Fake Princess
Dxxix Chapter
My steps came to a halt when a Knight fell backwards by the kick Izumi made, “what did they do?”
I glanced at Amanda who was standing beside me, “they just did what they had to do for our purposes,” said I who again continued to move closer to my two brothers.
“Call your King, say ... We want to meet,” Izumi said, she pushed behind the body of another Knight whose neck she choked.
The knight slightly rolled around holding his neck. He coughed followed by his bowed head with one hand grasping the ground. The footsteps of Izumi who had previously wanted to move closer to the other two Knights, came to a halt as Haruki walked past him by patting behind his back.
“We, emissaries from Balawijaya Kingdom. Tell your King we want to meet them,” Haruki said as his steps came to a halt in front of the four Knights.
My steps stopped, my hands moved to help an old man who had previously been tortured by the four Knights, “Eneas, help me to clean his wounds,” Eneas nodded slowly as my head looked up at him.
“Are you okay, Grandpa?”
“Don't fight someone who is obviously not willing to fight you. Choose a balanced opponent, you fucking Knights!” gertutuku while glancing sharply at one of the Knights who had previously been attacked by Izumi.
“Nee-chan, let me take care of it.”
“Are you sure, Eneas?” I asked by looking back at him.
I stood up again as Aeneas nodded his head. I took a deep breath before exhaling back in while still staring at the three remaining knights after one of them ran back towards the Palace gate. “Nii-chan, are you okay?” ask Izumi who is approaching.
Izumi stopped her steps followed by her eyes looking back, precisely towards the three Knights, “I am fine. They are too weak for the size of a Knight,” Izumi said as she glanced back at me.
I glanced at Amanda who was looking at us with her eyes that seemed to hold a lot of questions. “How is it?” My head moved slightly. looked at Haruki who had walked over.
“He is fine. There are no serious injuries,” replied Eneas who moved to remove the previously injured grandfather beside him.
“Grandfather, can you walk?”
“What are you guys up to?” The grandfather asked back when Izumi grabbed his arm when he almost fell to the side.
“We are newcomers.”
The grandfather immediately raised his hand to cover his face, a crying voice sounded from him when Haruki said those words to him. “Thank you Deus, thank you,” said the Grandpa as he was followed by his bowed head touching Izumi's hand.
I turned around as the sound of footsteps approached, I stared at the group of Knights wearing armor walking closer. “Your Majesty, ask you to come see him,” said one of the men who walked in leading the other Knights.
Haruki looked back with a glance towards us in turn, he nodded his head before walking up to the Knights who had walked to the side. I looked back, at Amanda who was still standing before my steps moved back after those who were walking away.
We continued to step forward past the Palace gate, with one of the Knights leading us in front. "Through here!" knock the Knight by turning side until we came back to meet a large two-leaf door, after the five of us had previously set foot down the Palace Park.
He took us down the interior of the Palace, small torches attached to the walls ... Make things around a little light. Every now and then, I glanced at the wall, staring at the tree carvings with flowers, like a forest imprinted there.
"Your Majesty, they have come."
My gaze turned to the man who had been standing at a brown door with the occasional knock heard accompanying his call. The man slowly opened the door, "come in!" he commanded us when the door was opened.
I stepped following Haruki who had gone inside followed by Eneas who was walking behind him. My body was stunned, staring at a large bed with open mosquito net curtains attached to the support poles on the right and left sides of the bed.
I glanced to the left, as the light suddenly went inside. Long I stared at the man the knight who led us, had stood by the window curtain he had opened in his hand. "Come here!" I again bit my lips as a raucous male voice suddenly touched the ears.
"Have you come because you received a letter from me?" the loud voice was heard again.
"Did the letter come from you? Who're you?" haruki asked the old man who was lying on the bed.
"What are you, Haruki?"
Both of my eyes widened as the old Grandfather moved his face turned towards us, "long time no see you guys, Izumi, Sachi," he said back with a glance at Izumi and I alternately.
"Alvaro?" my mouth trembled, I glanced towards Haruki and also Izumi who had turned towards me.
"It's nice that you still remember me, Sachi," she said with a smile until the wrinkles on her face became more visible.
"I know you're coming" he continued, glancing back at us in turn.
"What happened to you?"
"Izumi!"
Izumi's footsteps came to a halt as Haruki's voice snapped at her. "This is not the curse of nii-chan, I ... There was absolutely no sense of any magic around here," I said in Japanese as I moved closer to the bed.
I sat beside the bed, long I stared at his wrinkled face looking at me. "What happened to you?" I asked when my eyes fell back towards her gray hair.
"I don't know what happened either, Hime-sama."
"My body, it suddenly turned old when I was twelve. I'm happy" she said, smilingly looking at me.
"My desire to see you guys back before I die is finally fulfilled," he continued, I glanced sideways as Izumi herself had been sitting crouching beside me.
