Fake Princess
CCCLXXXVI Chapter
My head bowed with occasional glances at the sobbing Sasithorn beside me, I held up one of my hands to touch his back, and lowered his head as I did so.
I thrust my palm against my left thigh, I firmly grasped the black kimono I was wearing as Haruki again stood before Luana's grave. The dirt on his fingers was clinging to the black kimono he was wearing.
I turned around to step foot as Father led the group back to the Palace, I could tell both of my eyes were glancing slightly towards Izumi who was still directing her eyes towards Haruki who until now had not let out a word.

“Don't take your eyes off one of your brothers.”
Sabra's grandmother's words were ringing in my head again, I immediately got out of bed, put my feet near the door and opened it. Both of my feet moved quickly down the hallway of the palace, “nii,” my words came to a halt as Izumi turned around by putting her index finger touching her lips.
I walked slowly closer to her, “what is nii-chan doing?” My whisper beside her, “listen to it,” Izumi whispered beside me.
I followed him leaning against the wall of Haruki's room, my mouth clenched silently as the voices of Father and also Haruki sounded from behind the wall, “why do you want to drink?” My father's voice again sounded in tandem with a voice like a thing being placed.
“I don't drink Dad, or your beloved Princess will babble me if she finds out,” I took a strong bite of my lips when I heard it.
“How many months? How many months has it been?”
“I only found out three months ago,” Haruki's voice from behind the wall rang out, “I asked Luana to hide it from anyone, in order for them,” Haruki's speech stopped sounding.
“I'm sorry Dad, if Dad was more alert .. You probably won't lose him and your future son,” this time my father's voice sounded vibrate from behind the wall.
“It wasn't your fault Dad. I'm the one who can't give them a safe place .. Dad, does it feel like this sick when Dad gets the news of our death?”
“My son,” I close my mouth tightly with one hand, while the other side of my hand rubs tears that never stop.
“When the funeral, I want to apologize to them, I also want to say .. Take care of our son, Luana. I'll reply to all of them who have hurt you, but I can't .. I don't want to make Izumi or Sachi worried,” Haruki's words are heard again, I slightly glanced at Izumi who had clenched both hands, Izumi turned towards me then lowered her head as I clasped her hand.
Izumi stepped away as I let go of my hand to her, followed by me stepping on her foot. My footsteps stopped when Izumi stopped her footsteps in front of me, “wear, your feet must be cold,” she said bowing then turned around with the sandals she was wearing in her right hand.
“Wear,” said Izumi again, she bowed before me by putting the slippers she held earlier near my feet, “you said yesterday if Sabra's grandmother said something to you didn't?” He stood up again in front of me.
I moved my legs alternately wearing the sandals he gave me, “nekir Sabra asked me not to take my eyes off my brothers,” I told him.
I bowed my legs following him sitting on the bench, “I was very worried about Haru nii-chan,” I said looking up my head at the sky that looked plain without stars.
“But Haruki, definitely will not be comfortable if we do,” I again lowered my glance glanced at him, “what about your circumstances?” Izumi again asked with a slight glance towards me.
“I'm fine, I have ordered Kou to keep watch in case the dragon belonging to the Emperor returns to attack Sora,” I again glanced at him as Izumi's breath sounds clearly in my ears, “is this a threat from the Emperor? Because we often destroy all his plans,” Izumi again voiced out.
“It seems, because from the information I got .. Dragon belongs to the Emperor, only had time to destroy the city center, it was only a short time before we reached Sora,”.
“Haruki must have hated me, because I supported Dad back then to bring Luana and Sasithorn back to Sora, after you desperately forbade him,” he said by raising his right arm to cover both eyes.
“Sasithorn says, if he and Luana are chased by some people who want to kill them. They only wanted to hide themselves, but ... Dragon Emperor suddenly attacked, destroying a lot of buildings, until Luana was trapped for trying to help Sasithorn.”
“Do you remember when we were in the forest?” Izumi spoke again, “ back then, I was anxious to leave Luana in the middle of the forest, maybe Haruki also had the same thoughts as I thought back then. I really did not expect, if there would be a day I heard Haruki himself crying, fate is really funny is not?” Connect Izumi with a little sigh he let out.
“How would my niece's face be if she was still alive until she grew up, could she have the same smile as her father. The fool,” said Izumi with a voice that sounded vibrating, “she should not bear everything herself. What kind of nonsense did he say? Not wanting to make us both worry, how can I not worry about him,” Izumi continued back, I stared at her slightly quivering lips as she spoke.
“What are you two doing here?” Izumi lowered her arm that covered her eyes earlier, then turned back, “Daddy, what is Dad doing here?” Izumi asked him back.
“Even Dad wants to ask, what are you two doing?” He asked, Izumi and I moved aside, making room for Dad to sit in our midst.
“We are just trying to get some fresh air,” Izumi reopens her voice, “by eavesdropping on the conversation between your Father and brother?”
“Daddy realized?” Connect Izumi again with a nod to Dad's head, “how is Haru nii-chan, Dad?” This time I looked at him.
“Father asked him to rest, today .. Too heavy for him to accept,” said my father lowered his head.
“You should hide them first before you do. Dad didn't know if he was the Emperor's spy all this time, if you knew it from the beginning. What kind of father am I .. I do not pemubris all the warnings that my children give after all this time,” said my father raised both hands cover his face.
“I failed to maintain the happiness of my son, I failed to provide a comfortable home for my son, daughter-in-law and grandson.” I move around hugging her body, “Dad, Haru nii-chan will get worse if she finds out what Dad said. Haru-nii, all of us .. Trust you so much Dad, we just have to avenge all of their deeds. I swear, I will destroy the Empire until it is destroyed. I won't die, before I give the Emperor's body to be Kou's meal."
"Therefore, we must be strong to avenge all the deeds they do," I said again with a slight glance towards the shadow of Haruki who was hiding behind one of the Palace's pillar stones.
