Fake Princess
ClXXXII Chapter
"Are you sure you want to ride a horse alone?" izumi said, I looked at her who had been riding her horse next to mine.
"Get it!" also heard the voice of Zeki, I turned my gaze to him who had also ridden his horse beside me.
"I'm ba..."
"Well and sit behind me, do I have to repeat my words?" he said it again cut my word.
"Give me your horse, I'll have a team bring it for you" Izumi continued, turning my gaze back to her who pointed her palm at me.
"I understand," I said, join the horse harness that was in my hand to him.
Turning my steps towards Zeki, my palm clasped his palm which he pointed at me while I thrust my body up onto his horse...
"Get your body close to me again, do you want to fall upside down from the horse?" he said, I turned my gaze to look at him which also moved his head to look back.
"But the wound on your back?"
"God... Takaoka Sachi, don't you know how hot the air is in this Kingdom, don't make my head come hot because of you" she told me.
I thrust my palm against his shoulder while trying to shift me closer to him, and then I put my hand back around his waist... I put my head against his shoulder, the horse we were riding moved slowly.
"Didn't you want to say a word?"
"Is that important?" I said ask him back.
"You're silent like that makes me feel uneasy."
"I'm just acting like a normal human being."
"Sorry, you're angry because you're worried about us, aren't you?"
"I'm fine" I said in response to her words.
"Get a tight grip" he said, my body jerked softly as I felt the horse we were riding moving faster than before.
"Where do you want to take my sister, Zeki?!" Izumi shouted, looking back at those who looked further away from us.
"Where do you want to take me?" I said, back out of sight, staring back at his neck.
"You're silent like that worries me, I'll take you to a place I saw you accidentally on the way here before" he said in response.
"Look over there!"
"I can't see anything, you cover my eyes," I said, pushing my head to the right and to the left trying to see what he meant.
"Look over there!" he said again, Zeki tilted his body slightly while embracing my body under his right arm.
I stared at a long river a little far ahead of us, several tens of boats lined up there... Some of them even delivered some food to other boats.
"What's that?" I said, I looked up at him.
"Do you want to go there? You know, don't you? We've never spent a normal amount of time as a couple all this time" she told me.
"What do you mean it's a date?"
"Dating? Is that a date?"
"No, it's nothing. Take me there Darling," said a smiling look at him.
I lifted my body back to sit behind him, Zeki again moved his horse closer to the river earlier. The horse we were riding, I let go of my arms around his waist as I stared at him who was moving his legs down the horse.
Zeki pointed his hands towards me, join me in touching his shoulders while I put my feet down the horse we rode before...
A man walked towards us, the man was looking at Zeki who was reciprocated by a nod of his head. Down the man grabbed the bridle that tied the horse while the horse followed him...
My footsteps moved along following the slow pull he made, putting my eyes on the grip he was holding on me. Returning my gaze forward, our footsteps stopped on a boat carried by an old grandfather on the riverbank...
Zeki stepped up his legs on the boat, followed my feet along with him while I still felt the grip of his hand that was reluctant to be separated from me.
Sitting on the edge of the small boat, I turned towards Zeki who was also sitting next to me. I turned my gaze to the old Grandfather who was in front of us, the bamboo in his hand moved slowly accompanied by the moving of the boat we were riding.
"What do you want?" he said, again I looked at him.
"I'm hungry."
"Sorry, can you take us to the boat that sells food?" said Zeki, diverted his gaze towards the old man earlier.
The boat we boarded stopped for a moment, I felt the boat turn slowly and then move back as usual. My eyes were diverted to a slightly large boat with a variety of colorful foods arranged on it...
"What do you want to eat?"
"I want that round, green thing covered in white" I told him.
Zeki moved closer to the merchant, grabbing several pieces of money from the bag he took out of the clothes he wore. He gave the piece of money to the merchant, while his hand carried a package of leaves containing food from the merchant...
"Eat," he said, sitting next to me as he directed a leaf packet containing five round objects earlier.
Let my fingers flank the green round food, I took a little white stuff that covered the food as I put it in my mouth...
"It's a coconut" I said looking at Zeki, as I told her the green round food was getting closer to my mouth...
"Is this sugar? It's like melting in my mouth. Try it!" I said, leave the half green round food in my hand to Zeki.
Zeki moved his mouth biting the food in my hand earlier, I stared at him who was chewing slowly... Sometimes I look at him who nods as if enjoying it.
I looked into Zeki's eyes, which glanced several times to the left of his body as I moved my eyes to follow his glance. Looks like old Grandpa had several times sipped his own saliva for a long time he stared at the leaves containing food in Zeki's hands.
"Grandfather, do you want to try that too?" I said looking at him, softly jerked his body back at us.
