Fake Princess
Cdlxiii Chapter
I tightly hugged Kou's neck as the wind grew stronger, turning my gaze toward the Moon that still shone brightly in the sky. The more I leaned against his neck, the more silence.
“Are you tired, My Lord?” kou's whisper touched my mind.
I blinked a few times, “you're right, I'm tired,” I whispered back to him.
“Close grip, I will find you a place to rest,” he said which again flashed in the mind.
______________
The chirping of birds unceasingly knocked on his ears, slowly .. I opened my two slightly glare eyes as a beam of light fell on him. I sat down, looking at Kou who closed his eyes beside me. I rubbed his face with an occasional glance towards the several trees around which had collapsed onto the ground.
I sat back leaning on Kou's body, and I moved my palm through the ice sheet that froze the ground near us. “You're up?” I turned my head back towards him when Kou had raised his face again.
“How are you doing, My Lord?” tanyanya, Kou moved his head up my thighs.
I raised my palm rubbing his head, “I'm fine. Close to you, making my body not feel too tired,” I replied as I set my gaze towards the trees around.
“Kou, take me back there,” my words back glanced at him.
Kou wrapped his tail around my waist as he stood up and raised and lowered me back on his back, “ according to your orders, My Lord,”, I hugged her neck tightly as Kou walked slightly forward while spreading out both wings.
The strong flaps of his wings flew us both, turning my gaze to a small island in the middle of the ocean. I glanced back at Kou, “you took me to the uninhabited Island?” ask him.
“I have to take care of you, My Lord. I have to make sure you're safe from anything" he replied, accelerating his flight.
Kou flew me a quick turn to the right, I glanced down ... To the land filled with the rubble of buildings and also poor trees everywhere.
Kou flew low and set foot on the sand of the beach, and I quickly descended from his back as Kou bent his legs until his body sat there.
I walked closer and then I rubbed his head that turned towards me, "I'll walk alone from here, so ... Take care of me from above" I said, rubbing his head.
"I see, My Lord," said Kou who stood up again as I retreated backwards.
My head looked up, looking at Kou who had flown above me. I turned back, my breath out as both of my eyes were thrown around.
I tightly closed my nose using my palms as the rancid smell suddenly burst in. Slowly, both of my legs stepped forward, splitting the rubble that was scattered in an uncertain direction.
My footsteps came to a halt, as two male corpses, clad in black mud, lay face down before me. I slightly moved to the side, continuing my steps by avoiding the two corpses earlier.
My footsteps moved faster and faster, sometimes I stepped over some corpses that were sprawled just to continue the steps. "I'm sorry. If only you still had human nature, I probably wouldn't have done it" I murmured slowly while still speeding up.
"Sachi!"
I raised my head, looking for a voice that was getting clearer and clearer to me. I crouched down with my face covered with my palms, several times a sigh of relief came out of my lips.
"You really surprised us!"
My head looked up as Lux's voice rang out again, "what about them?" I asked him with a trembling voice.
"Everything's fine. Gosh, I can hardly believe it, when the man delivered a message from you," Lux said, looking down slightly with her right hand massaging her forehead.
I stood up and walked as Lux flew to lead me in front. "You're really crazy, Sachi! One Kingdom was destroyed overnight because of you," Lux said, stopping and turning to fly closer.
"I did nothing, the Mermaids did it," I replied casually as he had sat on my shoulders.
I stepped back, passing two bodies piled up together, "did you guys do everything I asked for?" I asked as I glanced to the end of my eyes, trying to look at her.
"It was like a nightmare last night. From Afternoon, when the man brought you news ... Haruki, Izumi is arguing all-out with the vice-captain who is guarding the Prince."
"Of course, your two brothers defended you all out when the vice-captain said that you were crazy. Izumi even broke the vice-captain's teeth" Lux said, followed by a small laugh from him.
"When things heat up, Haruki pulls Izumi to stop serving them. Haruki threatened like this, I don't care about your lives. Whether you want to believe it or not is your decision. But Alma, did you forget who saved you in the woods first?' You must understand that, right? How Haruki threatened someone."
I nodded my head, "then, what happens next?" I asked again, my head was looking down at an arm lying in front of me.
I walked back and kicked the arm so hard that he disappeared somewhere. "Haruki threw the bag that Izumi was carrying, until all the jewelry we stored was scattered on the floor. He did so while saying, 'not only do you have treasures. Have you forgotten who we are? We are Princes and also Princesses of the Kingdom of Sora, a Kingdom that is even richer than yours.' I really liked it a lot, when Haruki said that to them," Lux continued, who sounded excited.
"The prince, the vice-captain and the two men who were with them fell silent. Their struggle ended, when the Prince himself denied the insinuations said by his vice-captain. He said, 'if Sachi had given such an order, we should have done it to survive.'"
"So, the Prince lied to his uncle, saying he wanted to wash his eyes, get some fresh air. So, we all came out of the Duke's house, bringing the entire army of Juste Kingdom."
"Haruki asked us to gather at the plateau before deciding to split up. We freed a great many slaves, then led them to follow us up the hill far behind the Palace."
"As we were all gathered in the middle of the forest, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded. I, once couldn't believe it when Izumi said, high waves flooded the entire Kingdom, before I felt for myself Kou's magic in the air, and the magic from the fish was pointing from the front."
"I really wouldn't have expected it if everything happened overnight" Lux said, again, sounding beside her ear.
