Fake Princess
DXXXVI Chapter
“Ryu?” Izumi made a sound again by turning her gaze towards Ryuzaki who was sitting beside Aeneas.
“Kak Haruki once asked me, anyone who will support us later. So I, tell you the names of the Kingdom that always help us-”
“And, this Kingdom, one that will be our ally in the future,” Haruki said to Ryuzaki.
“If it's true like that, why not just say it,” Izumi connect back heard.
“Because if you knew it from the beginning, I'm afraid you'd turn it down. However, if you know about it in the moments before we do, you no longer have any reason to reject it,” continued Haruki, his head slightly forward with a smile carved back Izumi's glance at him.
“We're your sister, did you forget?”
“It is precisely because you are my sister that you have the right to reject all the words that I command,” he said back to answer Izumi's words.
“Then? What the hell is here? What kingdom is this really? And what's so special about this Kingdom, brother?”
Haruki smiled again followed by his hand that increasingly grasped tightly the cup in his hand, “something interesting, which is where we as brothers are not good to miss Izumi, Izumi,” replied Haruki with a glance of her eyes towards me who was beside her.

“Are we not riding a horse to get there?” eneas asked as he had walked out of the house with Izumi behind him.
“We have bought a lot of fish from fishermen around, we will not come there as a traveler, but as a fish trader, he said,” replied Haruki while pointing towards a few rows of carts filled with wooden barrels on it.
“Kacper, have you done what I ordered?” Haruki turned around by turning his head towards the man who walked over with a blood on his hand.
“Everything, I have done as ordered from you, Sir,” he said, as his footsteps stopped beside Haruki.
“He's not coming?” timpal Izumi, I glanced at him who had been standing to my right.
“He has a family, I don't want his family to get into trouble when the guards find out that he's helping us,” Haruki replied, he turned his head towards us with his hands crossed.
“That's wearing a cart, isn't it? There is nothing wrong if we also bring a horse to pull it,” Izumi timpal, he slightly advanced his back with his hands pointed towards the side of the house.
“Fishermen here, do not have much money to buy a horse. In fact, the fish we will bring later will be purchased very cheaply there,” replied Haruki who made us speechless.
“If you guys understand, let's shoulder to shoulder take those carts to the center of the Kingdom city, my sisters,” continued Haruki patting once his palm smilingly looking at us in turn.

I walked a little back and leaned back to the cart we were carrying. I stared at the two carts brought by Haruki and also Ryuzaki walking in front of us, “oi, why did you guys stop?” I glanced to the side, as Izumi also stopped her carriage beside us.
“I'm tired, nii-chan. Can we take a break?”
“Sa-chan, we're almost there. Excitement!”
I sighed by patting my chest softly a few times when a shout from him sounded. “Sachi,” my head turned back towards Izumi when her voice came touching my ears.
“You heard what the man said yesterday, didn't you? I mean, Kacper,” my head nods with still staring at him, “usually, you're the most excited to destroy the place found tormenting perem-”
“You want to say, why do I have no intention of helping them at all? I, right, don't I?”
Glancing my eyes back towards the front as Izumi nodded her head, “that's because they have a choice, unlike the women I met before,” I said leaning back as I raised my head upwards.
“In that village, there were no men to look after them. Indeed, the engagement was not their wish .. But after what happened there, they had a great chance to escape. They, have a great chance to save themselves, but unfortunately they do not intend or may never think to do so.”
“Then, why didn't you help to save them?”
“I am now trying, I left home just to give freedom not just to them. Once women gain their own independence, their struggle will be even tougher.”
“They must learn many things to rival the power of men, if they alone are not strong enough to protect themselves now. What will happen to them in the future? Didn't you yourself say .. I'm not Deus, I'm not obligated to save everyone. I'm sorry, for being late to realize all that.”
“Eneas, in the count of three we move the wagon again,” my connection went by holding the handle of the cart that runs across from me.
“You, don't try to lie to yourself.”
I smiled slightly as I looked at my two hands tightly grasped the handle of the wagon, “I'm not trying to lie to myself, nii-chan. If only this weak me could fight for my own happiness. I know, if everyone is different, but that doesn't mean they don't have the strength to protect themselves.”
"Again, we are here to be able to establish cooperation as Haru-nii said. If we suddenly invade their territory, how could they possibly trust us" I replied with a head bow.
"What's more important now, is how we get as much help as possible to help us fight the Emperor. After all, if later we can work together ... We can give the conditions to release those women to our potential allies."
"I will not do anything that would harm my family. So trust me, nii-chan," I connected by strengthening my grip on the carriage handle.
“Eneas, in a matter of three. One, two, three ... Push Eneas!” my command while moving the body carried a cart filled with barrels full of fish.
If being naive ruined my own life, destroyed my family. So I, no longer want to have this nature.
