Fake Princess
CCCXIX Chapter
"Sachi," said a female voice, I turned towards Yoona who was standing by holding Cia's hand.
My head turned to avoid their gaze, I thrust my feet toward the wooden wall on the body of the ship. My head bowed as my hands clasped tightly onto the plank, staring at the surging sea water beneath the ship.
"Kou please, please... Save her," I said, holding up one palm of my hand rubbing both of my eyes simultaneously.
I raised my arm as the water splashed strongly soaking my body back. My tears fell instantly as I stared at Kou who had been standing before me with an unmoving Eneas in his jaw.
"I'll help you, Princess," a male voice sounded, I glanced towards a pirate who pointed his hands towards Kou.
"Thank you," I said slowly as I pulled back my hands that I had raised towards Kou.
Kou moved his face closer to the man's arm, opening his large jaw until Eneas' body fell on the man's hand. The man turned around and knelt down with both hands and laid Eneas' body on the floor.
I walked up to them, the man stood up slightly away from us. Turtle and I embraced the unconscious body of Eneas, his eyes still closed with his lips and his whole body turning pale.
"Eneeas. Can you hear me?"
"Eneas, get up" I said to him, the stronger my embrace was.
"Please wake up, Aeneas. Please, wake up my sister," I said, the deeper my face sank on her shoulders.
"Sachi."
"Lux," I said moving my head up, he flew over with his head still fixed on Eneas.
"He doesn't want to wake Lux. What am I supposed to do?" My words stared at him as Lux directed one of her hands towards the nostrils of Aeneas.
"Eneas," cried Lux, kicking Eneas' cheek with one leg.
"Wakeup. I created a greater poison than you," Lux continued, moving her legs against Eneas' cheek.
"I don't have any friends to argue with other than you, Aeneas, so..."
"Sachi... Please wake her up, please wake her up," cried Lux, her body sitting down on top of Aeneas' chest.
"Sachi."
"Yoona, sister. My sister," my tears looked at her, Yoona sat on her knees beside me with both her hands grabbing my body and hugging it.
"Ka...Sis," the voice of the girls sounded softly, I glanced towards Cia who was looking at Aeneas with her two puffy eyes.
"My Lord, what are you crying about?"
"Kou, E..."
"He is still my Lord's life, I can still feel the flow of life within his body even though it is very small."
"Is that true? What are you saying that's true?" I said with a slight move of the face to the side, I lyrically Kou who had approached his face beside me.
"Wait a minute My Lord, there's a fish bothering me" said Kou raising his head back away.
I turned back to look at Eneas who was still sound asleep, I thrust my hand towards Lux. I bit my lips hard as my hand stopped above his chest, the heartbeat of Eneas... Not at all felt in my palm.
Back, my back felt wet all of a sudden. I widened my eyes as I stared at a woman being thrown from behind me, she was unceasingly floundering on the floor of the ship.
"Who are you?" As I looked at her, the woman moved her head towards me with her long hair covering her face.
"Kou, who is he?"
"A fish. I felt it when he was watching you from afar."
"Man, can only cry. If not saved immediately, the man will lose his life" a female voice rang out, I placed Eneas' body on the floor. I stood up and walked closer to the half-fish woman.
"Did you make my sister like that?" I said, I put my hand on her hair until she looked up at me.
"You? Understand our language?"
"What did you do to my friend?!" Shouted Lux, my eyes glanced at him who was flying closer.
"What are you?" He turned his eyes towards Lux.
"You don't need to know. Just answer my question... What did you do to my sister?" Reveal me, my hand that was clutching her hair moved to her neck.
"Wait a minute, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to try to save her, not me who hurt her," she said looking at me with a slight narrowing of her eyes, the stronger the strangulation I had on her neck.
"It wasn't an act I did, it was an aanjing" he said with both hands clapping my wrists choking him.
"Tell me everything you know and never lie. If you do, I'll chop up your body and give it to the creature, "I said letting go of the giggles I did to him, the woman was bowed with a few coughing fits as I pointed one of my hands towards Kou.
"I told you, he was like that because the dog locked his soul. Because of the actions of the aanjing as well, all the people here hate us, because they think that we are the ones who harm them all," he said with his head bowed.
"dog?"
"They're half human just like us, it's just that we have a different tail shape. Look how beautiful my tail is... And the humans liken us to him" he said, wiggling his tail, apparently sounding also the tongue that he did.
"You trying to trick me?"
"I don't dare," he said with a move of his eyes slightly glancing towards Kou who was addressing us.
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it. You can take and eat my scales" he said, pointing his index finger at the sparkling scales on his body.
"I can what?"
"You can eat my scales, that way... You'll be able to breathe in the water. I, will invite you to see the truth," he said with one hand moving to pat his chest.
"For what reason should I trust you?"
"You want to save her, don't you?" he looked at Aeneas whose head was held by Yoona.
"Actually, our nation can lock the soul of man in the sea. But, we didn't do it... Even I had time to sing to break the magic that the aanjing did, but their magic was too strong because basically... They have locked up a lot and eaten human souls all this time. And, we're the ones who accept all his bad karma..."
"Humans think our nation did it. There are countless more, those from our nation who were captured or even killed directly by the humans," he said with his head bowed.
"Say, what do I have to do to save her?"
"Sachi," Lux said softly to me.
"Give me some water, or I'll die before I can answer your question" he said, looking back at me.
