Fake Princess
Div Chapter
Our horses walked in tandem with Izumi's horse walking in front of us while Haruki's horse was walking on the side. “What do we want to buy? Is there anything you want to eat?” izumi asked followed by her head trying to look back.
“Do you want to eat?” Haruki chimed in on the words Izumi said.
I turned towards him followed by my eyeballs which glanced slightly upwards, “I am hungry once now. So I want to eat something filling,” I said by looking back at Haruki.
“Alright, we look for something very, very filling when eating it,” timpal Izumi, he remains riding his horse without looking back even a little.
My horse kept going, splitting the crowd of citizens that filled the market. Among them there are those who wear ordinary clothes like those worn by many people outside the Kingdom, while some others are wearing Yukata without a pattern. I glanced at Haruki who raised his index finger close to his lips with a look in his eyes that led to one of the men who looked like they knew us.
The man covered his mouth with his two eyes glancing to the right and to the left alternately before he bowed his body. “Did nii-chan know her?” I asked him to turn to look at me.
Haruki shook his head slowly, “I don't know him. It is likely that he has seen us in the Royal Capital,” Haruki said by returning his gaze to the front.
We continued walking and continued walking down the street until Izumi stopped her horse's steps, “what's up, Izumi?” asked Haruki who had also stopped her steps beside me.
Izumi turned back, “it looks like they have found the place we are going to live,” Izumi said before she returned her gaze to the front.
I slightly tilted my body to the side, my eyes falling onto Tsutomu who was riding his horse quickly towards us. “Yang-” said Tsutomu stalled, he pulled the reins until the horse he was riding stopped quickly in front of us.
“We have found a home for Yang .. We live,” continued Tsutomu who had previously stopped for a moment.
“Take us there, Tsutomu!” Izumi's orders were immediately answered by a slow nod from Tsutomu.
Tsutomu directed his horse to turn his back to us before he carried the horse forward leaving. I moved my horse when Izumi who was in front had already brought his horse path. Every now and then I glanced, at some people who looked strangely staring at us, even some women who were standing beside the road also stared at us constantly.
My horse again stopped in front of Tsubaru who had been waiting in front of a wooden house without a fence not too far from the market. I move down from the horse while giving my horse's harness over Tsubaru's palm that leads to me. “How about Ryu? Is she okay?” I asked Tsubaru who had held the reins of my horse in her hand.
“He's fine, Princess. He is with Eneas and Lux inside,” Tsubaru said with a small nod.
“Does anyone want Princess dinner this evening?”
“I'd love Ikayaki, I accidentally saw a merchant sell it ... Can I get it?” I looked back at Tsubaru.
Tsubaru nodded his head. “Thank you,” I said, I smiled at him before I walked away.
I walked into the house, my footsteps halted and sat down on one of the chairs surrounding a small table full of food. “Do you want me to help you, Lux?” I asked by looking at him who was lifting a small piece of Apple from the plate in front of him.
“No need. I had intended to spend it because my own stomach was very hungry,” said Lux who held the piece of apple with both hands before she brought her face closer to the apple.
“She just finished her shower, then suddenly fell asleep without eating anything. While at the Palace, we tried to make a powerful new poison, he has not slept well since then,” Lux said, I turned back to him who was still greedy chewing the apple.
“They have prepared a snack?”
I looked back, when Izumi's voice was heard followed by footsteps walking closer. Izumi walked past the chair I was sitting in and sat down in the chair beside Eneas, “Eneas!” call Izumi by patting her arm.
“Sleep in your room. Your neck will hurt if you sleep like that,” Izumi said again as both eyes of Eneas slowly opened.
“Moving to your room, Eneas! Don't sleep in a chair,” timpal Haruki who walked past us all.
“Tatsuya! Prepare warm water for me to take a shower! Lux, did Tatsuya say where my room is?” haruki said, he stopped his steps and turned his head towards us.
“Brank two, room two of the stairs,” said Lux by going back to devour the apple in her hand.
Haruki returned to walking when Lux had finished saying so. “Look, when he was twenty-three, but he was still very spoiled for Tatsuya.”
“Are you not the same as Izumi? Tsutomu, the water is too hot for me! Even your voice was clear as Aeneas and I walked in front of your room,” Lux sneer chimed in Izumi's words.
“I'm currently very hungry, Lux. Although you will not make me full, but at least .. Something moves into my esophagus, it is more than enough for me.”
“Then just swallow your own saliva, it's the same, right?” turn to Lux again.
“She has been like that since morning. I even had the intention of drowning him in poison,” said Aeneas, I stared at him who confirmed his sitting position before grabbing a few grains of wine on the table.
“What happened to you, Lux?” I opened the words, I still stared at Lux who had stopped chewing before she brought the apple in her hand back to her face.
“Lux, don't pretend not to hear what I said,” I said once again, Lux was silent for a moment before she put the piece of apple before her.
“Actually, who is he? I mean, Ryu ... I,” Lux's hatchback stopped, she's still bowed silently yet to make any sound again.
“Lux?”
“I felt magic from Robur Spei from him. It's a little, but as Peri .. I can feel it,” Lux continued by raising her face to look at me, “Sachi, are you-”
Lux was again bowed, her words stopped when the sound of footsteps could be heard. “Kakak, you guys are back?” I raised my face, turned towards Ryuzaki who had appeared from behind the stairs, stepping his feet towards us.
