Fake Princess
DLXXXIV Chapter
I got down from the boat with a bag of food on my shoulder.
Both of my legs followed Eneas who also did the same as I did. We stopped at one of the trees in the forest not too far from the river, then I placed the big bag I was carrying leaning against the tree with my eyes falling towards Haruki, Izumi, and also Fabian who walked by holding one man on their back.
I was still standing, looking at those who were slowly laying down those three unconscious foolish men on the grassy ground that was all around us. I crossed both arms with a glance towards the twin sister Luana who had leaned herself against one of the trees not too far away from us. “Lux, what do you think of this place?” I muttered softly as I turned my back on them all.
“Just like the forest in general, we might be able to know more clearly if go deeper,” reply Lux slowly beside my ear.
I raised my head, staring at the leaves on the tree that were slightly swaying in the wind. “How are they doing, nii-chan?” ask me without looking back.
“I have closed the wound on his shoulder, chances are they will wake up tomorrow morning or maybe sooner,” said Izumi's voice heard from behind.
“How about Haru-nii, are we going to rest here? Or continue the journey?”
“Sure, continue the journey. Fabian and that woman, can take care of all three of them. After all, we're not going to be caregivers.”
“We will die, if you leave us!” I took a strong bite on my lips as the strong sobs of the woman sounded.
“By going to the forest, you already know what the risks are, right?!” I snapped while turning to look at him.
“No one invites you, you yourself decide to join .. So own risk, even if you die? That's your risk,” my connection, he's down when I squinted at him.
“Sachi!” call Izumi who makes me glance at her. Izumi turned to look at me, “follow me!” he continued while walking past me.
I turned around following Izumi's footsteps, she walked carrying me a little far away from where it was before. “What happened to you?” ask him while stopping his steps by leaning against one of the trees.
“Nothing happened to me. I'm just upset to see their stupidity bothering us,” said I, who also stopped the steps while throwing a gaze from Izumi's view.
“You, not like this when we were in the Empire forest.”
“This and that, are two different things. Although Luana was both annoying before, but I can still understand her situation. Because just as I did not know that he would be trapped by the Emperor into his forest, he must be as afraid of something he did not know.”
“But now it's different, they know we're going to a dangerous forest. If they knew, they should have prepared themselves. I'm so upset, because their stupid attitude is troubling my brothers!” connect me while lunging strongly at the tree beside me.
“That, will not be good for our Kingdom, Sa-chan.”
“Haru-nii,” I said as I turned to look at him who was approaching.
“What does nii-chan mean?”
“If someone I meant to report what happened to the King, it wouldn't be good. That is why I helped them not because I wanted to help them .. I did it, just to maintain the relationship between the Kingdoms. However, I don't want them to take us lightly, therefore I let them for a moment to teach them a lesson.”
“Besabarlah. But if they upset you so much. I will not forbid you to kill one by one of them. Because just like you, I was very upset with all the stupidity they did.”
“Nii-chan, even if they have similar faces, don't be tempted once. Not once, just not once,” I said as I walked past Haruki.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Sa-chan, explain everything to your sister!” continued Haruki who shouted back as I stepped away from the two of them.
My steps came back to a standstill, I clicked my tongue while taking a look at the five of them before I walked over and sat down beside Aeneas. “Eneas, do you have a poison that can kill someone slowly? I mean, the new poison will work a few weeks after it's given?”
I was bowed by rubbing my head when a powerful punch suddenly hit my head. “Do not do something petty like that,” said Izumi's audible voice.
My head was raised, looking at her who had somehow stood beside me while one of her hands was raised forward. “Since when did you become this naive, nii-chan? Are you interested in him, because he indirectly reminds you of Sasithorn's brother?”
“My ears,” my moans as Izumi tightens my ears.
“Better, you prepare food so that your mind is calm. I'm gonna make a tent for us to stay in tonight. Haruki himself has made a torch that we will wear just in case at night. Did you hear your brother's words?”
“Just order one of them to cook. My mind is not calm now, I don't know what poison I will put in the food I make later.”
“Sick,” I again moaned when the jewels Izumi did are getting stronger than before.
“What do you think, Princess seems to be able to cook?”
“I'm a Princess, not a Queen. My status is even higher than her, why should I make food for them? I'm not a waitress-”
“Alright,” said Izumi let go of her jewels in my ears, “Your Majesty the Queen, salute to you. Can a lowly Prince like me get the dinner you made?”
I clicked my tongue and went past it, bowing in front of me, “Eneas, make me fire! Make a big one, until a human can get into it,” my grumbling as I step closer to the big bag and crouch down by reaching into the bag.
I went back up with two large bowls of brass that I took from the bag, I walked and dropped the two bowls in front of Fabian and the woman, “get me some water on the river! You still remember the path we walked before, don't you? Or do I have to hit your head to remember?”
“Omong is empty with the status of Nobles that you have, while in the Forest .. I am the one who rules over your lives. So, get me some water, or just eat the grass beside you,” connect me while turning around and walking away from them both.
