Fake Princess
CCCLXXXV Chapter
“Beach, find shelter,” I said softly to her, the middle-aged woman nodded before she walked by holding her child away from me.
I stood up again with my eyes around, I held my hand against my chest as I stared at the people crying for their families, “Yoona, Luana, Sasithorn,” my murmur slowly followed by my two legs that step forward.
“Nee-chan, where are you going?!” Aeneas's voice rang out from behind, I continued to step forward without poking at his screams.
My footsteps moved faster and faster and faster running down the ash-filled road, I stopped occasionally by moving my head to the right and left alternately, “Yoona! Luana! A sasithorn! Haru-nii's! Izu-nii!” I repeatedly shouted their names while my feet were still running down the street.
God, I hope all three of them are okay.
The second step of my foot stopped, “what are you doing? Slide the stone!” Haruki's voice that was heard to be the cause of my footsteps stopped, I turned to the right side .. Kutatap, Haruki and Izumi were trying to push a chunk of stone with some Knights helping them.
I slowly walked towards them, my footsteps coming back to a halt as the sound of the crying of the woman on the left was heard. I turned towards the voice, I bit my lips strongly as I stared at Yoona who was embracing Sasithorn beside her, Sasithorn sitting on his knees unceasingly crying.
What the hell's going on?
I walked up to the two of them, “kak Sasithorn,” my voice sounded vibrating calling out his name.
Sasithorn turned towards me followed by Yoona who was also doing the same thing, “Sachi,” her tears looked at me, her cries getting stronger as I hugged her body.
“What happened to you, sister? What happened to you guys?” Sasithorn hugged my body again firmly, “kak Luana, he was trapped. He's stuck trying to help me, how is this?” sasithorn's embrace in my body grew stronger, and I felt the grip of his hand on my shoulder strengthen.
I turned my head towards those who were still trying to push the chunks of rock from the rubble of the building wall, “Kou!” My screams called out his name, I looked at the Knights standing beside my two brothers running to avoid him.
Kou lowered his body beside Haruki, his head moving pushing the chunk of stone. Smoke soared in the air as the large chunk of rock was shifted by Kou, Izumi pulled Haruki's arm as Haruki tried to walk closer to the underground hole previously covered by the chunk of rock earlier.
Haruki grabbed Izumi's hand, then walked up to the hole as Izumi released her hand on Haruki's arm. I came running to them, I grabbed onto Sasithorn's shoulder which had fallen down before.
“Kak,” cries Sasithorn back as Haruki slowly sits embracing Luana's body.
Haruki moved his palm touching the cheek of his fiance, “Luana, Luana,” Haruki repeatedly called out his name.
“Luana,” call Haruki once again to him, his pat on Luana's cheek stops, “kak, Luana's sister .. Please wake up,” Sasithorn's cry gets stronger, please, he raised Luana's right hand until it touched her bowed head.
“I'm sorry, if only Brother Luana did not save me, he ... He,” cried Sasithorn by raising his hand rubbed his eyes, “forgive me,” he said again with stammering.
Izumi put her foot closer to Sasithorn, “follow me,” she said slowly as she sat on her knees beside her fiance, “what should I do? Everything was my fault, this was all my fault,” Sasithorn's cries grew stronger as he raised his head to look at Izumi.
Izumi held up one hand to hit Sasithorn's nape until he was unconscious, “forgive me,” Izumi said softly as Sasithorn's head fell on his shoulder.
Izumi held onto the unconscious Sasithorn, “can you help me to look after him,” he said staring at Yoona standing behind me.
Izumi who had walked away was holding Sasithorn followed by Yoona who was also walking behind him. I turned my eyes back to Haruki who was still quietly bowed to look at Luana who was lifeless in her embrace, occasionally his hand rubbed Luana's cheeks blackened by ashes.
“Nii..” Haruki raised his head as I tried to call him, “have you guys notified Dad?” Ask a Knight who was standing nearby, “they will probably,” the Knight's speech stopped, I turned to look in the direction he saw.
“Your Majesty,” Tatsuya jumped down from the horse he was riding, “help me to prepare for his funeral,” Haruki said as Tatsuya had sat on his knees beside him.
“Yang Mu...” Tatsuya's words came to a halt as Haruki glanced at him, “this servant of yours, will immediately prepare everything,” Tatsuya said bowing his head with one hand crossed touching the chest.
Haruki again stood up by holding Luana's body, “all of you! Help the injured residents, remove all building debris from the streets. The rest, follow us back to Palace!”
“Create, Your Majesty!” Reply the Knights raised their voices before Haruki walked away from us.
I slightly glanced at Tatsuya who was still sitting with one hand covering both of his eyes, I walked over to him followed by one hand touching his shoulder. Tatsuya raised his head to look at me, I shook my head back at the look in his reddened eyes. Tatsuya lowered his head again, raising his hands to rub his eyes.

The horse I was riding slowly followed the footsteps of Haruki's horse that was walking in front of all of us. Let me take a slight glance at Luana's body which had been covered in Haruki's robe. The wooden cart carrying Luana's body was walking slowly in our midst, I glanced back at Haruki who was still closing his voice the whole way.
The more horses we rode closer to the Palace, the more tight my chest became because of it. I would love to go home, but not to go home this way .. I've warned you, if only you would listen…
I raised my head back as the sound of moving objects sounded, I raised my head to stare at the huge iron gate that was in front of us. The gate opened slowly inside, I looked at Father, Tsutomu, and also Tsubaru with Lux sitting on her shoulders standing waiting for us from behind the gate.
My father walked up to the wagon as we all walked in through the gate, My father covered his mouth as his hand exposed Haruki's brown robe that covered Luana's body, “Dad, what is really going on here?” Izumi's words made my father raise his head.
Father turned his eyes towards Tsubaru, “prepare the funeral ceremony for him,” said my father before he again covered Luana with Haruki's robe that he still held.
