Fake Princess
CCLXXXIX Chapter
"What do you mean?" Jabari moved her horse closer to the crowd.
Some residents were seen stepping back, as Jabari and five other men moved their horses closer to the crowd.
"If you stand in our way, we will not hesitate to crush your body right now" Jabari said, raising the sword at his waist towards the men.
"Please, Chief!"
A male scream was heard over and over again, my head turned to the right and a middle-aged man was running with a small child in his arms.
"My son, my son... Affected by the curse, please Chief... Please my son" said the man in a trembling voice as he sat down on his knees to the man who had spoken to us earlier.
"My son doesn't want to wake up from his sleep, though... Although, I tried to wake him up," he said again, moving his head until his forehead stuck to the forehead of the boy in his arms.
"Did you bring anything?" Revealing the man who was still standing in the middle of the man lying down, the man again stepped his feet through the bodies of humans who were still sleeping between his legs.
"I, I have nothing to give" said the middle-aged man, still staring at him who was getting stronger grasping the arms of his sleeping son in his arms.
"If so, go! And take care of your own child at home. You can see for yourself, there's nowhere else to put your son here," said the man back by lifting his index finger towards the white cloth that became a lying bed for the ten people who fell asleep.
The middle-aged man was still downcast, his embrace of his son was getting stronger. I moved my legs forward and sat sideways on the horse I was riding, my body jumping off the horse as my legs approached the middle-aged man.
"Sa-chan!"
"Sachi!"
The screams calling my name sounded alternating and repeated, my breathing getting stronger I did as I stood beside the middle-aged man.
I opened it and put my right hand in the bag I was carrying. My right hand moved freely into the bag, a long white cloth that I still had no time to cut I lifted from the bag.
Without making a sound, I unfolded the white cloth. As the white cloth spread wide beside the middle-aged man, I turned to look at him as my palm moved to pat the white cloth earlier...
As if to understand what I mean, the middle-aged man moved both knees forward on the white cloth as he placed his son who was still asleep on it.
I looked at the little boy who was still asleep as I moved my palm close to his nose, the child's breath slowly felt touching my palm.
My eyes turned to the arms and the entire face of the child, the red spots on his body were increasingly visible. In fact, the middle-aged man sitting opposite me, joined in scratching his arm that was filled with red spots.
"You know, it's very dangerous. What if you..."
"Did you forget nii-chan, I have Kou," I said, cutting her words, gulping my palm to touch the boy's cheek.
"What are you doing? A girl?" The middle-aged man's voice was strong followed by a strong slap on my palm that had touched his son who was sound asleep.
"I just want to help you guys," I said lifting the headgear that covered my face earlier.
"Don't interfere with your problems..."
The cry of a man was cut off, I turned back as the sound of screaming followed. I looked at the man who had previously held an arrow firmly fixed on his shoulder.
My head turned back towards... Do you remember the man whose legs Lux poisoned in the first fight? The man again pointed his arrow when the man called Chairman by the middle-aged man walked up to me again.
Haruki turned around by pointing a sword that he held towards the man called the Chief. The situation stiffened when some of the gathered residents even walked to the back and sat curled up in fear...
"Stop!" As I stood up, I turned to walk past Haruki and approached the man.
"I just want to help the kid. Lf it doesn't? Do you think I'll care about you?" I said back to the dark-skinned man, he looked at me very sharply as his hand pulled out the arrow stuck on his shoulder.
"Please, please... Help us."
A female voice suddenly rang out, my body turned to stare at a middle-aged woman with a girl beside her. The two of them kneeled at me, appearing to be faint red patches visible on their dark skin.
"What are you doing?!" The middle-aged man who had previously suddenly stood up then moved towards the two women until they knelt down with both hands covering their heads.
I walked up to them, my steps halted as Haruki pulled my arm. Haruki turned to look at the two men from our entourage, the two men moving their horses closer to the middle-aged man.
One of the two men jumped off his horse, walked up to the middle-aged man and kicked him so hard that the middle-aged man fell forward.
"Don't mind them" said Haruki, I felt his hand on my arm getting stronger.
"We do not know, the curse they mean will be transmitted to us or not later. I, don't want anything to happen to you, Sa-chan."
