Fake Princess
Dxlii Chapter
I retracted my hand with a sigh as she slowly stood up on her own. “Kou, open the gate and bring the Uki back,” muttered as I walked closer to Uki.
I crouched down, looking at Uki who had perched on the window, “Uki, you can come back. Thank you for your help today,” I said as I raised my hand to rub his head.
Uki jumped backwards followed by his two wings flapping wide, the feather on his tail was waving in the wind as he increasingly flew away. “How are you doing?” ask me while turning around and then stepping closer to him who has stood up.
“Try walking, so that your father can see for himself the recovery of his son,” my connection back which made him stare intently at me.
“Don't look at me like that, I don't pity you now. I healed you because it was a covenant, so you don't have to feel burdened with thanks,” I continued by crossing my arms nearby.
“So try to walk, there is still much I have to finish,”, I said again, which was replied by the tongue that he made.
His head fell back, his right leg slowly raised .. He walked very slowly until he sat back on his bed. “You have done very well, I will tell your recovery to your father,” I said as I turned around and stepped closer to the door.
“Who are you?”
My hand that was about to open the door stopped, “Takaoka Sachi, remember my name well,” said I again move my hand open the door and walk out.
“Talk to the King if the Prince has been able to walk back, and call a servant to take care of his needs,” I continued by turning to one of the Knights who guarded.
My steps continued back down the palace hallway and then stopped back in front of the room the King had provided for us. I opened the door of the room, and I walked in. I found those who were relaxing, chatting with each other.
Haruki stopped her words by turning her head towards me, “how is Sa-chan? Did you finish it well?” her question was greeted by their gazes all towards me.
I stepped up, sighing with a scratch on my own neck, “I have solved everything. I am very tired, so I will rest for a while,”, I said as I went up to the bed after previously removing the shoes I was wearing.
“Later tonight, the King invites us to dinner, he also asks us to attend a festival the day after tomorrow.”
I turned towards Haruki who was speaking looking at me, “festival?”
“Eneas and Princess Aniela are obliged to come along, this is like the tradition of their ancestors here,” replied Haruki who again rested in his chair.
I nodded my head and put her back in bed, “ alright, whatever you ordered nii-chan. After all, now that I'm tired once,” muttered me while slowly closing both eyes.

“You sure, want to attend the festival as a man? Though from what I heard, it's a festival that is celebrated specifically for women who are around the Palace.”
I lifted my head after I had run out of my hair, “festival that for those who pair up, while my own partner was not here. Then why do I do it,” answered me moving with a glance towards Izumi who previously asked.
“Eneas, you look so nervous,” I said by gently hitting her shoulder.
“If he hears what you're saying, he'll be very hurt,” I said, I raised a palm rubbing the back of his head as he turned towards me, “just imagine if you were in the same position as him. Having memories in old life is terrible, after what hit us there,” connect me while stepping foot through it.
I took a breath before walking out after Ryuzaki, occasionally tidying up his hair so that his ears were invisible as we walked along. Our footsteps came to a halt when King Piotr, Prince of Ryszard, and also Princess Aniela who stood before us, My gaze, my eyes, turn towards the Princess who looks elegant by using a white dress filled with several embroidery, along with a flower wrapped around her head.
They turned around, then walked back when we had bent our bodies. They took us out of the Palace, walking towards the line of Knights with three magnificent chariots of black, gold-plated horses in the middle of the line of Knights. The King, the Prince and Haruki got into one of the trains .. While I, Izumi and Ryuzaki were on the other train, and of course, Aeneas and the Princess were on the other train.
I threw a glance at the window, when I felt the train had moved, “nii-chan, what do you think the festival was like?” I murmured slowly while still throwing my eyes out the window.
“Entahlah, I also just found out if there is a festival for women in this world,” he replied which also sounded soft in the ear.
“I really can't wait to see it straight away,” I said slowly by looking back at him.
“It's like the world you dreamed of, isn't it?” he said he smiled back at me.
The longer we walked forward, the more we heard the sound of music mixed with singing that touched the ear. I turned to the side as the carriage we were riding stopped, Izumi who was sitting opposite to us. Moving on, as the carriage door opened slowly from outside. I moved on after Ryuzaki had gone down to follow Izumi.
My lips were slightly opened, both of my eyes grew. Waving women walking in front of us, they all wore the same dress that the Princess wore, complete with a wreath of flowers adorning their heads.
I turned to the side, as the singing voice of the middle-aged women grew increasingly heard, they sang around the stack of wood arranged upwards. “Kak Sachi,” my eyes quickly turned towards him who had been standing before me with a headdress made of flowers, the same side as he had.
“I made it especially for you, sister,” Aniela said as she handed me the flower.
“I'm disguised as a man, did you forget?” my hatchling, he was bowed by tightly grasping the headdress.
“Sorry, I forgot that important thing,” he said, he raised his head again with a smile looking at me.
“What are you talking about?”
“You made this for him?” continued Haruki who stopped his steps near us.
“Give it to me,” Haruki said again as he raised his palm.
He pointed the flower curl over my head, “nii-chan,” I said by raising both hands clasping his arms.
“I don't want to continue the journey if your mind is divided, Sa-chan. I deliberately took the sea lanes in order to give us more time for him to come here.”
“What do you mean, nii-chan?”
“What he means is me. Quickly change your clothes, we will follow this festival,” I was instantly stunned when the male voice from behind knocked on the ear.
