Fake Princess
DXXXVII Chapter
I again walked backwards leaning on the wagon as we were all stopped by the three Knights who were standing in front of the gate, my hand moved to pull the clothes I was wearing and then fanned the clothes until the wind slightly gusted to touch the body followed by my eyes that were still staring at Haruki who was talking to one of the Knights.
“We are all men!”
My body was stunned, I stood up straight again as Haruki's clap to the Knight sounded, “how, we can trust him!”
“The face at a glance looks like a woman, but let's see! Round thing with its neck!” I glanced at Izumi who snapped back by pointing towards Haruki.
“What are you, want me to open all my clothes here to prove it?!” Haruki's voice rose again followed by his hands moving to hold the end of the clothes he was wearing.
“Then what about the two of them?!” The knight again snapped at Haruki with his index finger pointing at me and Ryuzaki alternately.
I cleared my throat slowly, trying to change a little bit the intonation of my voice, “can't you see? Did you see the lump that was here? Did you see it?!” I snapped back at the Knight earlier by clapping my hands towards my chest.
“We are twins, do I also have to show you my body?” sahut Ryuzaki chimed in on my words.
Haruki stepped forward to approach the Knight earlier, “what are you, wanting to feel my body to make sure? My face is stunning, but I,” Haruki said, he raised the Knight's palm towards his shoulder.
The knight immediately walked back by pulling his hand from Haruki, “open the gate!” He raised his voice again as he looked towards the two Knights who were standing in front of the gate.
Haruki turned around, then stepped his foot away from the Knight. He smiled for a moment before turning his back to the cart he was carrying. I also pushed the wagon with Eneas following Haruki who had first passed through the gate of the Kingdom. The wagon that Haruki was carrying kept on speeding down the road with some men who were downstream walking past us.
Haruki stopped his wagon, I stared at him who had walked over to a small house beside the road. Haruki knocked on the door of the house until the sound of a man inside. The door of the house opened followed by a man who walked out, Haruki gave a leather bag over the man's palm that led to him before the man walked away leaving us all.
“Bring all those barrels in! Then put the carts to the back of the house!” tukas Haruki who again walked closer to his wagon.
“Who was that boy?”
“He's the guard who guards this house. The fishermen usually rent this house for their use to stay overnight while selling fish,” timpal Haruki, he said, he hugged one of the wooden barrels then lifted the barrel from the top of the cart onto the back of Izumi who had been crouched nearby.
Izumi again stood up by lifting the barrel on his back into the house. Haruki again raised a barrel and placed it on the back of Ryuzaki who had also been squatting nearby. They did so over and over again, until all the carts were clean from the vats that had previously filled them.
I walked in following Haruki who had first entered there, there was nothing in this house, likewise, the floor is only ground, there are only barrels that we previously carried arranged in the corner of the room. I also stepped closer to Haruki who had opened one of the barrels, Haruki put his hand into the barrel and pulled out a large fish from the barrel.
"We have to do something with these fish, before they all rot," Haruki murmured softly.
“Do you want me to help you, nii-chan?”
“Just clean the sword using a cloth,” said Haruki who re-opened the barrel in front of him.
“Caine?”
My eyebrows shriveled before I lifted a little bit of my clothes. I moved both my hands unbinding from the winding of the cloth wrapped around my stomach. Before leaving, Haruki asked me to disguise myself as a man .. So I, not only wrapped around my chest using a cloth, but also wrapped around my stomach with a thick cloth so that they really looked flat.
It's a bummer, my chest is claustrophobic all the way. I even felt very grateful, for not dying while pulling the wagon.
I lift the cloth in my hand that rubs the sword that I have held in my other hand, “nii-chan,”, I said while still cleaning the sword.
“Why do the Knights forbid women to come?” again, I opened the sword, put down the belt that protected it before wiping back the inside.
“Bringing women in is not prohibited if there is a man who accompanies her, but .. Remember the name that is behind your ears. While in Paloma, I used the name Zeki, because Zeki himself used to be a nobody. Although his name indicates nobility, it is likely that they will see me as a Prince whose Kingdom has been destroyed.”
“But now and then it is very different, Zeki is King .. The king, although they do not know each other directly, they will know each other's names, he said, because they must have sent scouts to spy on a Kingdom that could potentially be their enemy. So, telling me if you are the fiancee of King Zeki Bechir, it is very dangerous,” he replied, drawing a sword from the mouth of the fish in his hand.
“Nii-chan, you've asked, haven't you? Have I ever felt, feel familiar to someone who has only met a few times?” I nodded slightly, grabbing back the sword he had placed on the ground.
I sighed as I sat back down, “aku, feeling the same way that Zeki and I met on our engagement day,” I said as I moved my hand wiping the sword I had just taken.
“Is this destiny? Was our relationship the same as the one we feel now? I was too afraid to know everything,” connect me while releasing the sword in my hand from the sheath.
“So you want to give up on your relationship, just like you said in Yadgar?” haruki asked, he walked over by raising a large fish in his hand.
“We have compiled all the carts behind the house.”
I closed my mouth as Izumi's voice sounded from outside followed by her walking in with Eneas and Ryuzaki walking behind her. “Good, if you're done, take two fish in a dark barrel, then take out the sword inside,” Haruki timps as he sits back crouching near me.
“Sa-chan, she didn't ban you, did she? I mean, he didn't ask you to stay away from that guy, did he? If the answer is that he didn't do it, then what are you afraid of it .. It's not true,” he said who carved a smile at me.
