Fake Princess
Cdxix Chapter
I pressed my palm against the jug as the jug that contained me in it moved more and more. I clasped my own hands as a male voice and Sano's voice came from outside, speaking a language I didn't understand. “You want to check the contents?” Both my eyes widened as my ears caught Makoto's voice saying it.
I glanced up as I heard the sound of steps approaching, followed by a slight noise from above the jug. I thrust my hand that touched the pitcher into my hair. I took a deep breath before bending my legs and then submerged my body into the Wine.
I raised my head and lowered my head when I heard the sound of things shifting from above. My mouth was getting tightly shut as I felt the water surrounding my body surging, “how? Is the wine delicious?” Tukas Arata's voice was heard from outside.
My eyes widened as I felt a strong shock that almost made me lose my balance. I got back to my feet when the sound of things shifting came back from above. I lowered the palm that was grasping my hair earlier and moved my palm that rubbed my chest.
My breath.
I took a deep breath and exhaled, doing it over and over again until my previously irregular breath stabilized. I touched the jug again as the wagon moved. I slightly threw my face to the side when I accidentally touched the sour end of my lips with my tongue.
I looked up again when the lid of the jug was again open, “Hime-sama,” whispered Makoto who was looking at me from above.
He greeted the three swords he had previously tipped as I raised the three swords upwards. Makoto turned around and directed both of her hands into the jug. I raised both my hands around her neck as her hands were embracing and then lifted my body up. Makoto glanced down, “Sano, are you okay?” In addition, I took a glance down, looking at the feet of Makoto who was stepping on Sano's back.
Sano nodded his head, “don't worry,” he said half a whisper.
“Hime-sama,” said Makoto who made me look back at her, “forgive me,” she said again as her hand pulled me out and carried me in front of her chest.
Makoto slowly came down from Sano's back, and he walked to take me down the cart. Makoto slightly bent her legs as she slowly lowered me from her sling. I rubbed my hair, watching her as she walked closer to the wagon again.
My cheeks seemed to harden as the wind slowly touched them, the more the wind dried up the water droplets on my body. “Hime-sama,” I turned to the right when Makoto's voice came back.
He lifted a fold of brown cloth towards me, “swear you change your clothes there immediately,” he said by pointing at the black door behind him, “we will be standing guard here,” he said again by looking at me.
I raised both my hands to reach the fold of the cloth earlier, “I understand. Thank you,” I said walking through it with the clothes in hand.

I walked up to one of the wooden boxes and hid the wet clothes I had been wearing there. My body stood up again, turning to walk past several wooden boxes filled with foodstuffs in the room. My legs stopped stepping in front of a door, followed by my two moving hands opening the door.
“You are done, Hime-sama,” said Arata, I nodded my head by closing the door again.
I walked up to them, “we will split up looking for the library, then regroup here to speed up time,” I said by addressing them alternately.
“Move by a large amount will get us caught, therefore we have to split,” connect me again to them.
“I'll check Westward,” said Makoto and Arata alternately.
“I know where the library is,” said Sano who made us all turn to him, “will but, Hime-sama wants to know something about the green eye curse right? I will escort Hime-sama directly to the library .. You two, match any information from the servants. That's an order from me,” Sano said, raising his head followed by his two eyes that glanced towards the two of them.
“I understand,” said Makoto turned to walk away. “I left too, Hime-sama,” continued Arata who had also turned to move his legs away.
“Hime-sama,” Sano's voice again sounded, I turned to her who had raised one of her hands to the side.
I turned past him, “Sano, did you know ... What kind of place is this?” I asked with a slight glance towards his shadow that was walking behind.
“Are you sure you want to listen to him, Hime-sama?” I stopped my steps, turned to look at him, “does I look unconvincing in your eyes?” Tukanku who was met with a smile on the tip of his lips.
He walked over to me, “The King of this Kingdom has never been seen, from the news I heard .. He got a curse that made his body scaly a reddish white. To reduce the curse, he underwent a ritual every first night of the full moon,” said Sano who made both eyes grow staring at him.
“Ritual?”
Sano nodded his head followed by his moving index finger asking me to approach him, “he took the virginity of a baby girl who hasn't even been a year,” Sano whispered in my ear.
I pulled my face away from her along with both of my eyes glaring at her, “apa ... What are you saying is true?” I asked who was filled with disbelief.
“Hime-sama, we are vice-captain .. Sworn to only tell the truth to the members of the Kingdom. You, hurt our self-esteem if you doubt it,” he said, staring flatly at me.
“But is it true that someone does such a thing? I mean baby ... That baby-”
“The three of you were also almost killed when the baby was not?” In short, I raised my head back to his gaze, “if anyone behaves normally when killing babies who can't do anything .. Why is the deed I mentioned impossible? This world, is not as good as you think, Hime-sama,” he said again by rewinding his footsteps back a few steps.
“Did Tsubaru raise you to be a naive human being? If true, then I should punish him as leader.”
“What do you mean?”
“We are looking for information, traveling from one Kingdom to another just because we want to provide a comfortable place for His Majesty to stay with his family. Don't destroy all our hard work with the naivety you have. Sora was not that strong overnight, a lot of sweat, tears even blood from my troops that they sacrificed for Sora until it was as strong as it is now.”
“Compared to that,” he said back walking closer, my body moving forward as he pulled my arm, “food for my soul has come,” he said looking at me before turning his gaze to the side.
