Fake Princess
Cdxxxix Chapter
Haruki stood up, “will you guys continue to hide here?” Haruki asked followed by his bowed face looking at us.
I moved as I glanced at Izumi who had been standing beside Haruki, “do you still want to ask me something?” Tukas Haruki glanced at me as his footsteps began to walk forward.
I followed his steps, “I don't think, why did he do it? I mean, endangering himself,” I said by directing my gaze towards his two stepping feet.
“Then, how about you?” I raised my face as Haruki asked back, “why did you risk your own life to save Eneas?”
I took a deep breath, as my ears caught what Haruki said, “Eneas almost lost her life back then. After all, the two are clearly different things,” I looked at him who was walking back.
“The same thing, done by Zeki or me. Because our Kingdom is next to Il, so any news will spread quickly to him. What if he finds out, news of the surviving Princess of the Kingdom of Sora? You, will be in danger, Sa-chan."
“Since childhood, many have wanted to kidnap you because of the news of your cleverness that could somehow be heard to some other Kingdom, if the little princess that they once wanted to kidnap, now has grown up. And also, it would be troublesome to invite you to travel if only the news about you spread.”
“We were just like you when you helped Eneas, it's just .. We did it before all that happened,” Haruki stopped his steps while looking at me, “Yadgar was strong, he said, leta was behind him. Don't worry too much about anything,” he said again by raising his right hand towards me.
I took a few steps closer to her, Haruki grabbed my shoulders as our footsteps both moved back, “do you not trust me?”
I turned to her who was walking on the side, “what do you mean, nii-chan?”
Haruki glanced at me, “aku, will try to provide security for my sisters. Trust anyone, their business is a betrayal or not. After all, if he really betrayed like you were worried about, he would have died in my hands long ago,” he continued followed by a slow swipe that touched his head.
“Izumi,” Haruki raised his head, then directed him to look back, “do you want to stay here, longer?” Haruki asked, I glanced towards the left as Izumi's shadow also walked by the side.
“What do you mean?”
“I want to continue the journey, there are places I have to visit. However, if you wish to linger here .. Then I, will permit you. And we, will wait for you in that place until you come,” Haruki chimed in on Izumi's words.
“Which I asked ... What do you mean, Haruki nii-san?” Izumi again to him.
“You, look happy to meet them. Therefore, I do not want to force you. But I, can not delay to go there for too long,” Haruki said turning back to him.
“Just tell me, what's in that place you want to visit?”
“Alvaro, do you still remember it?” Haruki let go of his embrace on my shoulder, “Danur, brought news from Adinata for me yesterday,” Haruki continued by raising his head looking straight ahead.
“Then? What news is it?”
Haruki turned his head towards us, “he asked us to visit his Kingdom, there is something he would love to give as a thank you,” Haruki told us.
“Thank you?” Haruki nodded his head when I said it, “one of the inhabitants accidentally found a chunk of ice containing an animal in it, when the resident was fishing in a river in winter."
“Do you want to say, if we are going there only to meet an animal that is likely to freeze to death in the river?”
“Bongkahan ice contains the animal,” continued Haruki who stopped for a moment, “never melted, when hit could not be destroyed.”
“Like the wooden box that protects Uki,” timpal Haruki by glancing at me.
Haruki continued his footsteps, “that's why. Before the Emperor knows this news, we must first go there.”
“Of course, we need Kou to destroy that magic,” Haruki continued by turning to me who was walking behind him.
“Then I will go with you.”
“Do you guys want to have fun without me?” Izumi continued, she walked past me with her hands crossed on her chest.
“So you want to come?”
“Of course. The more new animals I meet, the more I wonder what animals we will meet next. I don't want to be one of the people left between the two of you,” Izumi replied to Haruki's question.
“Alright, now .. We just need to find Eneas. In your opinion, in which direction he is,” Haruki turned around by addressing the two of us in turn.
“Sachi,” Izumi chimed in on Haruki's words.
I walked forward with a sigh, “the only way, if true they put us in four different places. We have to go West,” I said returning their gazes.
Haruki bent his body by raising one hand to the side, “Izumi, please lead the way. Please, protect the three of us with the spear you brought,” Haruki said smiling as he returned to his feet.
“Tell me, you want to make me a shield for you,” said Izumi walking back to us all.
Our feet continued to step down the grassy ground that lay all around. Honestly, this place is really amazing. How not? In one small area like this, we can get a place with a different view between one place and another. I will curse the Emperor, if he destroys this good place.
“What did you do to me?!” The screams of a man stopped our steps.
Haruki and Izumi turned around by glancing at each other, they bowed and then lay face down, crawling around with a sneak closer to the cry of the man who never stopped sounding, “no, no, it was the man who was asked to train Eneas,” I whispered, when I too had crawled in the midst of them.
I glanced at the grass that hid our bodies, the grasses occasionally swaying as the wind blew on them. “What did Eneas do to her?” Haruki moved along with Izumi who had also been standing on my right and left.
I stood up and followed them. “Eneas!” Haruki's voice made Eneas slightly aghast before she turned to look at us.
“Please me! Otherwise, I will tell you what you guys did to Grandpa!” The man lying face down on the muddy ground looked at us with his face also full of mud.
“Eneas, what happened?” Tukas Haruki glanced at him.
“I am now Prince Sora, so every thing I do .. will affect Sora in the future. Those are the words you used to say to me, aren't they, Haru nii-san?”
Haruki walked over and sat down next to her, “then, what did you do to her?” Haruki asked back by taking a look at the man.
“He asked me to roll around in the mud all day. So, I poisoned his body so that he could not move until tomorrow morning, then I rolled his body in the mud as he told me.”
