Fake Princess
Dcvi Chapter
“Be careful with your footsteps!” zeki said as she walked in front tightly clasping my hand.
His grip tightened, as we both set foot on the ground up in the forest we were passing through. “Do you still remember where it is?” zeki asked as we paused for a moment.
My head is moving around, “ to the left. He lives in a hut with an old woman with him,” I said, pointing in the direction I intended.
I followed Zeki who held my hand, our footsteps continued until finally stopping at a hut that I had once been to. “Amanda! Are you inside?” I repeatedly knocked on the door of the hut.
“Amanda?” I called out his name again, with the knocking of my hand at the door that was growing more and more than before.
“The door is unlocked,” said Zeki who made me turn to him.
Zeki again pushed the door back until it opened completely, “wait here! I'll check it in,” he said, he let go of his hand before waltzing into the hut.
I stood for quite a while in front of the door, waiting for him by throwing a glance around. “No one inside,” Zeki's voice sounded, again making my eyes diverted to him.
“Are you sure?” Zeki nodded his head, answering my question.
“How about the items inside?”
“I didn't check it too much. But inside looks neat, at least we can make sure .. No crime they experienced,” said Zeki, he walked past me by closing the door.
“What if we wait for them? Maybe they're away.”
“Your face is pale, you only eat fruits, it was just a moment ago. Come home with me!” his command by moving his feet back closer, and,
I tried to glance towards his back, as a strong wind suddenly blew. “Even Kou has come,” timpal Zeki, when Kou stepped his foot closer to the hut we came to.
“But, how do I promise Haru-nii?”
“He will understand, spy him a lot .. Haruki must have easily found him, if he wanted to. After all, if a man does not struggle, he will not know what it feels like to appreciate his own partner-”
“Now you're talking about me in front of my own sister?”
The glances of my eyes turned towards Haruki's audible voice, I stared at the three of them who were walking past Kou then stopped their steps in front of the hut. “How are you, Izumi? It's not too deep, is it?”
“You did intend to kill me earlier, didn't you?” sahut Izumi while moving his body sat on the terrace against us.
“It was your fault for blocking me.”
“If you kill him, it will trigger a great war. King Benison, befriended many Kingdoms. You, almost ruined our hard work-”
“Work hard at the expense of your sister? Nonsense about it, Haruki nii-san,” chimpanzee Zeki, I clasped his hand to stop to provoke the emotions of my brothers.
“A boy, just walk in into your sister's room .. And you guys didn't do anything to her. Are you guys really looking after him? Or it's just, big shit you guys say-”
“Close your mouth!” My glance quickly turned towards Izumi who was standing up, “do you know about guarding her? Though you just married her, even though your marriage can still be counted days .. Know what you are about looking after her-”
Izumi stopped her footsteps right in front of us as Haruki ordered her. “Bring Sachi home with you to Yadgar, Zeki! And make sure, you won't be long replying to all the letters I sent.”
“But nii-chan-”
“Sachi,” Haruki said back which made my lips clenched, “news of your pregnancy, making them unable to think calmly. Everyone, will try to protect you in their own way..Making everyone gather in one place for a longer time than this, will probably create a bloodbath.”
“So go home with Zeki, at least it will give everyone a chance to calm down.”
“Then what about you guys?” my question is to cut Haruki's words.
“I told you, didn't I? I will visit the world of the Elves, awaiting the birth of my Son. Both Izumi, Eneas, and Lux. After that, maybe we'll go back to Sora. And I intend, will marry Izumi during there-”
“What did you say?!” timpal Izumi who quickly cut off Haruki's speech.
“What are you waiting for? If it's Eneas and Ryu, maybe I'll understand them. But you, your partner already exists. Even your little sister who doesn't understand boys, is now going to be a mother!” haruki's snapping that kept us from saying a word including Izumi.
“Don't just because Sasithorn is silent, then you can do anything to him. I told you, didn't I? If you don't intend to marry her any time soon, I'll marry her to another man!”
I glanced at Izumi who was increasingly not struggling to hear Haruki's words, “I will not invite a man who is afraid to propose to his partner in the war. No matter how strong your body is, if your heart is too cowardly to build a family. Then scram! I, do not want someone like that to stand beside me when the war comes, even though he is my brother.”
“I understand, Goddamn it! I'll send him a letter as well as Dad to prepare everything.”
Haruki smiled with a glance towards Izumi who walked past him, “you guys, just go back to Yadgar. All business here, let me handle it-”
“Can't they forgive Zeki's conversation?”
“Why are you asking?” reply Haruki asked, “The prince should apologize to you. After all, what Zeki said was true. Human like him, does not deserve to be Crown Prince-”
“From the beginning I wanted to enter the Palace, because I was interested in inviting the First Prince to join the fight with us. He was demoted from his throne as Crown Prince, simply because his body was weak, apart from that.
“So?”
Haruki returned a smile by crossing his arms, “so I secretly instigated him to join us. Thanks to you, Zeki .. Thanks to you, we were able to draw Vartan's humiliating attitude before the King. Not in vain, I asked you to join this morning-”
“You!”
“Zeki!” tukasku who quickly embraced his arm so that his steps that were about to approach Haruki stopped.
“What about Alana? Didn't the first prince support her? I don't like that woman!”
“He's a Snake, who likes to seek sympathy for those he thinks are profitable. Plans to take advantage of someone by fishing it first with kindness, we have done it often, right?”
“The first prince did it to get all the information he could match from the woman. Therefore, I need the cunning of someone with a destiny that does not support him, like the first Prince .. Become one of the troops that you will lead in war, Sa-chan, become one of the troops that you will lead in war,” continued Haruki while turning her lips to look at me.
