Fake Princess
CCCLXVII Chapter
“Nii-chan, did I wake you?” I asked Haruki who opened his eyes slowly.
“You're aware?” He asked me again, I answered his words with a soft nod to my father. “Where is Izumi?” Haruki asked again, moving his head around the room.
“Izu nii-chan is going to the kitchen, she is getting water for me,” I said, "don't move too much,” Haruki told me while I was still trying to get to sit down.
“But my chest feels tight linger like this,” I said to him, “stay, if you don't want the wound on your back to get worse,” Haruki stood up and moved his palms gently patting my head.

A week passed, my back had improved slightly compared to before. All thanks to Lux, Luana and Sasithorn who really took care of me, “Tsu nii-chan,” I said a little glance at him who was walking behind me.
“Do not blame yourself anymore, this is not your fault” I said back to him, still heard his footsteps walking behind me.
“You, will not be hurt like this, if I do not leave you alone, Princess,” he said sounding softly in my ear.
“I'm the one who's not careful, any more .. Quickly, I'm hungry,” I said speeding up the footsteps leaving him.
Both of my feet stepped quickly near the dining room, my footsteps stopped for a moment when I stared at all those who had sat or stood in their respective positions, “ayah,” I said walking closer to him, I hugged her body and kissed her cheek as I stood next to her.
“Do you sleep well? How's your back?” He asked me repeatedly, “I'm fine Dad, my back has also started to improve. Thank you,” said I turned my eyes to Sasithorn and also Luana who was sitting opposite Haruki and Izumi.
“Thank God if you get healthier,” said my father, I turned around and smiled at him.
“Because everyone has gathered, Haruki and Izumi .. When will you two get married?” Asked my father who was greeted with a little spray of water from Izumi's mouth, Izumi was bowed by banging her chest hard as she did not stop coughing from it.
“After everything is done Dad,” said Haruki, he lifted the cup filled with coffee in front of him and sipped it slowly before he put the cup back on the table.
“I too, will be like that Dad,” said Izumi chimed in Haruki's words.
“Do you two not mind?” This time my father turned his eyes to look at Luana and Sasithorn alternately.
“We have discussed it, so they will not mind,” Haruki said again, greeted by nods from Luana and Sasithorn.
“Alright, if you have thought about it. And you, what about you and Zeki?” My father turned his eyes to me.
“Me and Zeki have also talked about it, he will propose to me after it's all over,” I said with a slight murmur to my father.
“And you will instantly become Queen after marrying her later,” said my father, “it is a gift for my waiting after so many years accompany her, Father,” I smile back to her.
“Then, Aeneas, how about you?”
“I?” Aeneas asked back, My father nodded in response to his words.
“Call me Father like everyone else, I have regarded you like my own son, Takaoka Aeneas,” said my father who made Eneas stunned for a moment.
“So, if you meet the girl of your choice, let me know. I'll wave it straight to you,” said my smiling father looking at him.
“My age is only ten years old, but somehow .. I feel very happy to hear it, Father,” said Aeneas who had stopped, in a downcast that was greeted with a soft clap of Izumi's hand on his back.
“So she's Cia, the kid you found?” My father looked back at Cia who was sitting in the middle of Luana and Sasithorn.
“We deliberately took him during the trip, so if we managed to find his place of residence, we can directly give it back to his parents,” Haruki said biting a piece of meat in his fork.
“I understand,” said my father while sipping a cup of coffee in his hand.
“I, will give up this Kingdom under the watchful eye of Sanjiv and Gritav, with Arata coming to guard behind the shadows. And you two, will come with me back to the Kingdom of Sora,” my father told Luana and Saithorn.
“We both?” Luana asked back who was greeted with a soft nod to my father's head.
“You will be safer under my direct supervision, so I will take you back to the Kingdom of Sora with me,” my father said back to them.

I walked down the hallway of the Palace with Tsubaru walking behind me, I turned towards the Garden beside the hallway. I'll give my legs a stop in the middle of the field as I lift my head up to look up at the sky. “Kou, come! I need your help,” I said slowly staring at the sky that had appeared fragments of ice around it.
I stared at Kou's body flying around above us before he finally set his foot on the ground, “I need your blood, Kou. I have to heal my back immediately in order to quickly continue the journey,” I said to him, Kou moved his head to the side biting his right body.
I put my foot over him, put my lips closer to the wound on his back. A cold and fishy feeling filled my mouth when I gave my lips sucked the blood that ran through the wound he had made earlier. I bowed with a slight grip on her body, I was bitten strongly by my lips as I felt the bones in my back slowly shift.
I give both my hands rubbing the dripping sweat, “Princess,” Tsubaru said behind me.
“I'm fine Tsubaru, I'm completely healed,” I told him.
I stared at the wound that was on Kou's body was slowly closing by itself, I gave my palm rubbing his head that moved closer to my body, “how are you?” Ask him.
“I, alright My Lord. There is nothing to worry about,” he said increasingly moving his head leaning on my shoulder.
“Bring me flying, I want to see the situation around,” I said back to him.
“According to your order, My Lord,” Kou raised his head then walked backwards.
I stepped my foot over him when Kou had lowered his body, I gave my body a climb up his body, “Tsu nii-chan, I wanted to walk around for a while with Kou,” I said looking at him, Tsubaru nodded her head back at me.
I hugged Kou firmly by the neck as he moved his body back to his feet, Kou again lowered his legs a little, with one strong flap of his wings.
