Fake Princess
Dc Chapter
“Ta-but,” my gaze was a little flurry by looking back at the little flower petals I had in my hand.
“What are you curious about? Where do I know that?”
I nodded my head as Haruki re-opened his eyes looking at me, “do you remember what I said in Ardenis?” The head again nodded slowly answering his words.
“I've been suspicious ever since, then when I got word if she disappeared .. I immediately remembered, with a festival often done to commemorate the King's birthday. While here, I tried to make sure everything, of course by using all the information I got from Fabian.”
“I saw and heard all your talk in the forest. I don't beat you, Sa-chan .. I'm just, thank you for making everything so much clearer-”
“What are you guys talking about?”
My glance turned towards Izumi who cut Haruki's words, “you don't know what we're talking about, nii-chan?”
“Hutan? Which forest do you mean?”
“Didn't you be with Haru-nii when we tried to follow him first?”
“I didn't find it at the time. We did meet, but we met in front of the inn, she and also Fabian,” Izumi replied as she pointed towards Haruki, “so, what are you guys talking about?” he looked at us in turn.
“I'll explain it later, Izumi,” timpal Haruki who made Izumi's glance switch to him.
“I leave the flower petals to you, give them to him .. So that he can make his own choice. I, will never force him,” Haruki said, he threw away his gaze as my head lifted looking at him.
“I, will keep it well for later handed to him,” I said, my head lowered with one hand reached into the bag I was carrying.
I took out a small piece of cloth in the bag, put the petals on the cloth before putting them back in the bag. “It looks like we've arrived, you guys understand what to do, right?” I nodded my head, followed by Izumi and Eneas who did the same.
Haruki went down, when the door of the train opened from the outside, followed by Aeneas, then Izumi and Izumi. We stood up, unmoved at a middle-aged couple wearing a crown with a man next to the middle-aged woman. “Benison Joselito, King of the Robson Kingdom. Are you right, Prince Takaoka Haruki?”
Haruki stepped a little forward before he finally lowered his gaze, “that's right, Prince Takaoka Haruki of the Sora Kingdom, saluting you, Father,” Haruki said while keeping his gaze down.
“Bless your head!”
Haruki did as the King commanded, “aku, never heard from my daughter Luana again since she went to visit the Empire.”
“I'm sorry for all my short-sightedness, Father-in-Law. But ever since I met him in the Empire, I've been in love with him. Because of me, it was hard to part with her .. I, threatened her to go with me.”
“Supply once! He still has family-”
“The family sent him alone to go to the Empire, while there was still his twin sister and also his one-year-old sister under him, like that, huh?” Both of the King's eyes widened as Haruki spoke them.
“I, won't bother about it now, because she has calmed down after giving birth to our child. I came, just because I wanted to establish cooperation between the Kingdoms. I, did not come here to establish family relations, King Benison Joselito,” continued Haruki returned his gaze.
“I don't know, if Robson Kingdom is very bad at welcoming guests .. I don't know what, our Father will do for all this humiliation. At least, give us a room with comfortable chairs, for us to talk about all this,” Haruki said back, my eyes did not blink looking at the King who was looking at Haruki with his face red.

I sat down, in one of the chairs filled with lots of food and drinks. The king, asked us to accept the banquet they gave, therefore now we are all here. I glanced at Haruki who was sitting by sipping the cup in his hand .. He was still silent, even though the cup in his hand he had placed it back on the table with his saucer.
“So, what do you want to discuss with us?”
The King's words that opened the conversation, made me turn towards him. I turned my eyes towards Prince Vartan, Duke, and also Prince Jaren, the oldest boy in their family. “We, would like to invite you to join us against the Empire,” Haruki said, with a moment of silence throughout the room.
“This world will be destroyed, if the Emperor is not destroyed. The Emperor keeps a flower of life for himself, when it is destroyed .. The world, too, will be destroyed along with the flower.”
“That sounded,” my glance turned towards Jaren who covered her mouth with a palm, trying to hold back the laughter she let out.
“That sounds absurd, doesn't it?” I said slowly until the sight of the four of them turned to me.
“What are you doing?!”
“What I do?” tukasku returned the gaze of Vartan who had departed from his chair, “aku only proved, something that was considered unreasonable, true,” my smiling connection looked at him.
I grabbed the handkerchief that was also on the table, dipped the handkerchief earlier into the glass, then rubbed it on the wound that was in my palm. The king and the others, silent as I pointed the palm of my hand towards them, “do you still not believe my brother?” tukasku who sat back by grabbing the glass near Izumi and drinking the water in it.
“You don't want to join, it doesn't matter .. Because the Kingdom that supports us, is more than enough. The treasures and thrones that you have today, will be nothing more when that day comes. Like that, terrible flower,” connect me by putting the glass in hand on the table.

“I'm so tired,” I said by lying sideways on the bed.
“At least, take off your shoes first!”
I sat up moving my hands, opening the shoes I was wearing like Izumi had ordered. “Why? Why are you showing that to my sister? Don't you know how dangerous he is?” vartan's words made me look at him.
“And why, you let him do such a dangerous thing?”
“What are you, so interested in him?” The glance of my eyes turned to Izumi who was walking towards him.
“If your family can easily accept what we say, she won't do it,” said Haruki, who was taking some things out of the bag with Eneas in front of her.
“Because of that .. My sister is mingling-”
“If what you say is true, then protect me from it,” I cut his words, “if you really want him not to hurt me, then protect me from him. You're the Crown Prince, aren't you? I did, because I entrusted my life to you, did you not catch the point of all that?”
My eyes didn't blink when he looked at me for a long time, “I understand, just make sure you don't approach him here,” he said, before he finally walked out leaving us in the room.
“Agruesome once.”
I glanced at Izumi still without a sound, “what I mean is you,” he said once again reply to my glance.
“You toyed with it so easily-”
“I, just give him what he needs,” answered me while returning to lay down, “he needs a confession from someone, therefore I gave it. Although a Crown Prince but he lives in the shadow of his brother it looks sad for me, I, and of course it is like a thank you because he will be a good pawn for us to use in the future.”
“It will be a double-edged sword as he gets more interested in you, whereas you alone-”
“I, not interested in a man who can't even apologize for the mistake he made. I dropped my heart on Zeki, not just because he'd known me longer than any other man except you. But I like it, when he apologizes and admits his mistake, it makes me a little appreciated.”
“She, will not leave me just like that, when I get tangled up in a problem. Responsibility, nii-chan! I, suddenly eager to meet him,” connect me while closing my eyes slowly.
“Just use Kou, if you really want to see him.”
“But I want him to pick me up, not me to come see him.”
“What are you little boy!” I opened my eyes again when I felt something hit my head, I grabbed a pillow over my head before turning to look at Izumi, “what were his hands cut off until a single letter he had not sent? Nii-chan, we're not in the woods anymore, are we? I want ten grilled fish from ten different fish, which are burned directly by you.”
“Do you think I'm your servant?!” Izumi snapped, my eyes closed again as she threw the pillow that was also on the bed to my face.
“And for you, Haru-nii,” I said with a look back at him.
“I want ten gem rings of different colors that fit perfectly on my ten fingers, just think of it as a thank you for all my services so far,”, Haruki was still silent noiselessly returning my gaze.
“What services do you mean that,” I groan in pain as Izumi speaks with a strong grasp of my ears.
“I understand, just give it the size of your ten fingers, I .. Will order someone to make it,” Haruki said, I was stunned by returning his gaze.
