Fake Princess
CCCXXVI Chapter
Ebe again pulled my hand swimming amidst the gazes of the looking mermaids, my eyes which were originally glancing towards them back I was forced to stare straight ahead.
My feet paddled softly as two large-bodied male mermaids confronted us. Ebe let go of his grasp as his body moved closer to the two mermaids, I stared at them who seemed to argue with each other.
"What's going on here?" a male voice suddenly rang out, I turned back to stare at a male mermaid swimming near us.
"Sister," said Ebe, he swam closer to the mermaid.
"What are you doing Ebe? And who is he?" He said with a slight turn of his gaze glancing at me.
"He's my friend, I brought him here" Ebe replied as he looked at me.
"He's human."
"Then why? Aren't you..." Ebe's words came to a halt, she moved her face closer to the man she had called Big Brother before.
"Are you sure?" The man asked as he kept his head away from the man's ears.
Ebe turned around and swam back closer, the male mermaid also swam closer to us. I don't know what they're whispering, the tiredness in my legs is keeping me from thinking about anything for now.
"Sachi, do you want me to come back?" Reveal Ebe by patting both shoulders alternately.
"Tidy up your hair first, or they'll fill my face later," I said swimming slowly toward her, Ebe raising her hands to grab her hair floating around her head.
I swam closer and closer to Ebe by wrapping my arm around her neck. Ebe pulled back her hand that had held her hair earlier, then swam forward following the man who had swam ahead of us.
"Is he your brother?" I said quietly as Ebe had taken me swimming past the two guard mermaids earlier.
"He, my cousin. His father, is my mother's brother. Like that," said Ebe to answer my question.
I looked back straight ahead, a building made from an array of stone ruins standing firmly before us. Ebe swam forward through a large gate with no door in front of us...
This place, more precisely just a pile of stones arranged in a circle. There's no roof like a temple in general, it's just... My eyes fell, on a cube-shaped glass table next to Ebe's grandfather.
"Close to Sachi, I'll wait for you here" said Ebe, raising my arms around his neck, I swam forward as Ebe moved aside to give me a way.
My legs stopped paddling, my eyes fixed on the glass table in front of me. Seen on its surface, there was a hole with several inscription carvings surrounding it.
"Put it down, the soul crystal over there," said his grandfather Ebe glancing at me.
I lowered my head, I gave both my hands unbinding on my clothes that had enveloped the glass ball earlier. Curse the glass ball with my hand while I put the ball over the small hole on the surface of the table.
I glanced at the old man who grabbed my hand and then moved it by the sharp end of the table. I was bitten hard by my lips, my head as if pierced when the sea water had brought blood out of my arm.
The man moved his finger back, as he did so... A bracelet made of water had surrounded my wound, and returned... The wound on my arm was gone by him.
The old man's index finger moved again, this time... Slowly, my blood, which had initially spread, fused with the moving seawater, reassembled in the form of a small ball made of blood.
The ball of my blood moved, enveloping the glass ball I had placed on the table. My eyes were stunned, as the writing engraving on the table suddenly turned a deep red color.
I was stunned, the scenery around me stunned. I don't know where this is? But with so many trees, could this be a forest? But, why did I get here?
"Eneas, don't eat it. Your body is still not strong enough to eat this poison," a male voice sounded from the side, I turned to look at a middle-aged man crouching in front of the boy.
"But why Dad?" A male voice rang out again, I turned to look at Eneas who had been standing with his head bowed.
"But why Dad?" This time the voice of the little boy was heard, I turned my gaze to look towards the middle-aged boy and boy earlier.
"Eneas," I said, turning around after him as he walked away from me.
"Eneas," I said again, Aeneas stopped his steps and turned back.
"Eneas, come home with me," I said, pointing one of my hands toward his palm.
I bit my lips firmly while my hands were moving closer to him earlier I grasped very tightly. My heart was tight, as my eyes saw her hands moving through my body.
I ran back to catch up with him, my hand trying to grab his hand moving in vain. I lifted up one of my hands that pierced through his body earlier...
Oh my God, what should I do?
My eyes re-enlarged as I felt a strong wind suddenly blow, the forest that had previously surrounded suddenly disappeared replaced with a beach. Aeneas continued to step forward, his body slowly getting wet by the sea water as his body was getting drowned out by the sea water.
I ran quickly after her, my body falling backwards as I felt an invisible wall hit my body. Immediately I stood back up, I held my hand firmly against the invisible wall before me.
"Deez!" Shouts called him.
"Deez!" I shouted again, the stronger my hands were hitting the invisible wall before me.
"Deez!"
"You're my brother, aren't you?" My welcome, I sat staring at him still extending his legs.
"Listen to your brother's words, Aeneas. Turn around, come back with us again" I cried, staring at him, one hand still flailing about the invisible wall in front of me.
"I'll cook whatever food you want, I'll give you whatever you want. I'll..." My words came to a halt, my tears were getting more and more out as the seawater had reached his neck.
"Back my sister, please. Izu nii-chan, Haru nii-chan, Lux, even Cia are waiting for you. I'm..." My words were cut off, my cries were breaking even more as...
"Sachi," a faint voice rang out, I opened my eyes slowly as the voice again rang out in the ears.
"Where am I?" My words moved my eyes glancing towards Ebe who was sitting beside me.
"In my room. You, unconscious when..."
"Can you leave me alone right now Ebe. Please," I said cutting her words, I held my right arm over my eyes.
"alright. Call me if you need anything," he sounded again, this time a little clearer in my ear.
