Fake Princess
CCCLXXI Chapter
“Tsu nii-chan can do it right?” Tsubaru long ago looked at me before she again nodded her head. “Your words are an absolute command for me, Princess,” he said bowing before me with one hand moving to his chest.
Tsubaru again stood up and turned to walk away, still I looked at him who was moving his feet closer to his horse. I raised my hand waving towards Kazuya who had also been staring at me from the top of his horse, Kazuya bowed from the top of his horse towards me as I did so.
The two golden-roofed horse carriages that were in front of us slowly moved along with the dozens of mounted Knights accompanying him, “nii-chan, did Dad travel by just carrying this army?” I slightly whispered to Haruki who had been standing next to me.
“Of course not,” Izumi who had also been standing beside him opened his voice, “ the remains of the troops waiting for them outside the Kingdom. If Dad brings the whole army in, they'll all know we're alive. Therefore, Father only brought troops who once drove him to Balawijaya to enter this place,” said Izumi, I slightly glanced at him who had turned to step his foot up the Palace stairs.
“What does Izu nii-chan say is true?” I again asked Haruki who was still standing beside me, “all that he said was true. That's why, Izumi was a little angry when you said the words last night to Dad,” this time Haruki turned around to put his foot on Izumi's footstep.
I've stepped foot to follow those who have re-entered the Palace, “Izu-nii, are you still angry because of my attitude last night?” My footsteps got faster and faster when I ran towards him.
Izumi stopped her footsteps and turned to look at me, “I'm not angry, I'm just a little tired, just want to rest for a while before we continue the journey,” she said moving her neck around with one hand holding the back of her neck.
I walked following her footsteps from behind, “apa nii-chan wants me to cook something?” I asked to turn to him, “no need. You haven't rested from last night, have you? Rest,” he said patting my head softly before his eyes looked straight ahead again.
“Talking about last night,” Haruki's voice heard from behind stopped our footsteps both, “what did both of my sisters do? Is my life her brother is so interesting that they even try to peek at what I do?” Haruki continued, I slightly glanced at Izumi who had also glanced at me.
“I'm tired, I leave everything to you, My sister,” said Izumi patted my head followed by her two legs that were getting away from leaving. “Sa-chan,” I took a strong bite of my lips as my ears again caught the sound that Haruki let out.
I let out a long sigh before my body turned to look at him, “nii-chan,” I said smilingly looking at him, “I was tired too, I also wanted to rest just like Izu-nii,” my call back to him.
“If you repeat it again. I will not guarantee what I will do to you two,” he said, to which I immediately greeted with a nod of the head.
Haruki again continued his steps, he again stopped beside me with both eyes glancing at me, “rest, because after this .. We will visit a place that is a little dangerous. Do you understand what I mean?” She smiled back at me before her legs went back past me.

I walked along the Palace hallway with both hands clasping Cia's arms, who also walked beside me. Our footsteps came to a halt as Izumi and Eneas suddenly appeared from the other side of the passageway on the right. “Have you prepared everything?” Izumi opened her voice as they also stopped their steps, turning their head towards us.
Izumi raised her hand towards me, “give me the bag. I'll take him.”
I raised my hand to grab the bag and put the bag over her hand, “what does Izu-nii know? Where are our next destinations?” I asked when Izumi put the rope on the bag hanging on her shoulder.
“I don't know, Haruki didn't tell me anything at all,” Izumi turned back and then stepped next to Eneas who was walking beside her. “She said, if the place we will visit later is a little dangerous, and it makes me very curious,” said I stepped foot with Cia behind him.
“He probably said it because he wanted you to be vigilant, because for women .. All places in the world are very dangerous,” he said while still looking straight ahead.
“Maybe what nii-chan said is true. After all, the places we visited before, were all dangerous and almost killed me,” I bowed before again raising my head straight ahead.
We again walked down the hallway of the Palace without making any sound, Cia's grasp on my hand growing stronger as we had stepped through the Palace's door. My footsteps moved even faster as my eyes fell on Haruki who had been sitting waiting on his horse followed by some Knights who were standing around him, “what are you doing? You guys made me wait a very long time,” Haruki said as he raised his head staring at us.
Izumi stepped closer to her brown horse, “if it is true as you say. So, forgive us brother,” he said when he was sitting on his horse.
“Hime-Sama,” said they took turns who had lined up standing before me, “what is it?” I asked as I let my eyes look at them alternately.
“We, feel proud while fighting under your command, Hime-Sama,” said Sanjiv who stepped forward and bowed his body towards me with one hand crossed in the chest.
“Hime-Sama,” this time Gritav stepped foot closer, “aku, will always pray for your safety. Take good care of yourself, Hime-Sama,” he said smilingly looking at me, I released my hand that held Cia's hand before as I put my hand in the palm of Gritav, “Gritav, thank you. Because it has helped me all this time here,” I said smiling back at him.
“It has become my duty, Hime-Sama,” he said moving his fist down in front of me.
“For you too Arata, thank you ... For everything you do, for all the help you gave me during here.” said I turned my eyes to him, I looked up to him, Arata long looked at me before his head nodded once in reply to the words I said to him.
“Adofo,” I moved my head back to look at him who was still standing next to Arata, “what are you, having thought of the offer I gave you yesterday?” This time I smiled at her who was looking at me with her two slightly enlarged eyes.
Adofo bent his body followed by his arms crossed in his chest, “if you need a shield, Hime-Sama. Do not hesitate to use my body as your shield in war,” he said while still bowing for a long time towards me.
