Fake Princess
Cdlxv Chapter
“Nee-chan!”
I turned around, looking at Eneas who had been standing behind me, “follow me, nee-chan!” turn around again and then step away.
I turned towards Haruki, he nodded his head returning my gaze to him. I sighed before turning around then walking in the footsteps of Eneas who had walked away. “Eneas,” I said trying to call him.
Eneas turned her head while continuing her steps, “what is it, nee-chan?” she asked, she slowed her pace until I walked next to her.
“Sorry, for yesterday,” I said while keeping my eyes set forward.
“Sorry? Wh-wh-what for? For nee-chan who suddenly asked us to go home without you? Or, for nee-chan who did all this?”
I turned to him, “for everything,”I answered briefly before throwing my eyes back from him.
“I admire the kindness of my three Sisters. So, where is possible .. I am angry just because of that problem. Anyway, I understand very well how my brother,” he said back sounding, “nee-chan, turn here,” continued Eneas again, I turned to her who pointed the index finger towards the left.
My footsteps followed him again, I was stunned when my eyes fell on a crowd of people sitting dumbstruck at the foot of a hill. They glanced at me as I walked closer and closer to them, I turned my gaze towards Grandfather and his granddaughter who instantly lowered their gaze as our eyes met each other.
“Nee-chan! Come here!”
I glanced at Eneas who waved her hand at me. I turned around and walked over to him with a glance towards some of the women who were sitting lined up with their eyes that could not be separated looking at me.
“Disregard them,” he said, Eneas gave me an apple as I stopped a nearby footstep.
“I do it so that they escape the entanglements of those who torment them, but .. Their faces, neither seem relieved nor happy in the slightest,” I said, I bit my lips hard as I grabbed the apple in his hand.
“How can we continue living? How can we eat? How and how.”
I glanced into the corner of my eyes as Lux's voice sounded, “what do you mean, Lux?” I whispered as I rubbed the apple in my hand onto the clothes I was wearing.
“I just repeated the words they said this morning,” timpal Lux again whispered softly in my ear.
“If they are tortured, they are still given a piece of food to live on. So when the calamity came, all they noticed was how to eat the next day rather than being grateful for despite the torture traps they had endured. That is, what I can catch from them,” continued Lux again when I turned my body to see a crowd of people who were still swept away staring at their residence that had been flattened with the ground.
“Man, it is difficult to be grateful.”
“Do you forget, if we are human too, Lux,” I whispered back to him.
I looked to the side as a slightly noisy voice rubbed my ears. “Sachi,” said Alma, she stopped her steps immediately as her eyes fell on me.
“Good job,” I said as I turned to one of the bodyguards standing behind Alma.
I walked over to Alma who was standing down, trying to take her eyes off me, “what are you, alright, Alma?”
“A-I, alright,” he replied with a little stammering to me.
“Don't do that, act like normal. Do you want, all that attention to me?” my question while glancing towards the line of citizens who set their eyes on us.
“I'm sorry,” she said briefly, she bit her lip before her face lifted back up looking at me.
“Sorry, if I scare you. But can you keep this secret all right?”
Alma turned to look at the troops marching behind him, “wait let alone you guys! Quickly help the other Knights to find items that can be saved!”
“You guys, will also go from here?”
Alma turned her head towards me as I stopped the steps beside her, “Haruki ordered us to leave this place, as soon as possible,” she replied as she again threw her gaze forward, throwing her gaze back, towards his troops who had walked away.
“Kakku?”
He nodded his head answering my question, “ini for our safety. Haruki said, if the news of the destruction of this Kingdom will be immediately heard by the neighboring Kingdom around. And of course, we can already imagine what happened,” he said again, turning his head and smiling at me.
“Neighboring kingdoms who want to expand the region, will directly target this place. It could be said, if this place would be a war zone for those who are trying to fight over it. I'm right, aren't I?”
“You guys, it's an amazing brother. Actually, what are you made of so it is very good to read any situation,” said Alma chimed in my words.
“Then, how about them?” I asked back by looking at them.
“We may, will just escort them to the nearest border. We, it is impossible to take them, and also .. It is likely that our ship that is on the border was destroyed. So it was impossible for us to bring them. Sorry, I turned it down before you asked for it, Sachi,” he said while scratching his own forehead.
“Have you done what I told you?”
I turned around, turning towards Izumi's audible voice, “I was eating it,” I replied by lifting the apple that was in my hand towards her.
“Alma, have you prepared everything?”
My gaze turned to Haruki who was walking and stopped his footsteps in front of Alma, “my troops have found some jewelry that was washed away. We, will use it as a provision to return to the Kingdom as you say,” Alma told Haruki.
“Can you do this for us? Do you still keep the money? If yes, I want you to split the money evenly with them,” Haruki said as he glanced at some residents, “ I want, '' Haruki said, at least they have provisions to continue life even if you later leave them at the border,” Haruki continued back to him.
“I can't guarantee it. We also need money to buy a new ship when we get to the nearest settlement, it all depends on how much treasure we can find,” he said Haruki.
“But I will do my best to help them,” Alma said again heard.
“I understand. If you really need help, I will send a letter to Yadgar or Leta to send help to you,” Haruki said again to him.
“Zeki and Julissa. I've been a long time, not meeting them. Alright, I will tell you when my vice-captain returns,” said Alma while staring at us alternately, “I haven't had time to ask him, what are you guys doing here?”
“We plan to visit Kingdom of Ardenis.”
“Ardenis?” Alma frowned as Haruki said so.
“What's up? Did something happen there?” Alma turned her head towards Izumi, “don't tell me if you guys want to meet Alvaro there?” Izumi nodded her head answering her question.
“Adinata got a letter from Alvaro, so we want to make sure,” Haruki again chimed in the conversation of the two of them.
“Are you guys sure?”
“What do you mean, Alma?”
Alma turned and turned to look at me, “Alvaro, who died two years ago. So impossible, if he sends a letter to Adinata or whoever it is,” replied Alma looking at me with her slightly pale face in sight.
