Fake Princess
CCCXX Chapter
"Add more water" said the woman, sitting in a wooden box that I asked the pirates to make, I turned my gaze to the pirates who seemed to take sea water by using a bucket tied to a rope.
"Is that enough?" Said a man with a wooden bucket in his hand.
"Add a little more water," I said, repeating the words of the woman, the man who was looking at me nodded his head at me.
"I did, now tell me... What should I do for him?" I put my feet up to her, I turned my eyes to her who was looking up at me.
"There's nothing we can do, all we can do is the aanjing. If you can order the aanjing who did that to your sister to free her soul, then your sister will wake up soon" he said, taking a small amount of water in the box with his hand and pouring it back.
"And where can I find him?"
"Of course in a place where many humans. However, I have a plan to arrest her," said the woman glancing at me.
"Plan?"
"Because our people cannot live on land. We need your help to destroy it... You can save your brother, I can avenge our nation. Equally beneficial isn't it?" His words looked at me.
"God you know, I don't believe everything you say."
"I also don't trust people like you. What's more, he who understands what we say is like you," he put his face on the wooden board that surrounds the box.

"Sachi, are you sure you want to?" Said Lux who had been sitting on top of Eneas' body.
"Do I have a choice Lux," I said, raising a hand from Aeneas and placing it on my forehead.
"Six years I took care of him. Six years she's been my sister, you see... I could even see his junks that had grown. How could I abandon him, "I said again, I lowered the hand of Aeneas who touched my forehead while I held firmly on my thigh.
"Is there anything I can do? I will do anything to get her back," Lux said in a trembling voice, her head turning towards Aeneas.
"I asked Yoona to look after Cia. As long as I'm gone, help me take care of him... Make sure his body is not cold, I trust him to you Lux," I said putting the hand I held Aeneas was on the bed.
"I get it, make sure you bring it home, Sachi. Make sure you take my family home," Lux turned to look at me.
"And also, be careful. Make sure you come back okay," Lux said as I stood up from Eneas' bed.
"I understand. I'll bring our sister back, I promise you Lux," I said, stepping back and leaving them.
I opened the door to the room, I stepped outside and turned around to close it again. I took my breath as deep as I could as I exhaled back very slowly.
"Sachi," the female voice came back, I turned to look at Yoona who had been standing looking at me.
"I promise I'll take care of them."
"Thank you, Yoona. Thank you" I said as I walked away.
My footsteps were getting faster, I lyrically the window on the wall of the ship that seemed frozen. You guys are right, I asked Kou to stand guard outside. Although a little spent my energy, but I do not want if there are casualties next when I go later.
"You ready?" The half-fish woman looked at me from inside the wooden box that locked her up.
I walked up to him without saying a word. My footsteps stopped next to the wooden box that had the woman inside. The woman moved one hand closer to her body which was filled with golden scales, then pulled one of them apart from her body.
I grabbed the scales, I raised one of my fingers flanking the scales earlier. The mucus followed by a fishy stinging smell filled my finger earlier...
"Wait any minute, hurry up! I can't get you into the ocean at night, because it's so dark downstairs. If we're wasting..."
"I understand" I said cutting off his words.
I slightly looked up, a reddish-brown ray of bias in the morning seemed to fill the sky. My head fell back to the scales, slowly... My hand that was holding the scales was moving closer to my mouth.
I bit down slowly, I held my hand that held the scales slightly upwards while my teeth still bit him very strongly...
God, how do I eat these scales? The texture is very alot, and also the fishy smell... Really stirring my stomach.
"Can't you eat it?"
I looked at the half-fish woman, I raised my other hand to hold the scales. I give both my hands to fold the scales until they are smaller than before...
I thrust the scales back into my mouth, my jaw moving rapidly trying to crush the scales in my mouth. I glanced up as I felt the fishy scent of fish filling my mouth.
"You swallowed it?" His words again were replied with a nod of the head by me.
"Alright, the preparation is done. Take me back to the sea" he said, pointing his hands at me.
"You guys, help me carry her. Then throw his body into the sea" I turned to look at the two Yadgar Knights.
"My Lord," Kou's voice again flashed in my head, I looked up at the huge shadow that was flying above us.
"You don't have to do it."
"Say Kou, can you cure Eneas? Can you restore his soul? I'm sorry Kou, you must understand... How I loved him," I said lowering my gaze, I turned to follow in the footsteps of the two Knights who had taken the woman to walk on the ice sheet above the sea.
"Your Majesty" said the two Knights who had lowered the woman into the sea.
"I'll be fine. Help me to take care of them, and apologize to me for them if they come back later," I took a deep breath and jumped into the sea.
I opened my eyes little by little, strange... There was no pain like before. I looked at the woman who was moving her tail in front of me, she looked at me and opened her mouth wide, with a little intermittent puffing some water foam from her mouth.
I tried to open my mouth like he did, I breathed the water around using my mouth. I felt the water fill my chest... Immediately, I exhaled back the water I breathed earlier followed by a salty taste that filled my oral cavity.
"Hows it? You can breathe, right?"
"Why shut up? You can talk in the water just like me, too" he said, moving his body to swim towards me.
"Speak. In front of us, there will be many obstacles. This sea is more dangerous than it looks. If you get lost and don't want to talk, I can't save you" he whispered beside my ear.
"Close your mouth! I'm not as stupid as you think I am" I whispered in his ear.
"Good, good. We can leave now" he turned around and swam away.
"But I'm serious about what I'm saying. If you're not careful, this ocean will swallow you alive. So make sure, don't swim too far away from me," he said, turning his head and smiling at me.
