Fake Princess
Cdlxxv Chapter
“See, you can't answer it, can you?”
“You're a King, what if someone sees us? Let go of me!” I opened it by glancing at him.
I walked backwards as he let go of his embrace, my two legs stepping back past him. I kept walking away without even looking back, the smell of cooking when I passed the settlement that touched my stomach was not too I ignored anymore.
I stopped my footsteps as the two Knights on guard bowed their bodies towards me. Both of my feet again stepped through the gates of the Palace, “Sa-” Julissa's words came to a halt, she clenched her mouth back as I glanced at her.
“Where have you been?” asked Izumi who was standing not too far from where Julissa was standing.
“Then, where have you guys been?” I asked back as I glanced at him, Haruki and Eneas alternated.
I threw away a glance, “I am not obligated to answer your questions. Because of you guys too, doing the same to me, right?” I walk past them.
My footsteps stopped in the party room I had been to before, I opened the door in front of me and walked into it. “Can you wait for me outside, Lux?” I whispered while stopping my steps back.
“But Sa-”
“Please,” my tukas who cut his words quickly.
“I understand,” he continued speaking softly in my ear.
I turned around, then closed the door again when I felt something touch my hair. I stepped forward leaning against the door I had previously closed, the room around was pitch black, only the white shadows of the blankets covering the objects in the room I could see.
I slightly walked to the edge, then sat with my back still attached directly to the wall, “I haven't even eaten anything from morning,” I whispered slowly while moving to lay my body to the side.
I stared blankly at the dark state that enveloped around, “did I say it too harshly? Whatever, I am disappointed and that is all I feel now,” my whisper is weak while closing my eyes.

I opened my eyes slowly, I thrust my palm through the soft hairs that touched my hand earlier. I tried to sit down and lowered my head followed by my hands rubbing my eyes, “why am I in Zeki's room? Didn't I sleep in the party room?” I murmured as my two eyes, I threw them around.
I rubbed my face before moving slightly to the side of the bed, I stood up followed by my two feet that moved to grab the sandals and wear them. I turned to the door and opened it, I closed the door again as I walked out, my head bowed followed by my index finger that was unceasingly rubbing my eyes as I walked down the hallway of the palace.
“Princess!”
My footsteps stopped, I turned to look at the man standing behind me. “Morning breakfast is ready, everything is waiting, Princess,” said the man with his eyes down.
“I'll be there when they're all done,” my words turned back to him.
“Your Majesty, will execute the servant, if the servant can not invite the Princess to go there,” the speech heard from behind me again made my step stop.
Our footsteps halted in a room with two-leafed doors open, I walked past the waiter as he bent his body beside me. “Again, are you awake?” izumi said as she turned her head towards me from the chair she was sitting on.
I glanced and threw my eyes back at them, my legs approaching the chair beside Julissa, pulled the chair and sat on it. “Sachi, have you tasted it? This food-”
Julissa's words came to a halt as I stood up to reach for the orange fruit in the basket. I sat back down without saying a word as my eyes fell on my fingers peeling off the orange. I ate the orange just now when he had me peeled until the grains in it sticking out.
“I don't even have any more taste for eating,” I glanced towards Izumi who threw the spoon in her grasp onto the table.
“Actually what do you want?!”
“Izumi!” Haruki raised her voice as Izumi snapped at me followed by the glint of her eyes that pointed sharply at me.
I sighed while putting back the orange that was still a lot on the plate, “I don't want anything. Thanks for the food,” I said stand up and walk back out of the room.
I walked through the palace garden, looking at the colorful flowers that grew along the path in the park. I stopped my footsteps in a tree and sat back to him. “Sa-chan,” I slightly raised my head as a voice followed by a black shadow had stood before me.
“What's up?” I lowered my eyes to avoid it.
I glanced into the corner of my eyes as Haruki sat down leaning against the tree, “Julissa almost cried yesterday because you suddenly did not come home, she assumed that you disappeared because of her mistake,” he said that back sound.
“Sorry,” he said back briefly to me.
“Your words yesterday, made me realize .. You, must be disappointed, right?” continued Haruki, I still threw my gaze away from him as I was bitten by the strong of my slightly trembling lips.
“We visited Vicount yesterday, his body suddenly unable to move, his lips always tilted to the side so he could not speak. With his condition like that, inevitably he had to hand over his authority as a Viscount to his closest son or brother.”
“Viscount does not have a wife, her child is still very small. Thus, his temporary office was given to his nephew, the son of his younger brother before his own son grew up. Their families, will be directly under the supervision of Zeki who is represented directly to Kabhir. I, deliberately not invite you, because you still can not forget the incident yesterday.”
“I, as a sister .. Don't want to add burden for you. I told you before, didn't I? When you, have been able to control yourself a little, eliminate a little bit of your naive nature .. I, will tell you everything I know without you pinta.”
“If I say, I love you. Are you going to believe it?”
“What are you, still remembering, the words I said that?” continued Haruki back, I raised my face looking at him who had been smiling with lips clenched towards me.
“That, the last words your mother spoke before she left me alone in the room, the next day I got word of her death.”
“And that too, became the last words .. As I, lost the curse that enveloped my body. If only that time I said no, is it possible that he is still alive and I am still shrouded in curses?”
“I don't know. But I, really, really want to know everything. Therefore, Sa-chan, help your brother let go of the guilt I've been feeling all along. Please,” again while leaning his face on my shoulder.
