Fake Princess
Cdxxxiv Chapter
I stood up and walked in the footsteps of Duke Masashi behind him, Duke stopped and raised his hand to open the curtain that became the door in the tent. He stood sideways by raising his hand outwards, I moved both of my legs walking past him as he nodded then lowered his gaze.
“What are you guys doing inside?”
I turned my head to the side, looking at the three of them who had come out from within the large tent in turn. “Talking about nothing,” I said walking closer to them.
“Are you guys done?” I made a sound again by walking sideways past them, “if yes, now it is my turn to change clothes,” connect me again by lifting the curtain on the tent and then walk into it.
I walked over to the wooden bed in the tent, I took off one piece for the sake of the clothes I was wearing now as I reached and put on the fold of hairy cloth on the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and lowered my head to reach for the leather shoes that lay under the wooden bed.
“How can his shoes fit so well in my body? Even his clothes too,” muttered me slowly by tapping the shoes to the ground as I stood up again.
I grabbed the leather bag I had previously placed on the bed and then put it on my shoulder. My body turned around, stepped near the curtain and lifted the curtain with one of my hands. “You're done?” Tukas Izumi turned his head as I walked over to them.
I nodded my head as I grabbed a cloth ribbon from inside the bag I was carrying, “training? Does nii-chan know, rather what training is?” I asked by raising both hands to lock my hair that was scattered using a red ribbon cloth that I took from inside the bag before.
“Somehow, I'm not too sure,” Haruki said walking over to me, his hands raised up, helping to tie the ribbon in my hair.
“How about you, Izu nii-chan?”
“I am too, I am just like you who do not know anything,” he said by turning his eyes towards Duke Masashi who walked closer.
“Do you guys have finished preparing, if it is already .. We have to get there immediately, they may have been waiting,” he said who had stopped his footsteps near us.
Haruki pulled his hand back from my head before he walked up to Duke Masashi who had already left us. “Padah, the air here is very cold. But look, the sky,” I raised my face upwards when Izumi's voice beside me said it.
“Very bright,” said I raised my palm to dispel the glare of the sun that fell into the eye.
The sound of music rippled from a distance, getting stronger and stronger in the ears as we stepped closer and closer. I turned towards the Grandfather who raised his right hand upwards, a momentary silence as he clasped his hand. He turned to look at the residents sitting around him, The grandfather said something in a language I did not understand until all the residents directed their bodies to sit towards us.
“I often tell how amazing my grandchildren are, so they are very curious about my other grandchildren,” said the Grandfather turned his eyes to the side followed by his right palm caressing the back of his neck.
“Izumi,” Haruki said quietly, I glanced towards Izumi who was standing on her back to us.
Izumi bowed her body towards all of them, followed by Haruki, Eneas and then me. “We are Takaoka brothers, please help,” Izumi said before she got back on her feet.
“Come here,” said the Grandfather by waving his hand at us.
I stepped following Izumi who had first walked up to that Grandpa, “Izumi, I handed you over to your Uncle Altan. Haruki, you will be under the watchful eye of your Uncle Ulagan,” said the Grandfather with his hand raised pointing towards the two men who previously rode behind him.
“Eneas, you will be under surveillance, Chinua,” he said, followed by a man whom he appointed as our previous cousin. “Then you, Sachi,” he said as his eyes glanced at me.
“Qadan, I handed it to you,” he said by glancing at the man sitting next to him.
I stepped up and sat beside Sasithorn who had been staring at me from a distance, “kak,” I whispered by bringing my face closer to him.
“Is she okay?” I whispered back to Sasithorn with a nod of the head. “He said if he wanted fruit, so I would bring fruit for him before returning to the tent,” he said very slowly heard beside me.
“Sister, thank you,” I said, Sasithorn raised his head and smiled at me.
“Sachi, Qadan, follow me!” I turned to look at Grandpa as his voice sounded.
I glanced at Duke Masashi, my body standing up as he nodded his head back at me. My two feet walked leaving the crowd, following the two of them who had walked first in front of me. The grandfather took the two of us up a grass hill a little far from where the residents had gathered before.
“I want to see it!” Reveal Grandpa when he stopped his footsteps and turned to look at me.
“See?”
“That's a magic contract, right?” He came back by patting her by the side of her neck.
I raised my palm, closed the contract mark between me and Kou that was beside the neck, “where did you know it?”
“Designed once, you said like that to my Grandfather as well as the Chief,” I turned to the side when the man walking with us suddenly made a sound.
“I don't immediately trust, or respect someone I just met. In fact, those we have known for a long time, there is no guarantee if they will betray us or not,” I said by taking my eyes off the two of them.
“You grew up, by not trusting others?”
“We grew up, trusting only ourselves and our family,”.
“Kudou, not only my son-in-law, but he is already like my own Son. Although, you, Haruki or Aeneas are not Isshin's children, but I also consider you my grandchildren as Izumi. In other words, all of us here are your families. That's why Kudou, sending you all to visit here,” he said with a smile looking at me.
“Sachi!”
My body was jolted as Izumi's snapping voice sounded from behind, “come home!” His voice sounded hard in my ear.
I turned around, then set foot toward Haruki who had waved her hand beside Izumi, “I know, if we have blood relations. But that doesn't mean, I'm going to give up my family, especially my sister just like that.”
“What's that way, you guys treat your own Grandpa?”
“And what is it like, want to know the secret that is in our sister, by separating her from her brothers?”
Izumi turned around after the words Haruki had said earlier, “we are back,” Izumi said with a glance towards the two of us alternately.
