Fake Princess
DXXII Chapter
I turned around by waving at Haruki, Izumi and also Eneas alternately. They one by one stood up before moving their legs closer, “introduce, Grandpa. The three of them are our brothers,” I said back turning to look at Grandpa as the three of them had stood behind me.
“Sit!” tukas grandfather uses human language as he raises one hand.
“Haruki, Izumi and also Eneas, right?” said grandfather with a glance at his eyes.
How did he know that? I seem to have to be really careful in talking if there are trees around.
“I, leave my Princesses and grandchildren to you.”
“Don't joke, they're Mom and also our Sister. Why should we wait for you to be able to take care of them,” said Izumi who immediately cut off the words of grandfather.
“Your grandfather on this one, is indeed not good at words,” cut off the aunt who made my gaze turn to her, “all she wanted to say was, Your mother is an Elf. Elves have a very long age beyond any creature, why are Elves forbidden to establish relationships with other creatures? That thing, solely because everything would be painful for the Elves themselves. She will not age when her husband or even her child has aged, she will likely still be alive when her husband, child or even grandchild has died inedible. What will you do to get rid of her sadness later?”
Silence state, no one answered the question posed by aunt, “and also for Sachi and Ryu, we do not know... You guys are the same age as the Elves, or Humans. However, if you will meet your partner later, think about all the possibilities that aunt said. But it all, does not mean you are not entitled to a relationship as a family, your family has broken it all.”
“I so say something that bounces,” said aunty while bowed by hitting her own head using the palm of her hand.
“I understand what is meant. No need to worry, as the oldest child .. It is my duty to maintain comfort in the family. I, will take good care of them all.”
“Haruki, aunt has a gift for you. Actually, aunt has long been secretly watching you .. That is to say, aunt is looking after you as a substitute for your mother at that time,” said aunty while raising one hand until a large flower that is still buds growing beside her.
“Yang Ryu said about Robur Spei is true, but ... Mother did not tell you any other magic,” continued aunt by glancing at Ryuzaki.
“Robur Spei is said to be awesome because he keeps the life cycle of every creature. Sacrifice and opportunity are both things that give birth to life. Dad, can you?”
“That's your magic, you saved her, so it all depends on you,” Grandpa replied without even moving his head.
“Just like Ryuzaki, at that time Ardella did not know if she was pregnant with another child in her womb. So Mother, using her magic..Take and then move Ryuzaki into a flower petal so that Ardella who was weak and full of curses can survive with her child.”
“Then, what does this have to do with me?”
“I, inherited the magic when our mother died. Me, meeting the woman, before she took her life in the tunnel,” said aunt, I glanced at Haruki who enlarged both eyes to return the gaze of aunt.
“What do you mean?”
My body was stunned as the flower bud suddenly shone, and more left me speechless … When my gaze fell on a fetus with a slightly transparent skin that was soundly asleep inside the flower. “Please wait a little longer, he may be born beautiful like his mother, or may be born handsome like his father,” said aunt again followed by dimming the light that is on the flower.
“I know where Robur Spei is, because my magic is directly connected to him. Someone you consider the Emperor, may have planted it somewhere full of magic, because if that Robur Spei dies, then I won't be able to do this life magic.”
“A place full of magic? Is it possible that the forbidden forest in the Empire's territory?”
I glanced at Izumi who was slipping behind me. “If you are sure where the place is, I want you to be able to control yourself a bit. Because when the Robur Spei withers, the one who will lose his life first is Ryuzaki and also this child, because without the magic they will not be able to live in this world,” connect aunty while keeping an eye on us.
“Haruki, do you want to see it up close? If yes, come here! And be careful with the green roots that are slightly immersed, do not hurt the roots,” said the aunt returned by waving her hand towards Haruki who was sitting at the back side.
I glanced at Haruki as he moved then stepped up and sat down in front of aunt. The flower shines again, “what am I-” Haruki said stalled while directing her gaze to aunt.
“Sure, do it very slowly. Do not make the flowers sway,” he said, who was replied by a slow nod to Haruki's head.
Haruki raised his palm rubbing the surface of the flower, “you can see his hair that started to grow a little, right?” said aunty as she sat down beside Haruki.
“Blessed, how can his father cry in front of his own son,” continued aunt while rubbing the back of Haruki who lowered his head.
“What should I do to thank you? I, will do it,” Haruki timped disjointedly as she turned towards aunt.
“If I look young and very beautiful .. Call me aunt just like Sachi. You've fought my niece, it's a gift from your aunt for being a good sister,” said the aunt as she patted Haruki's cheek staring at her.
“You've seen enough, haven't you? Because I, I'll keep it back. Too long here, not good for the flowers that keep it.”
“Auntie, thank you,” Haruki said, auntie nodded her head before raising one of her hands until the flower returned to the ground.
“I, really do not understand what happened,” Izumi muttered that sounded from behind.
“As aunt said, sacrifice and chance give birth to life, it's a condition of use of their forbidden magic that can control Robur Spei. For example, Ryuzaki can only perform his magic when Sachi makes a sacrifice, while your aunt is in a different way,” said aunty as she turned her eyes to Haruki.
“The first condition is fulfilled .. And also, as long as he is confined, he may expect an opportunity for all the mistakes he made in the past. When everything is fulfilled, the forbidden magic will only work.”
“Again, magic is still magic .. For those who can not do it, will find it difficult to accept all that,” continued aunt, she turned her head with a smile towards us.
