Fake Princess
CdlXXXIV Chapter
I opened the room door when a knock came from outside, “Julissa?” I said as I looked at him who was standing at the door of the room.
“Kak Haruki, asked me to pick you up.”
I glanced slightly to the right before scratching the end of the left eyebrow, “I understand,” I said walking out the room past him.
Me and Julissa walked side by side, we both .. Neither made any sound, only our footsteps could be heard along the hallway, “what are you, alright?”
I turned to Julissa, I looked at her face for a long time before I smiled, “I'm fine. Maybe my brother was right, it's just because I'm exhausted,” I said by returning to throw my eyes forward.
I tightly clenched both my hands followed by a sigh coming out. What's the matter, actually? Is my dad really okay? Dear God, please remove this unpleasant feeling.
I exhaled as my legs drew closer to the dining room, slowly . I and Julissa entered the room whose doors were wide open. I cast a glance towards those who had been sitting on some of the chairs that were inside the room, akash and Kabhir are standing next to Zeki while Amithi and Chandini are standing near one of the empty seats, possibly the one Julissa occupied before.
I stepped closer to the chair beside Izumi, I occupied the chair earlier as Izumi pulled the chair so it moved slightly back from the dining table. “Are you okay?” tanyanya turned her head towards me as I grabbed a handkerchief that was on the table.
“I'm fine, nii-chan,” I replied smilingly looking at her before I threw my eyes back on the table.
“Please enjoy the meal!”
I glanced at Zeki who said it, I immediately grabbed the glass filled with water and drank it while he was still glancing at me, as if wanting to completely ascertain my circumstances. “I want the meat, can you get the meat for me, nii-chan?” I looked back at Izumi.
I grabbed the two thin loaves of bread I put on the plate, I grabbed them and I threw the thin pieces of grilled meat on the bread sheet, I took some green vegetables over the scattering of the pieces of meat before I wrapped them all in thin bread sheets.
“How are you doing?”
I bit and chewed on the thin bread that wrapped the piece of meat before I turned my eyes toward Haruki who spoke, “I'm fine, Haru-nii,” I said by wiping the bottom of my lips using the tip of my thumb.
“If you want, we can go home first to Sora,” he continued back with a slightly anxious look etched on his face.
“No need,” I said by putting the food I held earlier back on the plate, “maybe what you said is true. Maybe also because I have had a lot of bad events lately, which makes me like this,” I said back to him.
“Again, we have to go to Ardenis, right?”
“You, always think if only and if only .. Try to only see the problems that are in front of you, you always think about problems that are not necessarily happening. That's why, if anything happens, we always hide whatever you can.”
“What are your words not too harsh for him, Zeki?!”
I raised my right hand firmly grasping the arm of the clothes Izumi was wearing. “You guys who are always with him, probably won't worry about him too much. As for me, I had to deceive myself, trying to convince myself that he would be fine no matter where you went. I said it, just for his own good,” said Zeki who again pierced my ear.
I took a breath and exhaled it back very strongly. Kulirik Haruki, Julissa and the man named Kemal who was sitting in front of me looked at me, “I understand. Thank you, for always worrying about me,” I said as I grabbed back the glass filled with water and drank it.
I put the glass I held onto the table when Haruki was still glued to me for a long time, “I understand. We will leave tomorrow morning, rest after dinner this evening,” said I quickly reply using a nod of the head.
“Besok morning?”
“We have settled all our affairs here, again .. My biggest reason for coming here, just wanting to make sure the state of Viscount Okan who had suddenly disappeared, did not give me any news. After knowing, what really happened to him .. Our business has been completed,” Haruki continued chiming in Zeki's words.
“I understand,” chimpanzee Zeki slowly sounded.
___________.
I sat on the bed, I lowered my head with both palms covering my face, “I can't sleep,” my grumbling by throwing my body back on the bed.
“My Lord.”
I immediately moved as Kou's voice flashed, I quickly moved my body down from the bed. My two feet ran small near the door and opened it when footsteps rang out. I was stunned, my body was fixated when I opened the door to my room, “what is this?” I asked when my eyes were thrown around.
The hallway that was in front of my room, disappeared .. Replaced by a forest with a vast meadow. My hand cooled down even more, as the doorknob of the room I had previously held disappeared. “What is this another dimension? Like me, found Kou first?” my whisper trembled with a shaky stand as my eyes poured around.
The room I was in, disappeared. Everything was replaced with a forest full of flowering shrubs and surrounding trees. “Kou, do you hear me?” I slowly revealed with a trembling voice coming out.
“Kou?” I again tried to call him, but Kou.
“That little dragon, not yet able to penetrate the magic I created.”
I was fixated as the voice of a woman using Latin rang out in my ear. I catch my breath first before I turn towards the source of the sound. I gulped down my own saliva, as a shadow walked over from behind the trees.
“Who are you?” ask me while walking backwards as he steps forward closer and closer.
“My name, Zea. I am the one, who has been the guardian of your mother,” he said who walked closer, “do you remember, the flowers belong to your mother?” back to me again.
“What do you mean?”
“Your deer, have been born,” he said with a glance back.
I also set my eyes on the direction he was heading, “if he does not do a soul contract to you immediately, he will die... Because deer like us, are only born when you grow up, he will die,” he said, my eyes widened slightly as the little deer standing by the trees walked up to us.
“I don't understand what you're saying.”
The golden-haired great deer with golden horns overgrown with flowers rested its feet before me. I slightly retreated backwards as she placed her head near my feet, “your mother, do you .. Don't want to help her?” he said it again, still putting his head on the ground.
