Fake Princess
DXXXIV Chapter
“We will go Westward after this. Tsu nii-chan, I leave them to you, take them all to a safe place,” I said as I stared at him who had been standing next to my horse.
“Do it, Princess,” she replied while bending her body.
I nodded before taking my horse away from him, “Izu-nii, what is it?” I asked as I stopped my horse's steps beside him.
“I just felt something happen to Haruki, do you know it?”
My head moved to look at Haruki who had been sitting on his horse by giving direction to the residents and also the Knights of the Ardenis Kingdom, “entah, I was less aware of what was really happening to him, too,” my exchange by returning to look towards Izumi.
Izumi lowered her head suddenly as Uki flew in from behind and alighted above her head, “Uki, do you want to break my neck?” izumi grumbled, she raised her head again followed by her hand which rubbed the back of her neck.
“Uki, come back again. I will ask Kou to open the gate for you, too linger here, not good for you,” I said, I raised my hand rubbed his face that leads to look at me.
“Kou, reopen your gate. And bring him home!”
“Go Uki! Kou, has been waiting for you,” connect me by patting his right wing softly.
Uki flapped his wings until he flew around Izumi's head before he climbed up and up until his own shadow was no longer visible. “Where is Lux?” I asked again, looking at Izumi.
“I spoke with Ryu, Lux was with him,” Izumi timpal, he moved both hands until his horse walked forward.
"Rhyu? And Lux? Are they familiar now?"
"That's it, but isn't that good?" timpal Izumi again while looking at me.
I moved my horse behind him. The two of us walked together, following Haruki, Eneas and also Ryuzaki who had been riding in front of us. Every now and then my eyes turned back, towards those who stood watching us from a distance as we all walked out of the forest. “So Haruki, where do you want to take us next?”
“Entaihah, can't we just walk first without a lot of questions popping up,” he replied, his back still pointing at us, reluctant to even turn around the slightest bit.
“Izu-nii!” I whispered, my head shook slowly as he stared at me.
“That doesn't mean I'll take you all without a destination. I've chosen where we're going next, just give me some time to calm my mind," Haruki continued, his horse continuing to slowly step forward without even a hint of flinching.

Haruki nodded his head, “you're right. If they go back through the Kingdom that we previously threw a tantrum at, it will endanger themselves.”
“Nee-chan, may I ask?” I glanced at Eneas who had been standing at the side while nodding my head.
“I dare not ask this to Haru nii-san, but ... Why should we make Ardenis look destroyed?” he whispered while lifting his palm to the tip of his lips.
I smiled at him, “Eneas, you must learn more to play with someone,” I said by moving the horse closer to the beach.
“Try to remember, what rumors we heard before knowing what really happened to Ardenis!”
“Mist forest, if you are not a native there, you will perish?”
I nodded my head again with a glance towards the ocean. “We will both check the port. We want to make sure when the ship we are going to be riding comes. Are you guys gonna be okay we stay?” I turned towards Izumi's heard scream.
“We are fine,” I said, Haruki and Izumi looked at each other and nodded before moving their horses around turning away from us.
“I almost forgot,” I said again by looking back at Eneas, “with such rumors. Of course it will scare ordinary people, but it will actually make someone like me or maybe the Emperor who has understood how great they are who are not humans, to target what is behind the fog.”
“Luckily, we move quickly compared to the Emperor, so we can get the forest dweller creature called Leshy that ... With us capturing the creature, the fog forest has been destroyed, right? Nothing else can deter someone from visiting Ardenis .. If we leave them, then someone comes by asking ... What really happened to you guys?”
“Then they replied by not knowing anything. Those who are ambitious with power like the Emperor, who will destroy anything even if they are not guilty. What will happen to Ardenis?”
“That's one of the worst possibilities we think of, although there are other possibilities that might be better. But remember this Eneas, this world does not make sense .. To survive, just think about all the worst possibilities. I just realized it in the last few days. Sounds like a loser running away from trouble, but it's better because we can still fix all the mistakes as long as we live .. Compared to, we lose lives but don't solve anything of it.”
“I so speak at length,” said I stopped the words for a moment with a sigh, “Kingdom Ardenis already no one else inhabits it, without occupants they would be considered to have been destroyed by anyone who later came to the place. And that, will make the lives of the residents and their Knights safe, because they can start a new life.”
“I, knowing him who fought for his Kingdom, though his Kingdom was destroyed by the Emperor. As long as he lives, his Kingdom will always be remembered, no matter remembered by himself or others also remember him. Because if I hadn't met him back then .. Maybe I wouldn't have trusted those who weren't human.”
“Maybe I won't be like now .. Bottom line, we just want them to start a new life without forgetting Ardenis. Because, the Ardenis can be rebuilt if they survive. As long as they stay alive, Ardenis will remain.”
“Omong empty!” Cuke me again while taking a breath with a bowed face, “all I said just now is nonsense. We, just want to carry out the last request from him,” my connection biting strongly on the lips before lifting back my face staring at the surface of the sea.
