Fake Princess
CdxxxIII Chapter
I glanced at Aeneas who was walking with disgust at his feet beside me, “cold,” he whispered by cupping his hands together and brought his hands closer to his mouth.
“Sachi, can Kou suppress a bit of her magic? I, really will freeze here,” whispered Lux softly beside my ear. “I can't do it, Kou did it without me pinta .. So, it's impossible to ask him to stop it,” I whispered back to him.
“How is this?”
“Lux,” I again whispered to him, “be patient, if we meet Sasithorn, I will ask him to take you,” connect me back to him.
We walked closer and closer to the human crowd with a white puff of smoke behind them, “Dasha, Princess Dasha,” said the grandfather suddenly voiced out, “the name of your real mother is Dasha, Izumi. Isshin, is the given name of your father so that the Emperor cannot find our whereabouts,” he continued speaking.
I glanced at Izumi who was still silent, ever since we got here .. For some reason, Izumi became reluctant to open her mouth. “Dasha, beautiful name,” I murmured softly while still looking ahead.
“Didn't you feel cold at all?” I raised my face as a male voice rang out, “I am fine,” I revealed to the man introduced as the older brother of his mother Izumi.
“Sachi nee-chan!” A long cry calling my name sounded, I slightly tilted my head to the side, trying to find the direction of the voice of the girl calling my name.
I smiled then walked sneaking amongst the horses walking in front of me, “Cia!” I crouched down, yelling back to her name with both of my hands raised forward.
I hugged her tightly and stood back up with her, “I heard, if you helped her,” my head was raised to the side, looking at Grandpa who had been riding his horse beside me.
“I, do not feel doing anything,” I replied to him.
The grandfather looked at us and spoke a language I did not understand, my eyes turned to Cia who answered her words in the same language followed by a smile that formed at the end of her lips. “Do you want to know our conversation?” The grandfather glanced back at me.
“I asked him, is he happy to see you again? And he replied, they are my great brothers, I am so happy to see them again,” the Grandfather continued with a smile looking at me.
My footsteps stopped, when a man and a woman stood before me. The two men bowed their bodies towards me by saying words that I did not understand. “They are both Cia's parents, they want to thank you guys for saving their Princess. Cia suddenly disappeared while being invited to hunt, they were almost desperate to look for her, because it was .. They, really want to thank you for it,”The grandfather again voiced beside me, followed by a pair of men and women who had also stood up again.
I bowed my body, releasing Cia slowly from my sling. My body moved again by looking at Cia who had run up to the woman in front of me. I glanced at a woman standing behind them, “kak,” I said calling her, she walked up to me holding both hands forward.
He stopped his steps in front of me before bowing his body towards Grandpa who was riding his horse beside me. I walked up to Sasithorn as he stood back before me, “kak,” I said firmly hugging his body, “can you help us?” This time I whispered to him.
“What can I help you with?” He whispered to me softly.
“Lux?” He whispered again very slowly, “he human is very small and has wings, help me hide it in the long hair of Big Brother. It would be very dangerous, if anyone knew of his whereabouts .. You, can help me, right, Brother?”
“I ... I understand,” he again spoke softly beside my ear.
“What are you guys talking about?”
I let go of my arms to Sasithorn and turned to look back, “sorry, I was just letting go of my sister,” I said smilingly to the Grandpa who was still staring at us from the horse he was riding.
“All residents have prepared a dinner for you, so change your clothes and come to the campfire we have prepared,” said Grandfather walked forward followed by the six people who rode following his footsteps.
“Duke,” Haruki again made a sound by glancing towards the Duke riding beside him, “what kind of welcoming ceremony did they mean earlier?” Tukas Haruki again, he walked back a few steps as Duke Masashi climbed down from the horse he was riding.
The Duke turned around and walked away from his horse, “upacanya only in the form of dinner together with the residents of the Azayaka tribe. You can use the tent to rest, we have prepared all your needs there,” said the Duke by raising his finger pointing towards the large tent that is near the small-sized tents around him.
Haruki, Izumi, and also Eneas walked past Duke, “Daughter, are you going to be okay with just wearing such thin clothes?” The Duke glanced at me while I was still standing, reluctantly moving his legs to look at him.
“I'm fine, compared to that .. I have so many questions I want to ask you, Uncle,” I said stepping closer to him.
The old Duke looked at me before he let out a long sigh, “I understand. Come with me, Princess,” he said, stepping past me.
I followed Duke's steps into a tent that was only slightly smaller than the tent he had prepared for us. He walked up to one of the chairs and sat on it, “sit down,” he said by glancing at the chair in front of him.
Duke placed his hands clasped together on the table in front of him, “so, what do you want to ask, Princess?” The moment I pulled the chair in front of him and sat on it.
“Leta, Yadgar, Balawijaya. They're not safe for the three of us, what does that mean?”
The Duke pulled his body back to lean on the back of the chair he was sitting on, “they were once one of the Kingdoms that fully supported the Empire. The Emperor, must have been targeting the nobles in those Kingdoms .. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will be safe there if you stay too long,” said the Duke, he lowered his head by removing the glove that covered his two hands.
“But, Zeki says .. If Father, ask him to hasten our marriage.”
Duke Masashi raised his face again, "Okay, why don't you ask your father, Princess? No one can guarantee the contents of a person's head and heart" she leaned back with her hands crossed at the chest staring at me.
