Fake Princess
Aniela Zygmunt (Side Story')
“Aniela, how? Did you accept that proposal?”
“I, will not agree to it, if you marry those who ally with the Emperor. But I, will agree to it if you accept the proposal of the Sora Kingdom Prince! Sora, they are a great Kingdom, their ambition is the same as ours, against the Emperor. I, not wanting to know, you have to accept it!”
Then why are you asking me about my opinion? If in the end, your decision remains absolute.
I was hidden, not previously recognized as your son. After Brother was healed by those you consider allies, you even raised me to the surface instead of strengthening the Kingdom. Takaoka Aeneas's? I don't even know who he is, why I should marry a man I don't even know who.
______________.
“Princess, we're almost there.”
The sound of horse footsteps, colliding with my increasingly erratic heartbeat. I raised my hand, pressing it firmly against my chest. What is the Kingdom of Sora like? Women are never valued in this world, are they? What will happen to me when I get there? I can't do anything, all I have is my face and my body, how is this? They must have treated me badly.
I was jolted as the carriage door opened, my palms getting wet with sweat as the Knight said, that we have arrived. I took a deep breath, my legs were shaking, it was hard to move as I tried to get off the car. “Dia come.” I was stunned, when a female voice rang out as my feet had retraced on the ground.
I fell silent, my eyes fixed on a middle-aged man with three women, and a pair of small children standing, smilingly looking at me. “Takaoka Kudou, Father of Prince Takaoka Aeneas .. Welcome, in our Kingdom, my future son-in-law,” said the middle-aged man smiling at me.
Is this really Sora? They're a very powerful great Kingdom, aren't they? Are they, indeed, this seramah treats women?
“The one on my right is my wife, Takaoka Ardella. Meanwhile, the two women on my left, they are your sister-in-law candidates, Luana and Sasithorn,” he said again, followed by a nod of the heads of the three women.
“Miyu, Hikaru, say hello to your aunt,” said one of the women whose body was dark.
The girl, along with the little boy standing nearby, bent their bodies towards me before the boy re-embraced her. “Eneas, along with my other children are still on their way home. We have prepared everything you need, do not hesitate,” said the middle-aged man who again smiled at me.

I've lived here for a few days, and honestly .. Even now, I'm still not used to this Kingdom. “Auntie, does Aunty need anything?” I was stunned when the voice of the girl knocked on the ear.
Gleaned my eyes down, looking at Miyu who had been standing near me with a few stacks of books in her hands. “No. I don't need anything.”
The girl's forehead wrinkled at me, “Grandfather said, in the family there is no need to speak too stiffly like that. Aunty is getting married to Uncle Aeneas, that means Aunt is also our family,” he said, he walked past me while putting the book he brought to the table near us.
“Do you know how women are suffering out there?”
What are you doing Aniela? She, just a girl of sem-old age
“I know,” answered casually looking at me, “that's why I'm now trying to learn so many things to help Dad and Uncle and Aunt fight. Father said, since I was born lucky to have it all, therefore I must also make use of everything I have to be able to help others.”
“Miyu! Uncle came home to bring you something.”
I gasped as a male voice could be heard knocking on my ears. I was stunned again, when my eyes and the gray eyes of a man met. “Uncle!” Miyu ran quickly past me approaching the man.
The man leaned over, holding Miyu who was standing next to him, “niece of my beautiful Uncle. You look more beautiful every time we meet,” said the man as he pinched Miyu's cheek in his carry.
“Are you Princess Aniela?” my head nodded quickly to answer his words.
“Takaoka Izumi, second brother of Prince Takaoka Aeneas. Greetings to you, prospective sister-in-law,” he said smiling before turning around with Miyu in his arms.
“Don't just keep quiet like that. My other brother, and also Aeneas must have been impatient to meet you,” he continued while walking without even turning around.
I walked behind him, my steps halting back as my eyes fell on the few people who were clutching each other. “Dad,” Miyu said, she walked up to one of the men after the man named Izumi dropped her off her carrier.
The man crouches hugging Miyu, “how are you doing?” she asked him by rubbing the back of Miyu's head.
“Miyu is fine, Dad. Father himself how?”
“Did you miss Dad?” The man held Miyu after he nodded his head, “Miyu, did you see where your mother is?”
“Hikaru's body is dirty after practicing the sword with Grandpa, so now Mom is probably bathing him,” Miyu replied as she raised her index finger touching her lips.
“Eneas, why do you just keep quiet like that when your future wife is now right in front of you.”
I fell silent, I firmly grasped both my hands when Izumi's voice came back. I cast my eyes on a man who stood bowed. His hair was black, his body was tall and well-built, just like the other men before me. I was glued when her black eyes lifted up looking at me, “Takaoka Aeneas, sa-greetings know.”
“What kind of introduction is it!”
Eneas' body moved then stopped right in front of me when Izumi hit her back hard, “nii-san, what are you doing?!” He shouted by turning to look towards Izumi who was standing behind him.
“What is that way you treat a future wife?!”
“Stop Izumi, look at her red face,” continues the man who was holding Miyu as he smiled looking at us.
“We are not acquainted yet, Takaoka Haruki. The eldest son of the Takaoka Family,” said the man who carried Miyu back.
“Takaoka Sachi, you can call me Sachi's sister. Nice to meet you, future sister-in-law,” chimpanzees a green-eyed woman standing in the middle of them.
