Fake Princess
DXXXI Chapter
I raised both my hands up as the cold air that blew suddenly I felt, I stared at the small shadow that flew over from the air, “I miss you, Uki,” I said as I hugged her tightly.
Uki flew a little backwards as I released my embrace to her, her reddish fur grew even more shiny as the sunlight fell on her. Her tail, which was covered in red feathers with blue tips, was dangling .. Waving as she flew head over heels before coming back to me.
“You are growing so fast now, I even have trouble hugging you,” I said by stroking his head that was leaning on my shoulder.
“Will you help me, Uki? I have a friend who is sick now, help me to heal him . You, our only hope, set my eyes on him who has flown away near the door.
“Kou, you can come back now! Thank you for answering my orders,” muttered me slowly while walking closer to Uki who was still flying back and forth near the door.
Uki quickly flew out when I opened the door, I turned to close the door before walking back down the Palace hall leading straight to Alvaro's room. My steps came to a halt, as the Knight who had previously accompanied us .. Standing beside the door of Alvaro's room with his eyes fixed on us, “it was my animal that would help Alvaro. Can you open the door for me?” tukasku looked at him as his eyes turned towards Uki who was already perched on his head.
He walked towards the door, and his hand opened the door. I slightly glanced back, towards him who also walked in with Uki who was still reluctant to leave his head. “Alvaro, I brought something for you,” my words that looked back at Alvaro followed by my legs that walked closer and closer to the bed.
“Alvaro?” I sat beside the bed .. Staring at him who was still sound asleep.
“Uki, come closer!” my orders while turning my eyes towards Uki.
I turned my gaze back towards Alvaro who opened his eyes slowly, “aku, will heal you. Hang on,” I said with a smile looking at him.
“What is animal?” his tank, he glanced towards Uki who flew past him.
“You're right, he's my animal,” I said as his eyes returned to me.
“But I, don't want to be healed. I, too ashamed as the leader of the Kingdom of Ardenis to be healed,” said with a raucous voice knocking on the ears.
“Alvaro, there is always a chance for every creature. With the letter you sent, you can save all the Knights and your people, right? They, will be very grateful to you .. If they know, you are the one who fought to help them all,”, I smiled back at him.
“I, rather we, fought to fight against the Emperor for what he did to us a few years ago. And my biggest dream, is to lead that fight. I, too, cannot wait to make the King of Ardenis my ally. Do you, do not want to join one of the troops directly led by a beautiful and young General like me?”
“Zeki, must be very lucky to have you, Sachi,” replied that made me look at him for a long time.
“Therefore, stay alive to attend our wedding ceremony later. Danurdara now has a child, don't you want to see her child? Adinata and Julissa are getting married before us, they would be happy if you could attend their wedding ceremony. So Alvaro, don't say such a thing back,” I said with a smile back looking at him.
“Uki!” call me while turning my eyes towards Uki who has moved his legs back closer.
“Open your mouth, Alvaro!” my orders were when Uki brought his beak close to Alvaro's lips.
Alvaro opened his lips slightly as Uki moved his face sideways near his face, I was stunned, there was no change whatsoever as Uki again raised his body away from Alvaro. “What are you, able to bring the three men who were with me earlier?” my question while looking towards the Knights who were still standing looked at us.
He nodded his head before turning around then stepping leaving us in the room, “Alvaro, I will be back soon,” I said, he nodded softly answering my words to him.
I moved after saying it, both of my legs stepped open the door of the room. I stood by leaning against the wall, with the occasional glance to the right and to the left .. I turned to the right side, stepped closer to Izumi after a long wait, “where is Haru-nii?” I asked after stopping my steps before him.
“Haruki invited some Knights to give word to the villagers, Aeneas went along with him. What was? Did something happen?” He asked back by looking at me.
“Take me to meet him. This is important, nii-chan,” I said as I moved my hand to hold her arm.
Izumi long looked at me, she turned around without saying a word. I bowed my legs following him from behind, our steps getting faster as we both walked out through the main door of the Palace. Izumi led me closer to the Palace gate, her legs moving without even looking back.
“Haru nii-chan!” I ran over with a few screams calling out to him.
Haruki who was talking to some Knights, turned his head towards me, “Haru-nii, do you still remember what was written in the book about Uki?” I asked with a gasp of breath as my steps stopped before him.
“What happened something?” I nodded my head as she asked back.
“Benah breath, if it is interrupted it will remain disconnected,” I said, Haruki widened his eyes to reply to my words.
“Do not say-”
“What should I say to him, nii-chan,” my reply was to cut his words immediately.
“Quiet! Calm down,” said Haruki softly heard followed by his bowed head.
“What do you two mean?”
Haruki turned around by looking at the few Knights who were still standing behind him, “you guys, go first! I, will soon follow,” Haruki told them, Haruki looked back at us after the Knights moved away from us.
“This is about Uki magic. In the book it says, Phoenix can heal anything, except .. Those who are indeed destined to die in the near future.”
“You mean-”
Haruki nodded his head chiming in on Izumi's words, “what about Kou? Has he dug up information from the Leshy's?”
I nodded in response to his question, “para Leshy, just like the Manticore who ran away to save themselves into the human world. When they came, that was when the ground shook and the great flood came to form a forest of mist. They, do it so that the humans do not disturb their lives,” I said with a downcast look.
“Aku too, had asked the Knights who guarded him. He said, if Alvaro first fell ill .. It happened not long after this Kingdom sank. The previous king, I mean his father Alvaro, killed himself for not being able to accept what his Kingdom and his Son experienced.”
Haruki sighed by lifting back his gaze, “assume we all get a letter from him sooner,” Haruki said back to a standstill as he threw his gaze aside.
