Fake Princess
Cdxiv Chapter
“What do you mean? Zeki, what does this mean? What did he say was true?” I looked at him who was still directing his gaze towards me.
“Don't shut up and pretend you don't understand Zeki, you know what he means don't you?!”
“Do we have to discuss it here?” Both my eyes grew when I heard it.
“Daisuke,” said I turned to him, “I know if you guys are running errands, but can you?” I asked by biting on my lips that quivered as I spoke, I exhaled before raising my head to look at him again.
Daisuke sighed, “Arata, Makoto, escort the Princess back to the Palace. And the rest, the four of you .. Follow me!” Tukas Daisuke, he bent his body before moving his legs away.
“For safety, you two,” said Arata glanced at Zeki and Costa alternately, “walk a little away from us. If not, I will not hesitate to finish your lives, here, right now,” Arata said again.
“Hime-Sama,” I turned a little backwards, both my legs stepped forward as Makoto raised one of his hands forward.
“Hime-Sama, don't you want to ride a horse?” My head lifted again and shook slowly, “we walk. After all, I just want to walk to calm my mind,” I said again by keeping looking straight ahead.

The longer we walked, the more clearly the Palace gates became visible. The thought that rumbled in my head made my tiredness disappear out of nowhere, “open the gate!” I slightly glanced back as Zeki's voice sounded screaming.
The wooden gate that was before us slowly opened, I stepped in with a glance towards the Knights who were still standing on our left and right sides. My footsteps stopped, I put my body back, “so, exactly where do you want to talk about it, Zeki?” Tukasku looked at him.
Zeki walked past us, “Follow me!” His orders without looking at me.
I took a breath before I set foot following him. Zeki took us to the meeting room, he stopped his footsteps in front of the stairs then turned to look at us, “I don't want if there is a stranger who follows our conversation, Sachi, Sachi,” he opened with a glance at me.
“I do not mind the two knights, but for others no,” he said back turned, Zeki continued his footsteps up the stairs in front of us.
I turned towards Costa, “I will be waiting for you here, Princess,” he said, I nodded my head as I walked up the stairs following Zeki's footsteps with Arata and Makoto walking behind me.
The wooden door in front of us opened, “don't let anyone near,” he said stepped in, The knight who opened the door for him just now still bent his body like before.
I stepped in, I looked at the room around the room that had been clean as if nothing had happened before, even a tiny bloodstain was not visible on the floor, “what do you want to know?” I turned back towards Zeki's audible voice.
My footsteps walked over to him, “I want you to explain everything,” said I who had stood before him.
Zeki raised his head to look at me with one hand patting the stairs he was sitting on, “sit down,” he said, continuing to look at me.
“Do you not trust me?” Again, he glanced to the left side of his body.
“The princes and also the princess who survived, indeed afterwards asked to make a contract agreement. But, not the agreement as you think,” said Zeki heard beside me.
“When you three go home, the Emperor's right hand gathers us in a room. He threatened us not to divulge the secrets we saw in the forbidden forest, because if the secret was revealed .. It would have a bad effect on the Empire.”
“You definitely remember that clearly, right? How is Danur's ability to sense magic?” I nodded my head at him.
“When we collected, they gave a lot of food banquets. But Danur, asking us not to eat it .. I forgot what she said, but if I don't remember wrong, she said if the whole meal was covered in curses.”
“We were locked up a few days there, so inevitably those who were in the room had to eat the banquet to survive, I still remember clearly … How Julissa desperately forbid her sister not to eat the banquet,” he said by re-directing his gaze forward.
“You take it easy, those who were once a group with you .. No one is under the magic of the Emperor, if anything ... Kou may have killed me from afar,” she continued by turning back towards me.
“Curse?” I muttered by moving both my eyes glancing around, “Kou, have you ever felt that curse?” I asked very quietly.
“Enter, several times. I didn't tell him because the cursed ones didn't realize if they had been cursed,” Kou's answer flashed across my head.
“When? When did you feel it?”
“Males and females when you meet again with the man next to you, and also the woman you took sailing with the man who died not long ago,” Kou's words came back into my mind.
“Males and females when I met Zeki, as well as males,” my words stopped, my eyes widened as the bite at the tip of my finger grew stronger, “Princess Khang Hue and also her Brother, respectively, with Yoona and her sister. What they all-”
“Kou,” I said back to him, “do you know? What curse is it?” I asked him again.
“Sorry, My Lord, I don't know. The magic is very small, for a creature like Lux alone, it would be very difficult to feel it. Do not be too often near them, the green eyes you have, like a double-edged knife for a curse,” he said again flashed.
“What do you mean?”
“My ancestors only provided information as I said, the rest .. It's your job to find out everything by yourself, My Lord. I was only born to protect you, not to protect other humans,”, he said, which was increasingly blurred.
“Hime-Sama,” I raised my head to look at the voiced Arata. “What's wrong with you, Hime-Sama? And also, who are you talking to?” He asked by setting his eyes around.
“With amazing animals, which I will introduce to you, soon,” said I smiled at him.
I again lowered my gaze, my mind drifted to think of everything that had happened during this time, “what is it?” I raised my head back to look at Zeki as I felt a soft touch touching my back.
“I, only doubt .. Whether I am, actually a human or not,” I said again avoiding his gaze.
