Fake Princess
CccxIII Chapter
"You've been a long time!" Shouted Niel from on top of his dark horse, the sooner I set foot close to my white horse.
"I also have to get ready first," I said moving both legs up the horse as I turned my gaze to Daisuke and also Aeneas who stood far away looking at me.
I asked them to stay in the castle. Order them to search for any information or rumors spread by those inside the castle. I really don't want to lose that little bit of information.
"Dad, can I come with you?" egil's voice rang out, standing next to the horse that Niel was riding with both hands clasping Niel's right palm.
"No, I won't let you come. You'll stay here with Tem. Listen to what I'm saying, do you understand?!" niel looked at Egil.
Egil released his hand at Niel, Egil turned away to walk towards Tem who had been standing before the door of the Castle. Let my eyes look back straight ahead as I join my horse in following the footsteps of Niel's horse that had walked ahead.

"Niel!" I said, I give my horse to walk side by side with his horse.
"What's wrong?" answer without looking at it.
"What did you mean this morning?"
"What are you?" call him again.
"You're planning something with Egil, aren't you? I knew it," he said back to me.
"Whatchu mean? I don't understand what you're saying," I said, but it seemed like a clear breath was being taken by him.
"I know my own Son, the dungeon? I don't know where he got the news, but... You did something in vain, there was nothing in that prison."
"You're hiding something from him, aren't you?"
"I'm just keeping him away from a useless woman."
"Don't say..."
"You're right, I kept him away from his mother. I would never allow him to meet that useless woman" he said, cutting off my words.
"How come? You say it so easily, how can you do it? She gave birth to Egil, without him... Do you think Egil will be born?" revealed me returning his gaze.
"Mother? What kind of mother strangles her own child right after she gives birth to it. Can we not talk about it? Just remembering her face makes me sick," she took her eyes off me.
Niel stopped the footsteps of his horse in front of one of the men. He moved down from the horse he was riding with the man in front of him grabbing and grasping the reins that bound his horse.
When I put my horse to a stop beside his horse, a man walked over with his palm pointed at me. I held my hand that was still holding the bridle to the man as I put the bridle I held onto him.
I moved down from my horse, and I set my foot again, and walked up to Niel, who was standing in front of the door of the building that had opened. I spread my legs following the footsteps of Niel who had first walked into the building.
A man standing in front of the building led us both down the room and into a hallway with several tens of steps in the way. Torches lit up along the way, helping the three of us walk down the stairs made of earth...
The heartbreaking screams deafened me, the clearer and clearer it became when the last steps we passed ended. The iron bars that filled the hall emitted a foul smell that pierced my nose.
The contents of my stomach were knocked to be ejected when my gaze accidentally fell on the pile of dirt that filled a prison cell, the pair of eyes that were inside looked sharply at us who were walking in front of him.
My body retreated backward involuntarily, my head instantly dizzy as I felt a hard object hit the back of my head. I felt the pain as my hair got pulled back...
Niel took a few steps forward, still staring at his left arm that was moving past my head. The cry of asking to be released again resounded echoing in the ears.
A sword out from the other side of Niel's waist, it moved quickly over my head. Again there was a deafening scream, which finally muffled until inaudible followed by the sound of falling objects that sounded so loud. I took a few steps forward and turned my body around to see what was really going on.
A large man was lying on his back in the prison cell, and it appeared that the sword that had been held by Niel had been stuck in the forehead of the man lying down. I still looked at the body of the man who was convulsing without a sound...
The sound of footsteps away made my eyes diverted, I helped my body walk in the footsteps of Niel who again walked down the prison hallway.
The sound of iron being hit repeatedly filled the room, I gave my eyes a glance towards the right and also the left. All of them, I mean prisoners... Unceasingly hit even kicked the iron bars that locked them away.
"Free me God damn it!"
"Everyone here is a criminal, you should have arrested them too!"
"Damn it! Fucking cowardly nobleman! Free me!"
Such were the cries that were always heard along the passageway. Niel was still silently staring straight ahead, not the slightest bit of his eyes were distracted by the cries around.
"We're going to get to the room where the two prisoners were being held, Your Majesty," a male voice came from behind me.
"Well, lead us both there! And you, walk a little closer to me," she turned her eyes to look at me.
