Fake Princess
Cdxliii Chapter
My footsteps stopped in front of the curtain of the tent, “OK, my brothers. I count on you guys, don't let me down,” I said smilingly staring at them in turns before continuing back on the steps.
I opened the curtains and walked out of the tent, my legs moving closer to the tent that Duke Masashi was in. “What Duke, is inside?” I asked the two Knights who stood guard outside the tent.
The two of them exchanged lyrics, “Duke, are going to meet the Village Chief, right now, Princess,” replied one of them.
“Really?”
“Alright, thanks for the information,” I said again with a nod of my head before turning around and stepping away.
My footsteps moved closer to the village, “Duke!” My screams called out to him who was talking to several villagers including the Grandfather.
Duke Masashi turned around, his body bowed towards me who was walking towards him, “Duke, I need your help,” I said, Duke slightly frowned looking at me as I said it.
I stopped the steps before them, “salam, Grandpa,” I said by bowing my body towards him.
My body is back on its feet, “Duke, Uncle, help me. Please,” I said back to Duke Masashi.
Masashi let out a long sigh, “what happened to something, Princess?” He asked back with my eyes back.
“I,” I said as I glanced at the residents, I moved closer to Masashi, “ini, about my personal life. I didn't even dare to tell it to my Brother or Father. Wherever possible, I tell it here,” whispered me by putting one hand touching the tip of the lip.
Old Masashi looked at me, “well,” he said as I walked back from him.
He turned his head towards the few villagers, Duke said words I did not understand to them before he continued his footsteps past me, “Princess,” he said briefly by still passing.
I turned around following the footsteps behind him, “Duke,” I said, he stopped his footsteps and turned to look at me.
“I don't want to talk inside the tent. Inside the tent makes me sultry, I need a lot of air to recover power, especially for cold air like this,” my connection with smilingly staring at him.
Duke turned behind me, “well,” he said as he re-stretched his feet.
I smiled before chasing her, “Duke,” I said as I stopped the footsteps beside her.
“I still do not understand, will the political system of the Kingdom. I feel so left behind compared to Haruki,” I said as she turned towards me.
“Prince Haruki,” he said by looking straight ahead again, “dia from the beginning was a Crown Prince. He has been appointed King candidate for Sora since he was born, so it is very natural .. If he, get a lot of knowledge early on.”
“Do you feel insecure, Princess? Or, do you want to compete with your brother?”
“To be honest, I was surprised at Kudou,” he said, I turned to him when he too had turned to look at me. “How all his children, can be awesome .. It can even, make the Emperor feel threatened,” he continued with a smile looking at me.
“Emperor?”
“The world is vast, Princess. When you find a dead end, it may not be a pure dead end if you intend to break the barrier that you think is a dead end. Dizzying, right?”
“What I want to mean is just, not everything in sight is the truth. Life on its own, more complicated than a human can imagine,” Masashi continued back beside me.
“Duke, do you think ... What should I do to support them?”
Masashi stopped his footsteps, “you've done, more than what you should have done, Princess. Want to practice bare hands with me like when you were a kid?” He asked by taking a few steps back.
“What if my two brothers see it?”
Masashi stared around, “no one can see you here. Therefore, Princess .. Don't hold back your abilities, show me your true abilities. Me, allowing you to do it,” he said with a waistline looking at me.
As I stared at him, I put my hands together in front of my chest. I lifted my hand until I touched my forehead before I bowed before him, “ according to your orders, Master,” I said back up to stand looking at him.
I took a deep breath and exhaled back, I looked at the Duke who had drawn the sword at his waist. “Are you ready, Princess?” He asked by pointing the sword at me.
Although Dad used to only ask Duke to teach me the science of war, but actually .. Secretly, Duke also taught me martial arts. However, he only asked me to do so when I was in a desperate position.
I moved quickly to the side as Duke Masashi floated the sword in his hand that almost split half my body. I quickly turned around followed by my raised right leg crashing towards him, “lumayan, your ability increased rapidly, Princess,” he said who deflected my kick earlier with his right arm.
I raised both of my hands firmly gripping the Duke's wrist as he swung his sword which if I let my guard down just a little, then my neck would instantly float. As hard as I could hold back her hand earlier, I lowered my head and moved quickly to stand to her right. Quickly, I let go of one of my hands that was gripping his wrist earlier, then I smashed his palm that was holding the sword with my hand earlier until the sword came off and fell to the ground.
My movement stopped when Duke's left hand gripped my neck, “your movement is still slow, Princess,” he said releasing his hand earlier on my neck.
I bowed by holding my neck earlier, “that's because, you guys are not human,” said I raised my eyes to look at him.
“The self-defense I taught you, called Krav Maga, I learned it from an elder of a place I visited. I taught him first to you, Princess .. Because I hope, you can survive any attack, moreover your quick thinking ability, will greatly help you defeat the enemy if you apply it.”
“Unfortunately, you used to be easily anxious when faced with an urgent situation. Luckily, I don't see him anymore now, if I see him .. I'll take you straight back to Sora, then ask Kudou not to ask you out of the Kingdom, he walked over and bowed his body grabbing his sword that was lying on the ground.
“You know, Uncle,” I said when he got back to his feet, “I can survive until now, all thanks to you. The self-defense that Dad, Uncle, Tsubaru, my two brothers taught me, really helped me survive some of the attacking enemies,” my connection while looking my head up.
“But if I were only in the Palace, my abilities would not have progressed as they are now. Against the enemy head-on, it was indeed the best practice .. Although, several times I almost died from their arrows, swords or knives. But that, it's fun .. I want to wander, no matter how far it is. I want to learn, something that I can not learn if I just lock myself in the Palace,” I said smilingly looking at him.
