I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 40

Arin did not draw his sword. It was strange to see Arin who expressed like that, his gaze was not like Arin who usually. What was the reason for stabbing Eric?

Zeria approached Arin, along with Lucas who had pointed his sword “Take out your sword” He said as he brandished his sword around Arin's neck.

Arin quickly pulls out his sword, and Zeria immediately catches up with Eric. “Eric! Open your eyes!” Zeria patted Eric on the cheek, and repeatedly shook his body.

“Why did you do it?” Lucas asked without lowering his sword. But when he looked, Arin was no more. “Where is he?!” Looking here and there, but still Arin no longer exists.

“Sister! See the door!” The entrance of the house, it began to disappear. Windows, doors, and other items began to disappear little by little. “Eric wake! We have to go!” Zeria was still trying to wake Eric up, but it was useless.

A very loud sound was heard, his voice was so loud that it made the ears hurt. Everything started to fall apart, and their hearts felt like they were about to explode. “Uhuk!” Zeria felt tremendous pain in her heart, as did Lucas. “What is this? It's hard to breathe” He thought.

“Zeria?” Lucas tried to reach for Zeria, although the pain he felt was tremendous, but he still tried to reach for it.

Amidst the pain they felt, a cold wind suddenly blew. The cold wind that came out of nowhere, made them slightly sidetracked and closed their eyes. The pain they felt suddenly disappeared, and when they opened their eyes, they were in front of the gate of the Claes residence.

“Loh?” Lucas was confused, but he believed he was inside the house.

“What are you three doing? Don't you want to log in?” Ask Arin.

As Lucas and Zeria were surprised, Arin was there. He stabbed Eric, but without guilt he appeared. “What are you doing here?!” Lucas pulled his collar.

“HA? What are you saying?! I should have asked, why have you been quiet since?!” Arin encourages Lucas to let go of his collar.

Zeria approached Arin with anger and stood right in front of him, “Why did you stab Eric?” Zeria asked calmly but her tone was threatening.

“Ha? Me? Stabbing Eric? What the hell are you guys talking about? Look at that, Eric is there” he said as he pointed at Eric who was sitting right in front of the gate.

“Eric!” Zeria ran over to Eric, “You okay?” Zeria tried to check the place where Arin had stabbed her earlier, but there was no scar at all.

Arin was confused, what exactly were they talking about? “You guys why the hell?” Arin approaches them to ask why they are acting so, but when he sees Arin, Eric shows a frightened reaction.

“What are you doing? Do you want to stab me again?” Eric's away from Arin.

“Jeez, what have you guys been saying since? Try to explain, I'm the same scale do not understand” Arin is very confused, why are they so wary of him?

Zeria and Lucas looked at each other and thought about their decision, and Zeria accepted the decision to tell Arin the story. Lucas tells everything that has happened since they entered the house, but strangely Arin is like a confusion with what Lucas tells. “As the story goes, you stabbed Eric with the sword he carried” Lucas said.

“Wait a minute, you said you guys got into that house and it all happened?” Arin was confused by the thing only known to him.

“Ya” Answer.

Hearing the answer from Lucas, Arin gasped. “I don't know what you've been through, but. Since then, we have not even opened the gate of this house, Arin pointed to the gate of the house that is clearly still chained and locked.

“HA?” The three of them looked towards the gate. And sure enough what Arin said, the gate had not been opened at all. “Why?” Zeria asked, but she was sure that they had entered and explored the house, but why were they still outside?

"But I'm pretty sure we're in!" Zeria held the gate and pushed it slightly, but it was true that the gate had not been opened.

Curiosity, confusion, worry, everything is jumbled. No longer know what just happened to them, but clearly, Arin did not experience what they experienced. "Is that an illusion?" Ask Arin.

"That's it, but that's the biggest possibility" Lucas replied watching Arin vigilantly. While Eric is still trying to keep his distance from Arin by hiding behind Zeria.

"Stupid, you're taller than me. Why hide behind me, huh?" Zeria asked by telepathy.

"It's silent, I'm afraid he stabbed me again. It hurt a lot" Eric held Zeria's shoulder and slightly lowered his head.

Arin actually heard whatever Zeria was talking about by telepathy, because they were 'one'. "I won't stab you, it won't do me any good." Arin waved his hand to the right and to the left, a sign that he would never do so.

Lucas investigated the area around, but the house they had explored earlier felt different from the house that was now in front of their eyes. The window of the house was covered with all wood, and the door was chained many times. "Why is everything different?" Ask Lucas.

"Come on, but it seems like that was really just an illusion" Zeria walked up to Lucas and grabbed his hand.

"But since when have we been exposed to that illusion? And also why is Arin illusory?" Eric walked up to Zeria and hid behind her again.

Eric's question made their brains spin again, since when did they get exposed to illusions? Is it still an illusion or reality? "I'm not a human being" replied Arin, "It seems you've been illusory since you first saw this house, but you really only got into that illusion when Eric held the gate"

"Looks like that, we saw the yard of this house was very clean. But now it just looks the truth" The wild grass that is where, the gate that has a lot of plants spread, and the yard of the house is dirty. It was obvious that it was an illusion. "Ha, I could have accused Arin. You were so weird" Zeria said.

"Really! And you stabbed me for no reason!" Eric pointed at Arin while angry.

"Geez, well I'm sorry for what I've done to you" Arin lowered her head even though it wasn't her fault.

And Eric was only satisfied that Arin had apologized to him, "Baby" Zeria thought.

"True, he's a kid. This time I'm going to give you a code that only you and I know, so you can tell if it's an illusion or reality." Arin said by telepathy.

Zeria nodded, and Lucas and Eric began to look for a way to open the gate. "The code, if I say 'Eric that' then you have to answer 'very stupid' okay?" Zeria himself was actually very satisfied with the code he made, even he felt proud.

"You're a kid too" Zeria was very happy to code it, but it's the right code.

After agreeing to it, they turn to Eric and Lucas who are still trying to figure out how to open the gate. They had tried to cut the chain with the sword, but were unsuccessful because of the ice covering it. "We just burn everything" Lucas said, smiling at his face, it was very noticeable that he was lazy to find a way.

"All right, but not everything. Just fly" replied Zeria as she pulled up Lucas's sleeve.

"Well, ehehehe" Her smile was creepy, and again she laughed instead. The magical flame of the imperial family, was a fire that could burn anything. And in a matter of seconds, the gate melted.

"After seeing this, I understood one thing. Never make Lucas angry or upset" thought Arin and Eric together.

"really"
