Fake Princess
CCCXI Chapter
The sound of knocking on the door woke me up, I sat down with both palms covering my bowed face. I lowered my hands earlier while glancing around the room looking for Zeki.
"Come in" I said as the knocking of the door was heard more and more.
A black shadow appeared as the door opened, two women came inside, stepped up and bowed their bodies towards me. The two women did not say a word, they just lowered their heads with both hands raised towards the door of the room that was still open.
I stood up and walked up to them, a woman stood up and turned to walk toward the door. I followed the woman as the other woman followed me from behind.
The three of us walked together in a hallway with glassless windows surrounding us. I turned to one of the windows, looking from afar several tens of women were fighting each other using a sword made of wood.
I turned my eyes back to a woman who was walking with so many books in her hands. The woman who walked in front of me lowered her head and raised her head back as the woman carrying the pile of books passed.
The three of us continued on, a stone staircase... Long stretches in front of us. I bow my feet slowly down the stairs with the occasional wind blowing my hair down.
Both of my feet again stepped down the path with grass on the right and left. We stopped at a park with a building without walls standing firmly in the middle of the park.
The woman who led the way stopped her footsteps, turned around and took a few steps back. The woman's body bent back with both hands towards the white-painted building.
I walked past the woman, the more I stepped closer to the building... The more fragrant the flowers burst into my nose. My steps stopped, the black woman I had previously met was sitting in the building while her head turned to look at me.
He smiled as he greeted the two women standing behind him bending over as I walked up to them.
The woman in black was pointing her palm towards one of the chairs made of stone that was there. I walked up to the chair and sat on it.
The black woman raised her index finger which was greeted by one of the women who came up to her. The woman raised her palm as the woman beside her brought her face closer to her...
"The queen, wanting to apologize once again for the actions done by one of us," said the woman standing up to look at me.
"Excuse us" continued the black woman who I replied with a nod of the head.
"You're the one who should apologize. And please, release the four of them, they are not as bad as you think," I bowed my head, I felt a grip on my palm, the black woman smiled at me as I raised my head to look at her.
The black woman turned to the woman next to her. He whispered a word I did not understand...
"Your name?"
"My name?" I repeated the question, the woman standing earlier nodded back at me.
"Sachi, I will lend you all the troops I have to help you fight," he said smilingly looking at me, turning his head towards the woman standing beside him, the woman returned my gaze with a nod of her head that she did.
I looked back at the Queen, my lips still silent trying to digest what had really happened. I forced my lips to smile, while the Queen was still smiling at me.
The woman called the Queen gave me her hand, stood up and walked away from me with a woman who translated the conversation between me and the Queen...
"Queen Alelah ordered me to help you while here," said the woman walking over to me.
"My name, Callia. Don't hesitate to ask me anything," he said, pointing his palm to his chest and bowing his body towards me.
"Alright, Callia. Can you sit next to me" I said, patting the chair the Queen had occupied.
"Do you know where the four men are with me?" I turned my head as he moved to sit on the chair I showed him.
"They were discussing something with the Royal Captains" he said in reply.
"Captain?"
"Queen, can see the intent of one's heart just by touching the person's body. The queen probably saw the greatest desire you could have, and maybe that's one of the reasons she wanted to help you, "he said.
"Is that possible? Changing the world that's out there, is that possible?" The head back down.
"Because of that, he could tell if I wanted to ignite a war. Very amazing ability," I said throwing a sideways glance.
"Not only that, the Queen has powerful magic. He was guarding this place so that it could not be seen by outsiders with his magic, you must have seen the birth ceremony led directly by him?" Said the woman, I turned my eyes back to look at her.
"The birth ceremony, not only to increase the power of the Kingdom in the future, but also to form one's inner bond with this place directly. I don't really understand either, but that's what happened."
"What are you?"
"My daughter is five years old when the season changes. And I, don't want to make him step out of this place, especially into the outside world that you must understand... How dangerous it is" Callia said back to look at me.
"But I also want my daughter to feel love someday. So..."
"I will fight for it, I will fight for your dream" I said grasping her trembling palms.
