Fake Princess
DLIII Chapter
“I, no matter what you will do after we leave. If you want to ally with any Emperor, I have no problem with it,” said I who cast a glance at Prince Ryszard, “akan but, do not blame anyone if only, come happen to you. Also, be careful of nature, for what nature will do for a greedy leader like you.”
“Actually, I would love to directly destroy this Kingdom of yours. Unfortunately, if I do not think of those who are innocent, you .. Must have been destroyed along with this Kingdom of yours,” said I who also turned around by stepping away following Haruki.
I stepped out of the room, my footsteps coming back to a halt as both of my eyes fell towards Haruki who was sitting crouching in the courtyard that was far in front of the door. My steps continue to approach her, “what are you doing, nii-chan? Did you call Grandpa?” I asked as I glanced towards the small mound of land not too far from his feet.
Haruki was still silent, he stood beside me while still directing his eyes towards the mound he made. My eyes, diverted towards the tree trunk that split in two. I also bowed my body following Haruki as he had also bent his body towards the shadow that came out of the tree trunk.
“What, something happened to you?”
I raised my body again when his voice sounded, “kakek, we can't talk about it here,” said Haruki who followed by glancing his eyes around.
“No need to worry, I ... Will know soon if there is a human coming,” said grandfather, said, I stepped closer and closer to Haruki as thicket roots suddenly grew on the surface of the ground that surrounded us.
“We, betrayed by the leader of this Kingdom, Grandpa,” Haruki said as he told us what really happened to us earlier.
"We, want to leave this place. However, if we leave just like that ... No one knows what the King will do without our knowledge" Haruki said with his head bowed.
"You want grandfather, to watch over them?"
I glanced at Haruki who was still downcast not answering, "grandfather understood. You can just get out of here, leave everything to Grandpa. In the slightest, the news of your existence will not be able to get out of here. Grandpa make sure of that."
"However," he said again, glancing sharply at me, "take the man to me. Get him to see me right now, and for you Haruki, get the others out of here! Grandfather will escort the two of them if the business between us is done," Grandfather said as he turned around, walking back inside the tree trunk.
“Nii-chan,” I said as I turned to him.
I raised my palm as Haruki himself raised his palm. He lowered his head while writing one letter at a time on top of that palm of my hand, “fight?” I asked, when his fingers stopped moving.
Haruki stepped forward, “if Grandpa is angry, because you didn't listen to his orders. You, remember, what Duke warned us, right?” whispered Haruki who made my eyes bow.
Haruki took a few steps back, he smiled before turning around and then stepped away leaving me who was still standing alone. I, took a deep breath before resuming my footsteps walked following Haruki from behind.
I also stopped my steps when Haruki did the same thing, I raised my palm waving as my eyes looked towards Zeki who was standing next to Adinata. Zeki's forehead wrinkled as the wave movement of my hand was getting faster, “you're slow once, quickly follow me!” I walked closer while pulling his hand.
“To where? I, must order my Knights to prepare to leave here.”
“Come Zeki, hurry up a little!” I cried again, the grip of my hand that pulled his hand was getting stronger when the eyes of the two of us returned to face.
Zeki sighed before stepping past me, “you want to take me where?” he asked, when we both had walked a little away from them.
“There is someone who wants to get acquainted with you,” I said slowly followed by the grip of my hand on his increasingly strengthened arm.
“Is there something you're hiding from me?” He asked back while looking at me.
“Who, the person who wants to get to know me is?” ask me again.
I took a breath while throwing a sideways glance, “a man,” I said half whispered with a downcast face.
I also stopped moving, when he who walked beside me stopped his steps, “don't tell me, it's one of the men who chased you? Who else is that guy? How many more, men are my rivals?” it was the incline that made me lift my eyes.
“She, a man who was very close to my family. Very close,” I replied slowly while still throwing a side view.
“Then, who is that guy? What, answering is very heavy for you?”
“I, can't say it here. Better, we just go to see him,” my connection, I tighten my embrace on his arm before pulling his body it goes closer and closer to the tree where previously I and Haruki met grandfather.
The trunk of the tree was re-sculpted when Zeki and I stopped in front of him, “what is this, Sachi?” whispered Zeki while looking at me.
“Go in, even my two brothers have never been here. So,” said I stopped while lifting the index finger closer to the lips.
I stepped forward by pulling Zeki's arm through the gaping hole created by the tree trunk. “You, take me where?” Zeki whispered again after we passed the tree.
I threw a glance around, the expanse of grass that stretched out looked pampering to the eyes. However, that is not my purpose in coming here .. Where is grandfather? He asked me to come here to take Zeki, but he himself is unknown to his whereabouts.
I pulled Zeki's arm towards the left as the small petals of the flower flew around. The more we walked forward, the more clearly the smell of the flowers also smelled. Both of my legs continued to step followed by my eyes that glanced down, towards the creeping roots that moved slowly on the sidelines of the grass.
My steps came to a standstill with Zeki's arm firmly restrained as my eyes fell towards the line of Elves standing over us. Dan, do you know what? What makes me think less. A huge throne made of twists of roots full of flowers, stood firmly in the middle of the line of Elves.
“Jeez, what exactly did he do?” I murmured slowly with a look towards Grandfather who was sitting staring at us from that huge root throne.
