Fake Princess
CCCLXX Chapter
My footsteps stopped again at the door, I took a deep breath as possible before my hand gently knocked on the door that was in front of me, “Dad, can I come in?” I made a soft voice while my hand was still knocking on the door.
“Come in,” her voice sounded softly in my ear, I walked in as both my hands opened the door slowly. “Dad,” said I stopped looking at him, Dad turned to look at me from the chair he was still sitting in with one hand waving at me, “come here,” my father said back heard.
I walked up to him with my eyes occasionally glancing towards Izumi who was looking at me from the chair she was sitting in, “Dad,” I said kneeling beside her feet, my hands grabbed and clasped her hands firmly.
“Im sorry Sachi, Dad. Sorry, if my attitude was to you is very inappropriate.” said I lowered my head by placing my forehead in both hands that I held earlier.
“There is no need to apologize, I understand exactly how you feel,” said my father, he moved both hands clasping my hands and kissed her, “should be Dad, who should apologize to you, he said,” said my father back with one hand moving rubbing my left cheek.
“As a Father, I cannot give a safe place to my own children. As Father, I have failed to take care of all of you. You still call me Dad for what happened all this time, it's like a gift to me,” he continued in a voice that sounded vibrating.
“Dad,” this time Haruki's voice sounded, I turned towards the sound of the door opening followed by his shadow coming into the room, “don't say like that, Father, Father,” he said walked up to the seat beside Izumi and sat on it.
“Dad made the farewell to Daddy's return home sad,” this time Izumi chimed in on Haruki's words.
“You know Dad, what has strengthened us all this time?” Haruki made a sound again with a slight glance at me, “we, strengthen each other by remembering all the memories we did in the past at Palace.”
“Aaahh I would love to, tease Sachi back in front of Dad when we return home. I, already can't count ... How many times those words have crossed my head,” Izumi again cut Haruki's words.
“Because it's Dad, as long as Dad is always healthy, as long as Dad is always happy and as long as Dad,” Haruki said stopped for a moment, he took a deep breath before resuming his words, “during Dad, he said, still waiting for us to come home. We, will be fine. Because maybe, we can be fine like now .. That's all thanks to do’a that Dad always did,” continued Haruki smilingly looking at him.
“Alright, Dad will not talk like that anymore,” said my father returned the gaze of Haruki and Izumi, I give both my hands firmly grasping the trembling hand. “Dad, stay handsome and also healthy. Don't push yourself too much, don't forget about mealtime.Since Sachi wants, if I have children someday..I want Dad to be able to carry him, I want Dad to be able to take him on a horse ride, just like Dad did to Sachi back then,” my words came to a halt, I took a deep breath as I could as I bowed my head back on his lap.
“I love you Dad. I love you more than any man I've known. Thank you for making me your daughter, I .. No longer feel the lack of affection, it is all thanks to you, Father. It's all thanks to me having you as my father,” my tears by putting one of his palms against his cheek.
“Finally she cried too.”
“Faster than I expected,” continued Haruki chimed in on Izumi's words.
“Daddy understand, you guys too .. Must take care of each other during the trip, immediately tell Dad if something happens. Dad will always be waiting for you to come home,” he said, Dad smiled when he kissed me on the forehead.

I set foot next to my father, my grip on his arm getting stronger as the gates of the Palace Gate got closer in view. My father and I walked side by side down the steps, two black horse carriages with golden roofs standing firmly at the base of the steps complete with dozens of mounted Knights surrounding them.
Dad stopped his footsteps, he turned to look at me when I also stopped the footsteps beside him, “Dad left your two brothers to you, Sachi,” said my father with his palm touching my head, “the greatness of your two brothers in fighting .. Indeed I never doubted. However, you must understand what I mean, right?” My father spoke again with a little turn to look at Haruki and Izumi who were driving Luana and Sasithorn to one of the horse carriages.
“I understand Dad, I will do as you say,” I said looking at him as he turned his body back to look at me. “And for you too, take good care of yourself. If on the street you want to buy something, or you need something .. Don't hesitate to ask him directly to Dad,”so my father came back, he grabbed my head, he grabbed my head, she pushed him slowly towards her face before he kissed me again.
“Do the Father. And Dad too, be careful along the way,” I said pinching his left cheek as he pulled back his hand that touched my head earlier.
Dad patted me gently again before he turned around and walked over to Haruki and Izumi, “Daughter,” male voices were heard from behind me.
I turned to look at Tsubaru who had been standing in front of me, “what is Tsu nii-chan?” I ask by stepping my feet closer to him.
“Take care of yourself Princess. Don't push yourself too much, and..” he said stopped with his head lowered trying to avoid my eyes, “aku, will send you a letter Tsu nii-chan. Make sure, nii-chan replies to her quickly when she receives it,” I said smilingly looking at her.
Tsubaru bowed his body in front of me with one hand touching on the chest, “ according to your orders, Princess,” he said back up and smiled at me.
“Tsu nii-chan, sorry .. Sorry for always bothering you all this time, even more so when we ran away from your guard a few months ago,” I said with a head bow avoiding his gaze.
“I've forgotten it. This servant of yours has understood the truth, What kind of daughter he raised,” he said back to me.
I walked forward to approach him, I raised both my hands to reach out and clasped his hands, “Tsu nii-chan, I left my father. I leave Sora, and I leave everything in it to you. It may sound a little selfish, but .. Nii-chan, the second person I trusted so much after my family,” I said stalled, long I stared at him who was still looking at me.
“And also,” I said back by stepping closer to him, “help me to find out about...” I whispered very slowly to him.
