Fake Princess
Cdxxii Chapter
“Princess! Do you know the material for you to walk alone?!” I looked back as I felt something pull my hand.
I returned his gaze, “I did not walk alone, I brought my troops,” I told him.
I turned to the right side as the sound of ruins rang out. Sano let go of his grasp and stood behind me, “don't worry, they're my animals,” I patted him on the back and walked past him.
My footsteps came to a halt as I stared at the myriad black shadows approaching from the murky smoke emerging by the ruins of the surrounding buildings, “Acey,” I said raising my palms touching his face.
I raised my head, looking at Kou who was flying watching us from above, “you have come?” I glanced at the Manticores in front of me.
“What creatures are they?” I looked back as Sano's voice came back. “Manticore,” said I smiled at him.
“Do you guys miss human meat?” I asked back to rub the face of Acey, who became the leader of the Manticore.
“My Lord, we will not eat human flesh anymore, according to the orders he said,” he said that ringed in my head.
“What Kou banned you? But if you refuse to eat it, then I will feel very disappointed,” I said to him, "I want you, to eat all the humans you meet in this Palace. If you can, spend them all .. They deserve to die, because they are not human to me," I said by walking up to him as Acey had lowered his body to the ground.
I moved up his back by staring at Kou who was still flying above us, “Kou, watch over them. If one of them meets the two men who came with me here .. Command them not to hurt them,” I said by gripping Acey's fur as he began to get back on his feet.
“According to your orders, My Lord,” said Kou moved his body more and more flying upwards.
“Sano, go!” My orders with a glance towards one of the Manticore who had sat before him, “be careful with his tail. Or you'll die for it,” connect me again when Acey has started running away from his army.
I glanced back, towards the other Manticores who had split their forces in various directions, “what are we going to go in that magic direction?” I looked back at Acey's back who was accelerating his running pace.
“Take me there! Faster, better,” I said with a stronger grip on the fur.
I turned back, staring at the three Manticores running after us followed by one of the Manticore carrying Sano on his back. I turned my eyes forward as I felt Acey speeding up her footsteps. He stopped his steps on a wall, I glanced towards his tail that had been raised sticking up.
Acey wiggled his tail earlier, smashing heavily into that wall. I closed my nose again as a puff of dust burst into the air as the wall collapsed on Acey's tail. Acey stepped forward, taking me through a hole in the wall he made.
I raised my head, staring at the group of Knights who opened their mouths staring at us. I raised both my hands covering the ears, “Sano, cover your ears too!” Tukanku slightly raised his voice using Japanese.
I lowered my hands back from my ears as the roar from Acey stopped. With a flash, Acey lifted his tail through one of the chests of the Knight who was just about to stand up. My eyes could not escape the Knight, his body lifted by the tail of Acey .. Spasm in the air followed by white foam coming out of his mouth.
I glanced towards those who were staring at us with deathly pale faces. The screams that rang out around made me come back to my senses, I turned around … Staring at those Knights who had run off in an uncertain direction when the three Manticore who followed earlier ran about to pounce on them.
“Acey, ignore them. Just take me, to the place where you feel the black magic,” I said with a fixed gaze forward.
As Acey moved his feet toward a large hole in the floor, I glanced slightly to the left as Acey moved his footsteps down the steps that stretched from the square hole in the floor. I glanced towards the carvings that filled the walls, sometimes my reflection on the walls swayed as the flames burning in the torches blew away in the slightest wind.
The more we walked in, the stronger the sound of baby crying came into the ears. Both of my eyes grew as both of my eyes fell on a thick man standing with one hand trying to cover the mouth of the baby lying in front of the stone table in front of him.
The thick-bodied man was wearing only a piece of cloth that covered his lower body. I glanced to the left, when I heard the sound of things falling from there. An old man wearing a black robe was curled up standing in the corner of the room staring at us.
I came down from Acey's back with one hand covering my nose from the stench that came out of nowhere, the thick-bodied man retreated a few steps back as Acey followed me in the footsteps. I stopped my footsteps glancing towards Acey who was moving past, my legs again walking closer to the baby girl who never stopped crying.
“Did you advise the man to sacrifice a baby girl?” I glanced sharply at the old man who was still curling his body.
“Hime-sama,” my eyes turned towards Sano who walked into the room, “Sano, get rid of the old man! Give his body to be eaten by one of the animals I brought, this is my order,” I said glancing back at him smiling at me.
I bowed my body, grabbed and hugged the baby girl who was left wearing nothing by the two men. I patted her back slowly with the occasional swipe of her head. I walked with a glance towards Sano who was lifting the body of the old man by gripping his neck.
I walked up to them, “down him for a moment Sano!” Tukanku, Sano released his grip until the man's body fell down.
“Say, what do you know about green eyes?”
The old man coughed with one of his hands holding his neck, “mata hi-” his words came to a halt as our two eyes met each other.
“Your Majesty, green eyes ... Green eyes,” said the old man, his body slightly bounced to the side as Sano lunged strongly at his body.
“I ask you to answer my question,” I said staring at the old man who kept smiling wide at me.
