"I want to know everything, if it's about the Empire, tell me everything" Haruki said, leaning against the wall.
"Me, I have nothing left to tell," Yoona stood up.
"Well, in this room there's only the two of us. We need a little bit of information about the Empire, because if the Empire fights again... The lives of all of us will be at stake" I said looking back at him.
