Fake Princess
CCCLVI Chapter
The noise from outside rang out to disturb my ears, "Hime-sama, hurry out!" Gritav's voice came together with a knock on the door.
I sat down, looking down with both hands at the shoes I was wearing. My body stood up again when both shoes were attached to my feet.
I swiftly opened the cloth ties that wrapped around my wrist while putting out the cloth ribbon to tie my long hair. "What's Gritav?" I asked him as my hands opened the door.
"The enemy forces have arrived" he said with a slight widening of his eyes, "enemy forces?" I asked to make sure that was answered with a nod of his head.
I immediately stepped past him, "what about the situation in the fortress?" I asked, as I hastened my footsteps out of the house I was in in the meantime, "Prince Izumi has been guarding the Eastern fortress, Arata has been guarding the Western fortress, Arata has been standing guard, Sanjiv and Eneas have stood guard at the fortress in the South, while Mr. Haruki, has been waiting for you in the Main Fortress" said Gritav.
"Your brother really can't leave you alone Hime-sama, he even remodeled the ranks of the troops for fear of your safety," Gritav again voiced behind me.
"He's remodeling it without discussing it with me?" I asked again, my legs getting closer to Adofo who had been standing next to my horse.
"Because of the army that is besieging us, the number is beyond what we think. You will probably understand when you see it for yourself, Hime-sama," Gritav said back, I glanced at him a little bit who had pulled his horse over to me.
"If it is like that, I want to quickly check it myself with my eyes," I said, giving it very firmly both hands that were holding the reins of my horse.
The horse I was riding ran fast down the street surrounded by several houses around it, I slightly glanced back looking at Gritav and also Adofo who almost caught up with me with their horses.
I pulled the bridle that tied my horse, both legs were raised forward when I did it suddenly. I quickly thrust my body down the horse as both legs were back on the ground.
I walked past the giant wooden weapons neatly arranged near the fort, my legs moving faster up the stairs attached to the fort.
"Chi-chan!" My shout called out to him, my footsteps moved closer to him followed by the irregular roar of my breath.
"Have you arrived?" He asked as he turned his eyes to look at me, "what? What, they've been attacking?" I asked with a little bit of a sigh.
"They haven't attacked, yet" said Haruki, joining me in my head following the way his eyes fell.
Both my eyes grew bigger, I had never seen this many troops before, "are you surprised?" Haruki's voice rang out again, I raised my head back to look at him who had turned to look at me.
"Is this what the real Taoist Kingdom is?" I asked with a little disbelief looking at him.
"This way, the true power of the second largest Kingdom after us," Haruki said. "How are we going to fight them by relying only on the remaining troops?"
"Oh, but isn't this interesting?" Haruki said with a slight smile to the enemy troops who were marching outside the fortress.
"Adofo, my arrow" I said to him, Adofo walked forward with a bow and a wooden tube full of arrows in his hand.
"Hime-sama," he said, lifting the two objects towards me with both hands.
"Thank you" I said, giving both my hands to grab the two.
"I didn't give you permission to jump into battle right away," Haruki said, grabbing the bow in my hand, I held up the tube with the arrow in my hand that had been coiled around my back, "I wear it just in case. After all nii-chan, as a sister ... It's our duty, isn't it? To help his brother," I said smilingly looking at him, I grabbed back my bow that was in his grasp.
"Hime-sama, I will take all the orders from you," said Haruki putting one of his palms on his chest, moving his body slightly bowing towards me.
"I will do my best for all of you" I bowed before him with my palms touching my stomach.
"Everything!" Shouting as I got back up, my legs stepped closer to the wall and looked towards the Knights who had been lined up waiting under the fortress.
"Even if later you lose your limbs, even though later you can not move anymore because of their attacks," I said stopped for a moment, I stared at all those who were still fixated to raise their heads to look at me.
"Don't give up! You hear my words? Don't give up!" My screams were so loud that it almost made the sound in my throat disappear.
"If we win this war, your Kingdom, the Kingdom of Nivan ... Will be remembered throughout time, your Kingdom will be known to be the first small Kingdom that successfully conquered a Kingdom as big as Tao. Don't you want to make it happen?!" I again shouted out loudly to them, I stared at the look on their faces that had not looked excited gradually changed.
"If you want to make it happen," I said back to a standstill, I took a deep breath as I could, "pick up your weapons! Raise your heads! We protect this Fortress to the point of final blood! We show the trash how powerful we really are!" My screams returned loudly, my hair instantly goosebumps as the Knights around replied to me with their deafening screams.
"Good work My sister," I slightly glanced at Haruki who was whispering beside me, "my decision is right, choosing you as the leader of the squad," he said back slowly with a slight smile on his lips.
"I accepted the challenge you gave nii-chan. Don't underestimate me," I said, "i just want to make my brothers grow stronger than the Prince and the Princess of other Kingdoms" he said, followed by his palms slightly clutching my head.
"You heard what Hime-sama said to you guys didn't you?!" Haruki walked past me followed by the loud words he said.
"Back to your positions! Prepare all the weapons that have been prepared. And wait for the command Hime-sama gave you all!" The words Haruki uttered sounded louder than before.
"No one dares to do anything beyond the command given, if you do so ... I'm the one who will execute you all immediately" Haruki said, glancing back at them.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?!" Haruki again shouted out loudly to them, the Knights replied loudly to Haruki's words, "say more clearly!" Haruki returned to them.
"We understand, Your Majesty!" Reveal the Knights in unison.
