Fake Princess
DXXXIX Chapter
“Are you sure we'll stay here?” sahut Izumi, he stepped slightly forward, staring at a small house squeezed by two slightly large houses on his right and left.
“I asked Kacper to prepare a place for us to stay while here. At least, in there is a bathroom for us to clean ourselves,” Haruki said, he walked forward while opening the house padlock with a key in his hand.
“Come in, My sisters! Because tomorrow, we will directly visit Istana.”
“Hah?!” reveal me, Eneas, and Izumi at the same time.
“Do not disturb your neighbors all. Just go inside, clean your body and rest!” connect Haruki who has disappeared inside.
I glanced at Izumi who had also glanced back at me. Both of my legs moved closer to the door of the house that opened as Izumi moved a bit of her head. “Nii-chan, are you sure we'll rest here? I mean-”
“You want us to stay in this dark room?” Izumi's voice chimed in my words.
“You how else, we got right before night came, we don't have time to make lighting at this time. So, just rest, tomorrow's new afternoon we'll clean the body. And for you, Izumi .. lead us to sleep in a decent place!” keep Haruki back who sounded from the front.
____________.
Both of my eyes opened slowly followed by my right hand moving to scratch my forehead as a faint rumbling sound rang out. I slowly sat down as Izumi and Haruki's voices alternated. “This is Ryu's clothes, can't you distinguish between mine and hers?”
“I do not know, I do not know! Just search for it yourself!” timpal Izumi, he stood up with a fold of cloth in his hand.
“Give this to him!” haruki's command while giving the folds of cloth in his hand to Izumi before he sat down crouching.
“Ryu, dress!” Izumi continued while throwing a fold of Haruki's cloth at Ryuzaki who was standing over them.
“You guys have prepared? Why didn't you wake me?”I muttered while staring at them in turn.
Izumi bent her body, “that's because you were the one who cleaned the body the longest between us. If we have to wait for you first, maybe the sun is shining bright before doing anything,” he said who returned to move while tidying up the clothes he had just worn.
I turned around by grabbing the bag that was beside me, “if I get ready, the time spent won't be that long, either,” my grumbling while opening the bag and then taking the folds of the clothes I was about to wear from her.
“We didn't wake you on purpose. You look really good, so we let you sleep a little longer,” said Haruki's voice heard from behind.
I stood up while walking with the folds of clothes in my hand, “Eneas was inside,” Ryuzaki said, I turned to him before continuing my steps, stand next to the bathroom door.
______________.
“We, want to meet the King!”
The two Knights guarding in front of the Palace gate gaped as Haruki said so casually. “Have he lost his mind?” Izumi half-whispered beside me.
One of the Knights glanced at us alternately, “we are now traveling, so we did not bring a single bodyguard. However, this is enough to be proof, right?” tukas Haruki, he raised a large gold coin towards the Knight.
“Nii-chan, do you know what it is?”
“That's a gold coin printed directly using the Royal stamp. Father purposely made it as proof if we are Prince and Princess Sora, when someone doubts the status we have,” replied Izumi whispered to me.
The two Knights exchanged lyrics, they nodded each of their heads then walked up to the gate and opened it. Haruki followed by Ryuzaki walking first through the gate, I first glanced towards Izumi before catching up with the two of them who had walked further and further away.
“We want to meet the King!”
Again Haruki said it to one of the knights standing not too far from the gate. The knight nodded, his body turned back to us before continuing his walking pace. The knight halted his steps again when we stopped in a large room with the door open.
The knight went inside, he came back again after we stood waiting a little while by allowing us to go inside. My steps came to a halt as Haruki also stopped his steps, “Takaoka Haruki, the first Prince of the Sora Kingdom. Greeting you, King Piotr Zygmunt,” Haruki said, we bowed when Haruki himself had bowed his body.
“Green eyes, grey eyes .. Youth group? So, the prophecy is true,” said the man, he stood up from his throne with a big smile on our face.
A prophecy?
“Our arrival here, because I .. Want to propose to your daughter,” said Haruki who made me frown, “for my sister,” continued Haruki again which made my forehead more constricted to hear it.
King Piotr again sat looking at her, “call my Daughter!” his orders were in a high tone to a man who was standing not too far away from him.
“I, heard many things about you from him. So when? You guys going against the Emperor?” King Piotr said so excitedly followed by a widened smile engraved on his cheek.
“We, don't really understand what you're saying, Raja.”
“My daughter said, if there will be a group of young men who come to visit our Kingdom. Among them, there were those who had green eyes as well as gray eyes. If I want to avenge the Emperor, then I .. Must join you.”
“That damn emperor! He made my first Son unable to walk anymore, then killed my other Son when he asked my children to visit the Empire. I, would love to eat his still beating heart to avenge all this grudge,” continued with a strong grip on his throne.
I just got it. So therefore .. So therefore, why are the Knights guarding the gates of the Kingdom, really trying to ascertain whether either of us have women or not. That's because, a prophecy that only describes a group of young people?
“What have they really come?”
I turned back as the female voice sounded. My eyes fell on a teenage girl standing at the door, staring at us with her breath out. She looks so beautiful …. White skin, brown hair with a grayish glare, her cheeks that met with red looked harmonious with her bright blue eyes.
The girl sprinted quickly towards one of us, “I am waiting for you. I really miss you .. Thank you Deus, thank you,” cried the girl while tightly hugging Aeneas who was standing near me.
