Fake Princess
CCCLXXXVIII Chapter
“Princess, let us do it,” said the head chef who stepped his feet close, “it's okay, I've been a long time .. Want to cook in the kitchen again like this, ,” my words blow air over a spoonful of warm strawberry milk in my hand.
“But Princess,” he said to me again, I put the spoon I held before onto the table, “Uncle, this is my brother's request .. How can I refuse his request when the conditions are like this,” I said slowly, I said, I stared at all those who had lowered their heads by clasping their hands together.
I turned around to reach for the ceramic glass with the lid stored in the closet, followed by a wooden tray that also lay not too far from there. I placed the two objects on the table with both hands slowly pouring the warm strawberry milk in the pot into the ceramic glass I had taken before.
“How are you guys doing?” I turned my head towards the crowd of waiters who stood looking at me, “we are all fine, Princess,” said the head chef who was greeted with a nod of the head from the others, “thank God, thank you … Having helped us take care of Dad,” I said back with a slight bow in their direction.
“Princess.”
“Do not do that, Princess,” said they alternately sounded, I raised my head back to them, “I am really lucky, have all of you,” I connect smile looking at them alternately, take turns, I stared at some of those who were down smiling, with some others raising their hands over their faces.
“Uncle,” I close the glass filled with milk earlier, the head chef standing next to me raised his head, “I would love to eat your homemade ramen, so please make me ramen for dinner later. Make sure Uncle cooks it very delicious,” I said lifting a tray with a glass of warm strawberry milk on it.
“This servant of yours, will definitely make a very delicious ramen for you, Princess,” he said bowing his body towards me, “thank you Uncle, I can't wait to taste it, I'm already looking forward to taste it,” my word again as I step foot out of the kitchen.
My feet walked down the hallway of the palace and stopped at the library door. I held the tray with one hand, while the other hand moved to open the library door. I stepped closer to Haruki who was sitting with a pile of books in front of him, “nii-chan, I brought you warm strawberry milk,” I said by putting the cup filled with milk nearby.
“Thank you,” he said without looking at me, “what are you reading, nii-chan?” I reopened my voice with my eyes glancing towards the pile of paper before him.
“Our Kingdom financial reports for the past seven years, do you want to help me check them out?” He moved his head to look at me, pulled a chair nearby and sat on it, “is there something wrong with the report?” I asked back by putting the tray I was holding to the side.
“So far there is none, because Tatsuya himself holds the financial statements of the Palace,” he said open the glass lid and drink strawberry milk in the glass, “Tatsuya?” I asked him again, Haruki put the glass he held onto the table again.
“Possibly because Tatsuya always followed me to take care of all the reports, that's why Dad gave this assignment to him. I just felt weird about this report,” he said lifting a sheet of paper at me.
I grabbed the six sheets of paper he gave me, I read carefully all the writing engraved on the paper, “there is a difference in the number here. Could this be when they visited the Niel region? You see, the help that Dad gave me, was not the same as what Niel received,” said I set my eyes on him.
I shook my head by biting my thumb softly, “noah, what about Costa? I mean he's a merchant, right? Maybe he can get info about the trade that happened at that time,”, I said looking back at him.
“Costa, I haven't heard from him in a long time. I'll try to reach him later. Has anyone disturbed your mind again?” Haruki again took a glass and drank it, “what happens to us now, will affect the regions we control?” I looked back at him with a feeling of anxiety.
“I think it will have no effect, because the one that was destroyed was only the city center, it was not too severe. So it looks like there will be no problem,” Haruki said while leaning his back against the chair, “provided this news does not come out of Sora, everything will be fine, he said,” he came back by raising one of his hands rubbing my head.
“We can stop the trip if you are tired,” I raised my head to look at him as he said it, “you and Zeki can get married, just one more year right?” He said he moved his palm just now to touch my cheek.
“You want to continue the journey without me?” My eyes are a little pushy looking at him, “I want to help you guys. Nii-chan, can't you forgive me?” My lips trembled saying that
“What do you mean? I just don't want to, something happened to you,” Haruki lowered his palm earlier on my cheek, “then what about me? Can't I worry about my own brother? I'll be on the way, no matter what,” I said, throwing my eyes off him.
“Alright, I understand. Now help me to summarize everything, I want to take a break,” he said giving a bottle of black ink and also a quill pen to me, “do it neatly, or I will have trouble reading it,” he said again who had moved both his hands holding his face on the table.
I grabbed the sheets of paper that were near his head, I put the sheets of paper in front of me while I took them piece by piece for me to read alternately, “Sa-chan,” his voice sounded, ' he said, I thrust my face towards him who had closed his eyes.
“What is nii-chan? Do you need anything?” I asked back followed by my eyes that looked back at the sheets of paper.
“Make me again later the same drink, add more honey than you made before,” murmured very slowly heard, “I understand, rest,”.
“Sa-chan,” I turned back to her as she called me, “thank you for not leaving her seven years ago. Luana, would love to say those words to you at our wedding. You know, because he can't say it .. So I represent him now,” I was bitten strongly by my lips when he said it.
“She also said, if later you marry Zeki, and also Sasithorn married Izumi, she wants to style your hair to look beautiful on the wedding day, she said, he wanted to take his two younger siblings to sit in the guarantee,” let my palms close my lips, trying to make my cries inaudible to him.
“So make sure, you guys..” His words stopped, long I stared at him who had been asleep in his dreams.
