Fake Princess
Ccxcviii Chapter
"What are you doing here?" I looked at him, and my palms touched his shoulders as he grabbed my waist and lifted me down from the horse.
"Royal Visit," he smiled at me, releasing both his hands that held my waist earlier.
"Who is he?" His words looked back at me, his index finger pointing towards Cia who was still sitting on the horse staring at us.
"I haven't been able to tell her, she's Cia... We found him when he was almost sold into slavery by someone. Look at his eyes, just like my brother, right?" My words grabbed Cia's body and carried her.
"The same question, why don't you return my letter?" He walked his feet beside me.
"I want to hurry back, but... A lot of things have happened lately, I intend to get back at him when I get to the ship, a big surprise for me... The man himself who appeared before me..."
"The same question for you, what are you doing here, King Yadgar?" I said again as I turned around to move closer to him.
"Aydin was on a visit to the Kingdom when the letter from Haruki came, I was worried about your safety if it was close to the man, so I decided to follow him to pick you up," he said, smiling at me.
"Then, what about the Kingdom? You just left him?"
"I asked Viscount Okan to help me take care of the matters of the Kingdom. I know, if he's one of your brother's confidants," he said walking past.
"You really are" I said following his footsteps.
My eyes looked down at Cia as I felt the pull on the robe I was wearing. Cia looked at me with her two bubbling cheeks, her entire face deathly pale covered in sweat.
"Zeki, take him to the side of the boat. I'll give her medicine" I said, raising Cia close to her, Zeki still silently looked at me with Cia holding her hand.
"What are you waiting for, quickly take him there," I said, pushing his back to walk toward the side of the ship.
The footsteps of the two of us stopped, I asked Zeki to hold Cia with her head facing the sea. I patted very gently on Cia's back as all of her stomach contents out fell with the sea water...
I pointed my hands into the bag, I grabbed a small ceramic bottle covered in yellow cloth from inside the bag. I looked at Zeki who was sweeping the handkerchief in her hand to Cia's lips who were bowed quietly in her sling.
"Cia, eat," I said opening the bottle cap, I pointed the small round-shaped medicinal herb that fell from the ceramic bottle above my palm towards Cia.
"Open your mouth Cia" I said back as she hid her head on Zeki's shoulder.
"Eneas," I said in a high tone as I stared at him who was talking to some pirates.
"You call me nee-chan?" He turned around to approach.
"He doesn't want to take this medicine, can you persuade him?" I told him to give some of the medicinal herbs to him.
"Cia, do you want to play with me?" Reveal Aeneas when the drug granules had moved in his grasp.
"Ma-in?" His voice turned to look at Eneas, Aeneas smilingly nodded his head looking at him with both of his hands pointed towards Cia.
Cia moved her body back towards Aeneas, grabbed Cia's body and walked Aeneas leaving us with Cia in his arms. I leaned against the wall next to the ship, my head bowed as I breathed out repeatedly...
"I'm just tired" I replied as my head rested on his shoulders.
"Your hand" he said, pointing his palm at me, I grabbed it and grabbed it.
"I'm grateful you're okay. When I heard that if you ran away from your personal servants, I was very worried about your situation," he said, the stronger his hand held in my hand.
"We have to do it, if not... We won't know what will happen if we waste our time. Anyway, I want to finish this as soon as possible," I said, putting my face deeper into his arms.
"Do you know, I'd love to lock you up so you don't go far to a place I can't go" she said, feeling a touch followed by warm air touching my forehead.
"What are you doing?" I walked to the side avoiding it while having one of my hands touch my forehead.
"Just kiss your forehead" he said, pointing his index finger at his forehead.
"You-you're stupid, how can you do that?!" I turned my feet away from him.
I forgot, it's been countless... How many days, I don't cleanse my body. I was surprised to meet him until I forgot that important thing.
"Sachi," he said following my steps into the ship's passageway.
"Don't follow me!"
"Darling," he said again as he continued to walk behind me.
"I told you, don't follow me. Are you..." My words stopped as my body turned back.
Zeki pulled my arm, my body moved closer to him as I felt the embrace on my waist that he was doing. The more her head touched my neck, the more I moved backwards, the stronger the embrace Zeki had on my waist.
"Zeki," I said quietly as I thrust both palms of my hand pushing her body slightly back.
"Wait a minute" he said, raising his head to look at me.
"Wait a minute?"
"It's nothing, it's just the words I use to calm myself down," she said, releasing a hug, turning her legs to walk away from me.
"Clean your body as soon as possible" he said, turning back with one hand to open a door beside him.
"You're so annoying. I've been trying to avoid my body odor from bothering you. Do you have to blatantly say it like that" I said walking into the door he had opened earlier.
"I didn't say it because I didn't like it. You are so stupid Takaoka Sachi," he slammed the door as I entered the room.
"Tell me one more time, tell me what you said to me, and open the door," I said walking up to the closed door and banging it repeatedly.
"I like the smell of your body even more if it's covered in sweat, and it makes me unable to think clearly. That's why, I don't want any other man to smell your body, do you understand?!" He half-screamed from behind the chocolate door that was in front of me.
