Fake Princess
Cdxlii Chapter
I walk in the footsteps of those who walk before me. I glanced to the left, towards a woman who was seen hiding watching us from a distance before my two feet walked into the tent. “You remember to do what after this, don't you?” Tukas Haruki, I glanced at him who had laid his body on a wide piece of cloth.
“Are you sure this will work?” Izumi walked up to him by grabbing a fold of cloth near Haruki.
Haruki is lying down with his arms up as his pillow, “probably, will fail,” Haruki said moving sideways back to us.
I stepped closer and sat down near them, “it seems I understand what you mean, nii-chan,” I said as I straightened my legs, join me in massaging my feet that have been convulsed.
“As expected of our sister,” timpal Haruki who has turned her body back towards us.
Izumi put the folds of cloth she took over her head, “I don't really understand what you mean,” she said bowed by rubbing the folds of cloth earlier in her wet hair.
“I have to wait for Lux to be sure,” I said while wiping my sweat-filled forehead.
I turned towards Haruki, “nii-chan,” my words until he rolled his eyes at me.
“What are you, spreading your charms to one of the women here?” I asked again who was answered by his frowning forehead looking at me.
“I don't understand what you mean,” he said with a glance towards Izumi, “maybe it's Izumi,” he continued with a glaring gaze from Izumi.
“Duke will complain to Dad if he finds out I'm flirting with women when my fiance is here. Dad will skin me alive, if he knows I'm playing with women,” Izumi said, he wiggled his head until his hair moved slightly before he combed it using his own palm.
“After all, what do you mean, Sachi,” he said again by putting the cloth he used to rub his head to his side.
“I saw-”
My words came to a halt as the curtain of the tent opened, Aeneas walked in with a large wicker basket filled with fruit in his hand. “Luckily you brought Eneas fruit, my stomach is already hungry once,” Izumi said as Aeneas sat before us.
“There was a woman who gave it to me, I just accepted it because I did not understand what she said,” said Aeneas put the basket full of fruit in front of us.
“Letter,” I turned to Izumi who returned to voice, “heh, I did not expect, if this younger brother of ours, will get an admirer as soon as that, “ Izumi said again, he handed over the piece of leather he had previously read to Haruki.
I glanced at Haruki who had gone to sit on the leather sheet in his hand, “what a fool you are, Izumi,” said Haruki put the paper made of leather earlier on the pile of fruit in the basket.
I grabbed the paper, I looked at the picture of a man and woman holding hands, painted on the paper. “What do you mean?” Tukas Izumi who made my eyes turn to him.
“Eneas will grow handsome after a few more years. Can't you see it?”
“Izu nii-chan, indeed will not understand things like this,” said I chimed in Haruki's words.
“Can't you see it, nii-chan? His nose was sharp, his eyes were big and his eyeballs were pitch black. Her lips were full, especially the edgy one that looked so sweet when she smiled. I bet, Aeneas will be the wrestler of the women when he grows up,” I said with a glance towards Eneas who grabbed the leather paper in my hand.
“I do not understand, what you are discussing,” said Aeneas, he again put the leather paper in his hand to the side of the basket in front of us.
“You will be the first to cry if I get married and leave home, nii-chan. So, love your sister, before a man comes to take me away,” I said I moved by grabbing the Apple in the basket.
I walked over to the bed, “Lux, apparently you're here. I was waiting for you from tad-” I said stalled, I was crouching near the wooden bed followed by my index finger moving to touch it.
Lux's body was slightly jolted as my finger touched her head, “Sachi,” she said turning her head with her blink repeatedly, “you have arrived?” Lux continued, she sat up with her eyes rubbed.
“Are you unaware of our arrival?” I stood up and sat on the bed staring at him.
“I'm too tired to bring the bottle home. After all, the cold weather makes it difficult to resist sleepiness,” he said by covering his mouth that evaporates widely using the palm of his hand.
“What is Lux?” Lux flew away as Haruki's voice sounded.
“Have you done what I told you?” Haruki told him again.
“I have done it,” said Lux, still I gaze at his shadow that has landed on the pile of fruit.
“Where do they put our bags?” Haruki's whisper slightly bent his body towards Lux.
“I only know the location of Sachi's bag and also Eneas. It's because they both keep herbs and poison in their bags, because it's .. I can easily find it, whereas for your bag or Izumi, I can't find it, either,” says Lux sounded.
“As I thought,” timpal Haruki, he again raised his body sitting firmly.
“It seems like they are already vigilant if we can run away at any time,” my exchange chimed in on Haruki's words, I put the apple I held to the side.
“If that's what you're worried about, we just have to find our bags before leaving,” Haruki shook his head when Izumi finished speaking.
“Too risky, nii-chan,” I went back and walked up to them.
“Walau Eneas said if the poison can only last a day, it does not rule out the possibility if he recovers faster than expected.”
“Again, if we are asked to return to practice, our time will be in vain,” I nodded my head as Haruki chimed in my words.
“And also, I bet if they'll be more closely watching us after what happens. One way is just, we have to escape from here tonight too,” I whispered as I have returned to sit near them.
“So, have you kept that plan in your head, my sister?” Haruki smiled with a raised look at me.
“According to the teaching of you, my brothers. If you want to get dirty, then get dirty completely.”
“Because of that, I want us all to do this for later tonight,” I slightly moved forward with half a whisper towards them.
