Fake Princess
DXXXII Chapter
“So, how about Alvaro now?”
“She was with Uki. I left it with Uki,” I replied with a face lift looking at Izumi.
“I understand. I'll meet him, you .. Just help Haruki,” he said, he patted me on the shoulder before turning his foot away.
“Why? Are you thinking of something again now?”
My eyes glanced at Haruki who had stood his back. "I'm just thinking, what it's like .. When you're being selfish not wanting to help someone even though you can help them.”
“What kind of help do you mean? Help at the expense of others? Or help by sacrificing yourself? What about those who are always around you? Do their feelings not matter so much to you?”
“You're not Deus, Sa-chan. You, will not be able to bear every suffering of those around you. Let them, wrestle with their own problems. Likewise with you, just wrestling with your own problems,” continued Haruki while moving his head to look back.
“I know everything .. Do you think that hiding it from me makes me know nothing? I don't want to see my sister sacrifice her life for someone else's sake, if you do it .. I'll finish them off myself,” he said as he stepped away.
I took a deep breath while still staring at Haruki's back that was moving away. I turned around as several flower petals flew in front of me, “Grandfather?” I murmured as my eyes fell towards a shadow standing beside the tree.
I set foot near the tree, “Grandfather, what suddenly came, did something happen?” I asked when my steps stopped in front of him.
“Did something happen between you?”
My eyeballs are moving to the right corner, “nothing. Just a conversation between brothers,” I replied by looking back at him.
“Do not have any thoughts of wearing forbidden magic. Robur Spei's magic, it's not used just for your own sake. Better, act like you don't know anything. Did you forget what Ryuzaki said? Don't make the green-eye rumors come true, don't put your own life at risk. Or Grandfather, will take you forcibly to the world of Elves,” he said, he turned around to walk into the bark of the tree before the tree trunk was closed again.

“What are you doing?”
I looked back, “ made something for Alvaro,” I said as I looked back at the few Knights who were doing what I told them to do.
“What do you make?”
“A wheelchair. Where is Uki? And, how is it?” I asked with a glance at him who had been standing at the side.
“Uki is with Eneas now, while Alvaro himself .. He fell asleep in his room, he ... Also look for you.”
“Really? Just say it, I have a lot of things to take care of.”
“Do you avoid it?”
“Don't know, I just felt unable to meet him after what happened,” I replied, I stepped forward again and crouched down by giving orders to the Knights who were cutting wood.
“Do-”
“Nii-chan, if the thing I made is done. Help me to give it to Alvaro, and help me to take it out using this thing .. He, must have seen for a long time no Kingdom or Palace,”, I said, who immediately cut his words.
“I understand. Just tell me if everything is done,” my head nods to answer his words.
_______________.
“I have asked the Knights to keep well half of the Kingdom's treasures for their provisions in the outside world, while the other half I order them to be distributed to the inhabitants. Eneas who directly watch over them-”
“But nii-chan, what about Alvaro and his Knights?”
“They will stay at the border of Sora, the vice-captains who will escort them during the return journey. As for ourselves, after doing everything .. We will return to continue the journey.”
“I understand. Have you found any interesting places we'll visit next, nii-chan?”
Haruki turned to look at me, “many. There are so many interesting places that I want to visit with you,”, he said, returning his eyes to the front.
I looked at Haruki who had stepped forward, towards a woman who was walking closer. “Amanda?” tukasku who also stepped foot and stopped near them.
“I asked him to collect those who are old in one place,” said Haruki who received a cloth package from him.
Haruki opened the cloth package that Amanda gave him, “so this is all you got?” tukas Haruki by again closing the package containing jewelry in his hand.
“Only that's what I got, actually ... What's that sparkling thing for?”
“If you sell it, you can have a lot of money to buy a lot of delicious food you want out there. Don't sell them all at once, sell them one by one so that criminals don't come to you,” said Haruki who made me frown at him.
“Our bodyguards will take you to a safe place. I want you to take good care of those who are old, use everything well. The outside world, not as good as you think,” Haruki said as he lifted a cloth containing jewelry towards Amanda.
Amanda raised her hand and hugged the package, “I understand. I'll do well, can I go now?” Amanda turned around and walked away as Haruki nodded his head.
“Nii-chan, that's weird,” muttered me while still staring at Amanda's back who had walked further and further down the hill.
“What's weird?” Haruki asked back, I turned to her who had been looking at me, “seeing you are familiar with women. That, like a miracle.”
Haruki's eyebrows shriveled, “what do I usually look like?”
“You know, like a man who is hard to reach. Men who can only be admired but are hard to have.”
Haruki hit my forehead using his finger, “don't say such strange words. Better, help Izumi .. Don't try to escape, or Alvaro will be suspicious if you always avoid him,” he said who walked past me.
"It's the second day you ignore it, don't you?" the one who turned back to me.
I turned around following his steps, “I understand, I'll meet him back. Anyway nii-chan, did something happen to you?”
“What happened to me?”
“I'm your sister, I can feel it. Something happened to you, didn't it?”
“Do you, ever feel familiar when meeting someone new several times you meet?”
“Means?”
“Nothing. Forget it,” he said patting my head before stepping his feet increasingly left me.
