Fake Princess
CCLXXXIII Chapter
"What does that mean?" Jabari stepped forward to stand behind Haruki.
"The dragon belongs to the Emperor who burned the forest, he also ate the Knights first" Haruki said, grabbing an apple in the basket.
"Dragon?" Whisper them back, let my eyes glanced at those who looked at each other.
"The Emperor keeps the Dragon, don't you know it?"
"I doubted what Miss said, because the Royal Counsellor told us... If, the Prince and the Princess say it makes no sense, because they accidentally consume poisonous mushrooms when they are all asked to hunt in the forest," said one of the men standing in line.
"How can we consume poisonous mushrooms, if at that time we are asked to bring anything for all purposes," said Izumi, he stood up to reach the pile of grilled meat in front of Haruki.
"If you remember it correctly, because at that time... I myself accompanied the Princes and Princesses into the forest," said one of the men standing at the end of the line.
"Tell me! Why did you all end up here? I mean, defying the Empire? Are you sure?"
"It may not be against the Empire, but we respect the Captain's decision more" Jabari said.
"The Empire has many Captains, and among all the Captains... They were competing against each other to be at a high level, as the higher the level of that army was... Income or even power rank will be easy to get. The captain and his army were even allowed to destroy a village and occupy it..."
"First time, my brother and I became Knights. I can't say anything, the squad leaders are brutal... They like to torture prisoners, they always drink the blood of the enemies they defeat. So much that they hate women, some of them have a love affair with each other..."
"Of all the Captains of the Army, only Captain Hanbal was slightly different. If he fights, he will not attack those who do not fight. If he leads the war, prisoners will be treated accordingly. Therefore, we respect him" Jabari said, looking straight ahead with a blank look.
"You said that, but you... Never tried to resist the Emperor's rule. Have you ever thought about our feelings? Have you never felt our fear? Have you never felt the despair we felt" I glanced at them.
"Initially, we thought so..."
"But that changed, when we found Miss on the way," said the two men alternately.
"When Miss told me everything, and when the Captain told her what had happened to her executed son... We just realized, if this world is outrageous. But, what can a lowly Knight like us do," Jabari said with her head bowed.
"If it's true like that, be the pirates," Haruki said, holding his face on the table.
"Pirates?"
"True pirates, leave this place... And live as pirates" Haruki said back to them.
"But, the Empire never got along with the pirates."
"Isn't that good. I will ask the leader to accept all of you to be their troops, your life will also be better than spending life here" Haruki said again answering a question from one of them.
"Give it all to me" Haruki continued, answering the gaze Izumi gave her.
"Again, sooner or later... This place will be destroyed, if that is said... Your name is Yoona, isn't it?" Haruki's words turned to look at her, YoonA nodded back at Haruki's words to him.
"If what Yoona says is true, just leave those selfish residents behind. They, will not understand one's misery unless they feel it directly," Haruki said again, putting the apple in his hand on the table.
"Then, what about Yoona?"
"You're like me, aren't you?" Haruki replied to my words, his head moving towards Yoona who looked back at him.
"I, want to leave this place immediately," said Yoona bowed.
"Alright, everything is done, nothing needs to be discussed again," Haruki said.
"Wait for nii-chan. I know that Aydin isn't evil, but... You must understand how Aydin loves flirting with women, I'm worried about Yoona's safety" I glanced at Yoona.
"I didn't say I was going to give it to Aydin" Haruki continued staring at me.
"Then? You intend to just leave him?" This time Izumi asked him.
"No, I'll take responsibility. Because of what I did, she lost the figure of Father protecting her," Haruki glanced at Yoona.
"Wait a minute, responsible?" Connect Izumi back.
"I'll send him to the Kingdom, and ask Dad to watch over him."
"Have you lost your mind? What if someone knows where we are?"
"I will send it to the foundation, there will be many women who can be friends with him. After all, how do I say it," Haruki said with a long sigh.
"That's not what I meant," Izumi said, she was bowed scratching her head strongly, a strong sigh also came out from between her lips.
"I mean, what excuse do you want to give Dad? Do you want to tell Dad, my father killed the former Imperial Captain in a duel, I want Dad to take care of his son because I feel guilty. Like that?!"
"Izu nii-chan," I looked at her as she stood up.
"What's wrong with you, Izumi?"
"Do you think we can trust them? How many times have we been fooled all this time?!" Tukas Izumi with a high tone, hit the table firmly until Cia turned to hug me.
