Fake Princess
CCCLXXVIII Chapter
“Lux,” I said back to call him, Lux is still busy talking not memubris call I do.
I slightly glanced towards Izumi who had been sitting crouching beside me, Izumi raised her hand gripping Lux's body, “what are you doing, Izumi! Unhand me! I'm still not done talking,” he said banging on the palm of Izumi's hand that clasped his body.
“Lux!” Lux was silent for a moment as Haruki's clasping sounded in the ears, “just speak!” Haruki reopened his voice, I slightly glanced at him who was staring intently at us.
Haruki moves both hands touching the thighs, his head moves slowly down, “forgive my sister's mistake,” Haruki said while still bowing his head.
“Adik?” The voice of the old woman was heard again, “ak, My sister. I am ready to bear all his punishment, if he is worthy of punishment,” Haruki said still bowing his head.
“Haruki,” said Lux quietly sounded, I slightly glanced at her who was holding the thumb of Izumi's hand with both hands.
“I, just first saw a creature like him. I, indeed will punish him for the presumptuous attitude he did.”
“What are you doing? Don't vent my mistakes on”
“Lux!” Lux's words were again cut short by the powerful clash Haruki did, “so you, want to punish my sister for the truth she said?” Haruki again made a sound, he again raised his head which was still bowed before.
“Not to thank you, you wanted to punish my sister instead. Say it! What punishment do you want to give him?”
“You want to pluck his wings, you want to cut his body in half, or you want to directly swallow his little body alive?” Haruki continued, I slightly glanced towards the silent Lux with a deathly pale face down, “don't joke!” Haruki continued, followed by Lux who raised her head to look at Haruki.
“Do you think I'll let you touch my sisters? Hear me! Listen to the truth I'm about to say this!”
Haruki told all about Robur Spei to the old woman, at first the woman frowned hearing what Haruki said to her, “I will not force you to believe what I said. However, the waterfall that can make women have children and also him,” said Haruki pointed his index finger at Lux, “it is enough to be proof of the truth that I said is not?” Haruki returned to her.

I glanced at Lux who was still silent sitting in front of Haruki, the old woman let us go, she also said she would notify all the decisions after they had a conversation with the village elders, “Lux, she said,” said Haruki, he raised his hands crossed each other in the chest.
“Do you understand? Where's your fault located?” Haruki looked back at her, Lux was still silent a thousand languages with her gaze that had been lifted returning Haruki's gaze.
“If you hate someone, then keep that hate for yourself. If you can, create all that hate of yours, to take advantage of those you hate. Don't say, I hate him, so I have to show all my hate so he can understand, but tell yourself. Do you get it? By what I mean,” Haruki said back to him, “I understand it, and I regret it,” Lux said in response to Haruki's words.
Haruki sighed, “you're our family Lux. Remember that,” he said stood up and walked past me and also Cia, “be prepared, they invited us to come to dinner,” continued Haruki again heard followed by the sound of a squeak on the wooden floor behind us.
“Lux,” said I looked at the small shadow of his body, “what are you doing Sachi, did you not hear Haruki's words?” Lux's voice was heard approaching followed by her shadow that was increasingly flying past.
I sighed, my body stood up as my hand grabbed Cia's hand and held her tightly as she stood beside me. Cia and I walked towards the door of the house that had opened, and both of my feet stopped at the door.
I stepped down the steps following them all, both of my hands moving to hold Cia's hand so she wouldn't fall down the stairs, “where is Izumi?” Tanya Haruki stared at Eneas, “Izu nii-san guarding the back of the house. I will call him,” replied Eneas stepping her feet away from Haruki.
I glanced at Lux sitting on Haruki's shoulder, “Lux, you understand what you have to do later right?!” Haruki said a little glance at Lux sitting on his shoulder, “I understand, I will not repeat the same mistake,” Lux said directing her head to look at Haruki.
“You must remember this Lux, the more we get allies .. The easier we will be against the Empire and all that is under its leadership. We must do whatever it takes to earn the trust of those who do not trust the Empire, you are eager to reclaim the flower right?” Haruki returned to her.
“Of course, whatever happens .. I have to get the flower back, I have to,” he said back to set his gaze staring straight at the bottom.
“You have gathered? Has everything been resolved?” Izumi's voice rang out, I glanced to the right, looking at her who was walking closer with Eneas who was also walking beside her.
“Lux,” Izumi said back when both of her legs stopped stepping in front of Haruki, “sorry, because I gripped your body firmly. Are you hurt?” He looked back at Lux.
“I'm fine, even if it's my fault,” he said in response to Izumi's words, “ alright, we go now. They may have been waiting for us,” Haruki's voice again sounded break the silence.
Haruki walked back to us, I slightly stroked Cia's head with both of my legs following her footsteps from behind, "are they both okay?” Izumi's whisper that sounded slow made me turn towards her.
“I don't know, but it looks like they're fine,” I whispered back to him, “are you sure?” Izumi whispered again, I shook my head slowly answering her question.
My embrace on Cia's shoulder grew stronger as the wind that blew colder pierced the skin, the flames that lit up in the torches that slapped along the way, appearing to sway with the wind. From a distance, the sound of music mixed with singing touched my ears. I slightly looked up, staring at the smoke billowing in the air.
The longer, the more the road we passed by the torches that lined up more than before. My footsteps came to a halt when Haruki had stopped his footsteps in front of us, “you understand, what should you do instead?” Haruki's eyes were also fixed on the villagers.
