Fake Princess
DXCVII Chapter
I walked, following Lux who was flying in front of me. Capitalized, branches from tree branches lying on the ground .. I made a little way from the tall grass around me. My steps continued with one hand moving the twig I was carrying, to the right and to the left splitting the grass.
“Sachi, are you okay?”
My eyes lifted back to look at him who had flown closer and then perched on my shoulders, “I am fine. How're you? You, not hurt, are you?”
I move my head to the side when I feel something touching my neck. “While small, I am not weak. Supposedly, you worry about yourself,” he said, until I feel the pull on the thin hair that is near the ears.
“I understand, I understand.”
“Lux, is it still far?” connect me by glancing back at him.
“Did you forget the big tree on which you rest?”
“I, have seen the tree while flying earlier. Just go forward, we will find him soon,” he continued slowly heard in the ear.
My steps continued by occasionally throwing my eyes around. Sometimes I stop for a moment, just to wipe away the flooded sweat. My legs bent, then sat on the grass as my breathing grew uncontrollable. “You why, Sachi?” his voice was followed by elusan slowly touching my neck.
I was still bowed by holding tightly to my forehead, “aku, haven't eaten or drank anything since last night. The last few days, my body was poisoned .. Maybe that's one of the reasons my head hurts so much,” I replied slowly while still trying to catch my breath.
I raised my head, looking at Lux who had flown in front of the face, “you also did not carry a bag. Almost all, my potion was there,” he said, looking agitated while moving his head.
I took a breath and gulped myself, before I forced my body to stand up again, “no need to worry like that. My head, it's okay,” I replied, trying to smile so he wouldn't worry.
“Lux, can you fly, holding my hand?” ask me while raising the index finger of my left hand towards him.
I smiled again as Lux grabbed and grabbed my index finger. My steps continued again, while occasionally glancing at him who was flying by the side holding onto that finger of my hand. “A long time ago, we didn't walk like this, did we?” I asked by looking back at him.
Lux flew up while raising her head, returning my gaze, “you're right. The last time we were like this, was when we infiltrated the forest just to meet Kou. Your fingers, fast growing up,” replied, with a little laugh from me that chimed in his words.
“Do you remember, Sachi?”
“Where's the day, the first time for me to come to your home?”
My head nodded softly answering his question, “hal, it also became the first time for me to sleep on a pillow that was so tender since leaving the Elves. Even though our affair with the Emperor is over .. I would like, we remain friends. I want to, stay a part of your family.”
“You have been our family for a long time. Haru-nii himself told you everything, didn't he? At the moment, the first time for the both of us felt haru with what Izu nii-chan said. You, have been our family ever since.”
“Thank you, Lux. After talking to you, I feel better. Even I, no longer feel pain in the head. Thank you,” I said, I returned a small smile when his eyes looked back at me.

I walked past the big tree we had made a place to spend the night. I remember very well, Haruki left a big bag under the tree before we continued our journey. But where is that bag? In fact, this tree looks never touched by humans.
I regained my senses, as the whispers of Lux's voice calling out rang out repeatedly. My steps continue, down the road we once walked. I was stunned, looking at the scene in front of me. The boat that we used to get here has now been crushed into wood debris that slaps on the ground.
“Lux, are you sure? If they're here?”
“Even the dumbest man. Definitely understand the instructions I left,” reply Luz, I glanced back at him who was flying around the debris from the boat.
“And again, pay attention! Isn't there something strange?”
I, overwhelmed with curiosity by what Lux said, tried to step foot closer to her. I stood up, with both eyes looking at what Lux had shown me. “I'll really kill them!” I growled, crouched down by grabbing a piece of board on the ground.
“This debris, too little and only enough to be made into one boat. If what I think is true? That means, they have gone on another boat, then destroyed the other one so that no one can follow them. Damnit!” I grumbled again as I stood up.
“Then, what will we do?”
“Nothing, for now,” I replied as I walked away. I sat leaning against one of the trees while straightening my legs, “we, will wait for Haru-nii and the others to get here. Even if, there is no other way, then I will ask Kou to get us out of here,” my connection while throwing eyes forward.
______________.
We waited a long time for those who did not show up. The scorching heat of the sun before, it has now been reduced by the approaching night. My stomach was a little sore with the occasional gulp of my saliva that almost dried up. I closed my eyes, my body slightly jerked as the big shadow followed the sound of a bang to the ground teasing.
“Kou? Did you call him, Sachi?’
“I haven't .. Calling him,” my exchange that was interrupted by the pain that was whack in my stomach.
“My Lord,” he said, I rubbed his head which he suddenly laid on my thigh.
“What are you doing here, Kou?”
“Come with you, they'll be there soon. I, had seen those who ran before getting here,” he said, his eyes flashing a few times quietly as my hands rubbed his head.
“Take my blood, My Lord!” my head looked up when he suddenly lifted his head away from my thighs.
Kou bit his body to the point of bleeding before he finally sat down in front of me, “I just have a normal stomach ache, and you instantly gave your blood. My dragon, indeed the best,” I said, I grimaced a little before I finally stepped closer to Kou.
“Did you suddenly show up for worrying about me?”
My lips gave a small smile when Kou did not answer my question at all. He laid his head on the ground with both eyes closed. I bow my head, sucking slowly on the blood Kou has drained his skin. The longer I did it, the more it was also .. The pain in my entire body slowly disappeared.
I kept my face away from her wound, before finally resting my body on her, “Kou, I want to rest for a while. Wake me up, if my brother has come,” I said slowly, my hand raised again rubbed his head which he again laid on my thigh.
