Fake Princess
CCCLXII Chapter
I stared at one of the enemy troops running towards the fortress, the man's body stopped as an arrow from one of my troops pierced through his wide-open mouth. The man fell to the front followed by the end of the arrow sticking out the back of his neck. My body was pulled back, I looked at Adofo who had been standing before me. Put my head to the side to meet some of my troops who have suffered a similar fate.
“Adofo, are you okay?” I asked him with a trembling voice, I stared at the four arrows stuck in his back as he turned to back me. “I'm fine. Do not lose the concentration of Hime-Sama, this is a battle not a playground,” he said without looking back.
He's correct. What's wrong with you Sachi? Once you lose your concentration, there will be many lives lost.
I turned to leave them, I looked at my soldiers waiting under the fort preparing the weapons we were going to use to attack. “Have you guys done what I entrusted?” I asked a little loudly to the Knights.
“We have done it, Hime-Sama,” said one of the Knights I commanded to watch over the troops.
“Bring everything up, we will end this all with their defeat once again,” I said back loudly to them. “According to your order, Hime-Sama.” The Knights again spoke in response to my words.
I turned my back, my legs again stepped past Gritav and Adofo who stood watching me. “Do not let your guard down! Keep attacking them no matter what!” I walked by giving the order, I also raised my right palm towards the troops.
I stepped forward compared to before I stood up, my eyes glanced at the almost hollow fortress wall. I grant both my hands to grab the bow that hangs on my back, and again I give my right hand to grab the arrow that is also on my back. Let out my arrows earlier punch a hole in the head of one of the enemy pedestrian troops who was still about to run over.
I took my arrow again, put my arrow back through the chest of one of the other troops. Adofo stood to my left with the shield he got while Gritav stood to my right with his bow that helped me knock down the enemy troops. Several times my eyelids closed, trying to hold the sweat that was about to fall into the eyes.
I don't know how many arrows I fired, my eyes glanced back at some of my troops who were busy flushing the enemy troops who were about to climb up with the hot oil they had cooked before. The hot oils that fell on the bodies of the enemy troops instantly melted their skins. In fact, their eyeballs melted as one of the enemy troops turned towards me before he fell hard on the ground.
I lowered my head, the sound of the trumpet of the day ending sounded in my ears. I give one of my hands a soft smack on my chest that is still a little rumbling. My strong breath was let out as I raised my head back to the enemy troops who were starting to walk away. The palm of my left hand moved over my face as a boisterous shout rang out from the troops I was leading.
“Can I get water? I have difficulty breathing,” I said slowly to Gritav, Gritav looked at me with a slight smile, “of course, I will immediately return to fetch water for you, Hime-Sama,” he said as he turned back and walked away.
I again dropped my gaze to the few Conferred Knights pushing some large stones that had struck the corpses of their friends. Two of them sat on their knees crying over the death of the Knight whose body was hit by a huge rock earlier. From the waist to the feet, everything was destroyed .. The body of the Knight who was struck by the stone was crushed from the waist to the feet.
“Hime-Sama,” Gritav's voice was heard again followed by a soft clap on my shoulder.
I turned around and raised my hand to reach for the iron glass he pointed at me, “thank you,” I said, I put the glass near my lips and drank it.

I walked closer to the chair that had been cut off to four feet to be short, I gave my body to occupy the chair earlier by sticking my legs forward. My body moved backwards until my back rested on the back of that wooden chair. Let my eyes look at the few Knights who are making a bonfire for us all.
I want this to end quickly. My body crumpled with it, how many more days we had to go through.
“Sachi!”
A male voice screamed in my ear, I forced my reluctant body to move towards the voice calling my name. “What's nii-chan?” I asked Izumi who had stepped her foot closer.
“How are you doing? Are you hurt?” He knelt before me as his left hand gripped gently on my chin earlier he moved to the right and to the left.
“I'm fine nii-chan,” I said to him, I lifted my palm grabbed his left wrist earlier.
“Sorry, I just received your news when the war today ended,” he said look lethargic, “it's okay, I understand your circumstances,” I said smilingly looking at him.
“So nii-chan, how are you guys doing?” I made a sound again, I gave my body back to the chair.
“Unlike yesterday, if yesterday they did not attack at all. So today, they attacked with fewer troops than on the first and second days. I didn't expect, if they moved some of their troops to attack the main fortress. Damn,” said Izumi clenched her right palm and then smacked her palm earlier into the ground beside her.
“I also heard the news,” I said, I gave my head trying to avoid the look in his eyes.
“Are you sure you're okay?” He again asked me, “where might I be fine, when my troops were almost destroyed because of them. I can't even protect them completely,” I said in a trembling voice.
“I know, if it was already at their risk when decided to plunge into the war. However, seeing their friends crying over the corpse of his friend still makes my chest tight to see it,” my connection followed by a strong sigh coming out of my lips.
“Give me both palms,” he said, I slightly glanced at him who had raised both palms towards me.
I put both my hands to touch her palms, firmly grasped my palms earlier by her, “Princess, all this is not your fault. Believe in your servant,” Izumi said following Tsubaru's speaking style, I returned the gaze with a slight smile that I let out.
“Or like this, My daughter is a good child, Dad understands the distress you feel,” this time she follows our Father's speaking style.
“I like it, is there more?” I asked a little enthusiastically to him, “what yes?” Izumi was silent for a moment followed by her slightly bowed head.
“How about this,” continued, Izumi was silent for a moment and then sighed deeply, “aku, want to always see you smile, Darling,” he said who immediately bowed with laughter.
“Can't you stop laughing? You're such a bitch, nii-chan,” I said banging on her back, still the sound of Izumi's laughter getting clearer and clearer in my ears.
