Fake Princess
CCCXLVI Chapter
Gritav led us in front with his horse down the hill, taking my horse in his footsteps as my head moved to look at the great Kingdom we were about to conquer.
If this plan fails, the only way to save myself that I can do is to call Kou. That too, if the plan I have compiled fails.
"Be careful," said Haruki, I turned a little towards him as he rode his horse covering my eyes from the Kingdom.
"I'm sorry, I'm less careful. Nii-chan," I said back, Haruki turned her face back to look at me, "what's the matter?" Ask still looking at me.
"sorry. Sorry, for always being selfish" I said back at her gaze. "It's okay, I don't really mind it" he said, turning his eyes back to the Taoist Kingdom.
"Luana," Haruki said, he slightly glanced towards Luana who was sitting behind him. "I also want to apologize for my attitude the other day" he said.
"I've forgotten it. There's no need to apologize" Luana said, her head moving avoiding my gaze.
"After all this is over, I'll give up our engagement status as you wish" Haruki said, "what are you?" Luana asked back, looking at the back of Haruki who was behind her.
"I listened to your conversation the other day. Sorry, but I'm ... I don't know how to treat women. I hope, you can also find happiness," Haruki spoke softly, his head moving straight ahead.
"Thank you, I will also pray for your happiness," said Luana, I stared at her bowed down with a slight bite on her lips.
I thrust back my head staring straight ahead, my horse moved a little quickly leaving the two of them. "What's going on?" My head again moved around, looking for that sound that sounded in my ear.
"Behind you" the voice came back, I turned to look back following the direction of the voice.
"Izu nii-chan," I said looking at him, the horse he was riding moved closer to me. "What happened to you?" He asked again as the horse he was riding walked beside me.
"Nothing happened to me" I answered her question.
"Then can you explain what happened to them?" Izumi asked back, her eyes moving slightly glancing towards Haruki as well as Luana who was silent silently behind us.
"Something I can't tell you," I looked away from Izumi as she looked back at me, "Tu-pai," said Izumi, biting my lips hard before looking back at her.
"Can't it, Izu nii-chan asked directly to her. I, find it difficult to explain" I said back to him.
"Is this related to their engagement?" Izumi ignored my words.
"Izu nii-chan," I said slightly frowning looking at him, "i understand, I won't discuss it," he said as he moved his head back to the front.
My horse is moving faster and faster forward as the Tao Kingdom gets more and more visible in the view, "Daughter, whether we need to advance a little closer to it or the distance is enough here," Gritav stopped the horse he was riding, his male voice still seemed to be heard behind the appearance of the woman he was wearing.
"Do you think the enemy's arrows will get here?" I asked back to him, "if we go further forward, maybe it will happen," he replied returning my gaze.
"All right, you all listen to my orders!" My shout was strong, my horse turned around as I looked at the troops standing before behind me.
"Gritav, and Hongli will be in the same army as Hime-sama. You two understand, what do you have to do, right?" Haruki asked, Gritav and Arata nodded their heads as Haruki looked at them.

I was still sitting on my horse, my eyes falling on the Knights who were building tents of brown cloth. My eyes turned again to the shadow of the Taoist Kingdom Knights who were standing in front of us from the top of their Kingdom fortress.
"Nee-chan," her voice rang out, I turned to look at her who was carrying her horse walking over to me.
"Have you done everything I commanded?" I asked him, Aeneas slightly nodded his head at me.
"I have prepared everything. Trust us" he said, Aeneas stopped his horse beside me.
"I didn't know this was going to work or not, and neither was it ... This is the second war for you, isn't it?" I smiled a little at him.
"Nee-chan was right, so I remembered my first war when I was with Haru nii-san in Paloma," she said smiling back at me.
The two of us went back into silence, the ridicule that sounded from some of the Tao Kingdom Knights sounded slightly as the wind gushed towards us. "They were so haughty," Arata's voice suddenly sounded, my head moving back in search of his voice.
"Hongli, has everything been prepared?" I asked Arata who was getting closer to us.
"Everything is ready Hime-sama, Hime-sama can rest inside the tent we built," he said slightly bowing his body towards me.
"Don't do it, you make me feel a little bit uneasy Arata nii-chan," I said, Arata again raised his head followed by a hand that moved to scratch his head, "well, according to your orders Hime-sama," he said again, saying, I stared at her hair as she stood beside the horse I was riding.
"Eneas, can you take Cia into the tent, let her rest there," I said, turning to her, "I understand. Cia, come! Come with Brother," said Eneas, his hands moved closer to Cia who was sitting down in front of me.
"Hime-sama," Arata again said, "what's the matter?" I asked back as he still did not flinch at the Tao Kingdom Fortress that was in front of us.
"What should we do next?"
"Nothing, there's nothing you need to do. We just have to wait for them to come out of their own fortress" I said, drawing my gaze towards the Taoist Knights who were shouting mocking us from above the fortress they were guarding.
"What do you mean, Hime-sama? Do you want them to kill us all right here?" The male voice was heard again, now my gaze turned towards the four men who were Arata's men.
"We are only attacking them with a very small army, a kingdom as big as Tao will not compromise the small threat we make. In other words, they will ignore us, they will only make us desperate and then return home with empty hopes," I replied to one of the men.
"Is that possible?" One of the men asked again.
"So then, I just want to try our luck" I said, returning my gaze to the tall fortress that was before me.
