Fake Princess
Cdvii Chapter
Zeki asked me to stay in the room that King In-Su had provided for him, the wound that was on my arm had actually been healed by Kou, but still. Although I myself understand the reason, but lingering here, makes me very uncomfortable.
“You're up?” I tilted my body, looking at him who was opening the door of the room, “how? Did you get any word from my brother?” I asked back as he walked over with a tray full of food in his hand.
“Both of your brothers, will be here any minute. I have informed them,” he said, sitting on the floor beside the bed, “how are you?” He asked by raising his palm to touch my forehead.
Zeki put the tray he held onto the floor, “I'm fine. I told you, didn't I? If I have recovered from far away,” my words back to move the body lying on my back, I pull the blanket that covers my waist up to cover my shoulders, “I really want to get out of here soon, you must be very bothered right?” I asked back with my head turned towards him.
Zeki lowered his head, he grabbed a bowl that was on the tray, “you were right. That damn king, I really want to kill him,” I chuckled as I listened to what he said, “what is he still insisting on taking me away from here?”
“He still insists. Wherever possible, I gave you to him,” he said by stirring a spoon in the bowl he held.
I sat up and moved my body to the side staring at him, “I know. Did you bring me something sweet?” I slightly moved my head forward, trying to stare at whatever was on the tray.
“I asked Kesatriaku to buy food outside the Palace. That king, forbid his cooks to cook food for you, as long as you are still with me,” he said by giving a woven box to me, “what is this?” I asked when I opened the rope that tied the box earlier.
I grabbed a flower-shaped cake in the box, “red beans,” I said as I chewed the cake, occasionally glancing towards the stuffing of red beans in the cake.
“Do you like it?” I nodded my head by biting back at the cake that I did not know what it was called.
I pointed the woven box I was holding at him, “you should try it,” I said with a headband.
“I don't like sweet food, you know it isn't,” he said grabbing the box earlier then swapping it for the bowl he held, “eat it. I was worried about your body being too light,” he said leaning on the edge of the bed as he had put the woven box back into the tray.
“Zeki,” I said calling his name, my eyes are still fixed on the porridge in the bowl.
“What's up?” Stir it up with a little head to the bed, “forget it,” connect me close to a spoonful of porridge and eat it.
“Don't make me curious,” he turned around with one hand holding his face.
“Not important, I just want to know your opinion while you are still right in front of me,” I said again stirring the porridge in the bowl.
“Say! Or I won't sleep well tonight because I think about it.”
“Both of my brothers do not know this, I do not want to worry about them so much with you,” I stopped my words for a moment and took a deep breath, “but I, will say this to you, I will say this to you, since I have promised not to hide anything,” I said smilingly looking at him.
“I want you to start taking into account getting to know other women,” I said bowed as both of her eyes looking at me grew bigger.
“Omong empty what kind of you say it is?!”
“This is not nonsense, this is the truth. Watching Haru nii-chan as she lost Luana made me realize something. My age, will not be long Zeki .. Therefore, start glancing at other women.”
“Say more clearly, I didn't hear it,” he said, I raised my head to look at him as I felt something gripping my arm.
“The forced contract that Kou did, took my age. I will probably do that more often in the future. Therefore, I ask you to get ready for all the worst possibilities that will happen.”
“Do you think I can do it? During the journey, I never once met a woman who felt the joy of living in this world. I'm not that bad, to close my eyes from their suffering,” I bite my lips as my outgoing voice trembles a little.
“Use that head! Those women you mean, did they ever thank you? You're hurt, they won't care!”
“What are you two fussing about? We can even hear your voice from outside,” I turned my gaze towards the door as the room door opened from outside.
Izumi went inside, followed by Eneas and also Haruki who were walking behind her, “I asked, what are you two fussing about?” Izumi continued back, she closed the door when Haruki or Eneas had been sitting on the floor looking at me.
“There is no nii-chan, there is only a slight misunderstanding between us,” I glanced towards Zeki with one hand touching his hand that gripped my arm.
“Our conversation is not yet finished,”he took off the clutches of his hands and sat back by the bed.
“Nii-chan, do you guys bring good news?” I switched the conversation by looking back at Haruki.
“I have found out, where our stolen Kingdom money is flowing to,” he said, he turned to Aeneas with one hand of Haruki raised towards him.
“Costa helped me in the city,” he said, handing over the sheets of paper he got from Eneas.
“Costa? Is he here?” I asked back by grabbing the sheets of paper earlier.
Haruki nodded his head, “dia also asked how you were when we met.”
“Just say, I'm fine with him,” my words scratched slowly forehead with both eyes still staring towards the sheets of paper.
“Costa?” I turned towards Zeki, “dia, Haru nii-chan's friend. He helped us a lot first,” I said staring back at the paper in hand.
“Or rather, one of the men who fell into the charm of Sachi. He even gave you a lot of money, didn't he?”
“Nii-chan,” I said glaring at Izumi, “don't sprinkle salt over the wound,” connect me with a smile looking at him.
“But I say honesty, I just say honesty,” continued Izumi, she lay on the floor with one hand waving at me.
“How are you doing?” I turned to Haruki when his voice sounded, “I'm fine. The wound has healed, nii-chan,” I replied with a slight glance at my right arm.
“Sorry, Sa-chan. I was forced to shoot you back then,” Haruki said which made us all turn towards him.
“What do you mean? You're saying, if he gets hurt by your arrow?” I stood up as Zeki had moved by clutching Haruki's clothes.
“Zeki, don't do that,” I said with his arm, “nii-chan. What nii-chan is doing, help me!” Tukanku towards Izumi who was lying sideways watching us.
“Can't you control yourself? A man like you, would not understand ... Why do I do it,” Haruki said with a glance towards Zeki's hand that gripped him.
