Fake Princess

Fake Princess
Takaoka Haruki (Side Story') III


I set foot down the nearly ruined steps of the fortress, “Your Majesty,” a male voice sounded, my eyes opened to the familiar voice.


“Tatsuya? You guys have come?” I walked up to him, I gave the spear I was holding to smash the enemy's head into him.


“I'm trying to find you. I don't know if you're there, Your Majesty,” he said walking behind me.


“You have come according to my plan only, it has been very good,” I said to him.


“Haruki,” my footsteps stopped when I heard his voice.


It's so annoying, when I really want him to call me Big Brother like I used to.


“Sachi, he was injured,” he said, both my eyes enlarged while listening to his words.


I'll give both my legs a run up to a horse that doesn't belong to anyone. I'm giving the horse a quick run down the road, “Kazuya!” I pulled my harness until the horse I was riding stopped.


“Your Majesty,” said he who moved his horse near me. “Do you know where Sachi is?” Ask him.


“Princess unconscious, Her Majesty brought her to the Palace.”


I immediately moved the horse I was riding to run quickly to the Taoist Royal Palace, I stopped the horse I was riding earlier as I bestowed both of my legs rapidly downwards. “Where is my sister?” I asked one of the Knights I assigned to guard the Palace.


My legs ran fast down the direction he pointed out, I took my breath as deep as I could as I gave one of my hands opened the door that was in front of me. “What do?” Father's voice stopped my footsteps.


“Dad,” I turned to look at him who had been standing before me with Luana and also Sasithorn standing behind him.


“Follow me!” When my father turned and walked away, I gave him my legs to follow him.


“She's fine,” Luana was a little noisy as I stepped foot past her.


My father walked without saying a word, he turned into a room and sat in one of the chairs there. “Haruki, sit!” My father's orders, I give both my legs to one of the chairs and sit on it.


“What are you thinking? Why did you do that to your sister?” Dad looked at me with his body leaning against the chair.


“I don't understand what Dad's talking about,” I told him.


“Dad, don't like to be played by Haruki. Dad always knows what you've been doing all this time,” he told me.


“What exactly is your purpose for doing so? Why do you always put your sister in danger? become the leader of the team as he does now.”


“Why should you give that task to your sister? Obviously, you can do that yourself easily.”


“Haruki, answer my question!” Father spoke again as I bowed down not answering his words.


“So you did it on purpose?”


“I, did deliberately do everything. I want to ... My sister, remembered by everyone, I prefer to help my two sisters from behind the shadows, rather than accentuate myself,” I said back to my father.


“Do you understand? What will your own sister get for what you did! Your sister almost died! One of the leaders of the enemy forces was after him, and nearly killed your brother!” My father raised his voice to look at me.


“I'm sorry Dad, I shouldn't have just left him,” I said as I looked down.


“Dad, every day is always worrying about you three. Dad, can't calm down thinking about you guys. Father, just want the three of you back safely,” said my father again, his eyes bowed again followed by his palms moving to cover his face.


“I'm sorry Haruki Daddy, I .. Right, right sorry,” I said bowing my body before him.


“Rest, I have asked Luana and Sasithorn to look after your sister,” said my father back.


“I understand Dad,” I said to him, I give both my legs to walk away from him.


Both of my feet stepped down the hallway of the Palace, my footsteps halted as I passed Luana who was walking with a large bowl with a towel cloth beside her. Luana bends over to me then steps back past, “Sachi, how is she doing?” I asked without turning to look at him.


“His body was covered in a bluish bruise, but Lux had given the medicinal herbs for the wound,” he said heard in my ear. “I understand, thank you for taking care of him,” connect me back to walk forward.


“Haruki!” Luana's voice stopped my steps, I give my head turned to look at her, “follow me. Please,” he said back to me.


He turned around and left me, I gave him my legs, followed him, and walked to take me to the kitchen. Luana, moving into the one door that was in the kitchen, she turned back with a different bowl that was in her hand.


“Sit down and take off your clothes,” he said put the bowl he was holding onto the table, he turned back to take a pitcher and poured the water in it into the bowl.


I'll give both my hands to undress the armor I'm wearing, both of my legs stepped closer to the chair and sat on it while my eyes were still fixed on Luana who was walking closely with the large bowl in her hand. “Lux, asking us to give you a medicinal herb if you have returned home injured,” he said kneeling beside me as he placed the bowl he held earlier on the floor.


“Your arm,” he said pointed his left hand at me while his right hand had held the towel he had held, “what is Gritav bothering you?” I asked him when I gave my left arm over his palm earlier.


“Aunt Gritav took very good care of us,” he said as he swept the towel in his hand slowly over my arm, “Do you .. Want to go home again? I, will work on it,” I said, Luana was silent for a moment before she lifted her head to look at me.


“Do you know? What I want to do now to you,” he said trying to force a smile at me.


“Say!” Reveal to him, “aku, would love to spill this medicinal herb water over your head. Will you always treat me like I'm not human?!” Luana stood in front of me.


“What do you mean?”


“What do I mean? You ask me what I mean?” Reveal it to me with one of his palms flailing his chest.


“What is my sacrifice, completely invisible in your eyes, Takaoka Haruki? Does everything I've been doing all this time mean nothing to you?” His eyes looked back at me with both eyes reddened.
