Fake Princess
Ccxlvi Chapter
"Is that true?" Revealing my steps, I turned my body to look at Tsubaru who was following.
"What's up, Princess?" He returned my gaze.
"What Daisuke said was true? What if so many people wanted to kidnap me? But, isn't..." I stopped the words for a moment.
"You used to say, if my secret was kept very well. I mean, you used to say that only the nobles knew all about me," I looked back at him.
"True, everything the Captain said is true."
"Before we had a chance to hold her back, news of the Princess' cleverness spread. Your Majesty, even added the number of Knights guarding the border. All news is covered from the Princess, because Her Majesty is alone... Don't want the Princess to worry about him" he told me.
"Is that so? There was so much I didn't know all this time," I said, turning my body around and leaving him.
My chest, somehow feels claustrophobic to hear it.
I should be grateful, right? That means they really care about me. But, I feel disappointed... When they always and always keep the truth from me.
Aahh so greedy are you Sachi.

"Sa-chan, are you inside?" Haruki's slow voice was accompanied by a knock on the door which also sounded slow.
I gave both my eyes a few flashes accompanied by drowsiness that still enveloped. The sound of that knock disturbed my sleep... I really want to go back to sleep.
I sat up, I put my palms together, rubbed my face, and occasionally my fingers moved down the corner of my eyes. My palms moved slowly scratching the back of my neck as the knock on the door rang out again.
A strong sigh came out from inside my lips, and I put my body up and left the bed. My feet moved closer to the door, very slowly the door opened...
"What is nii-chan?" I looked at him walking in when the door opened.
"Have you heard from your spies? I mean, it's been almost a week since Tsubaru and the others came," I said following her steps sitting on the chair in front of my dresser.
"You mean this" he said, moving his palms into the clothes he was wearing.
"Letter?" Tukasku grabbed the paper roll he pointed at me.
I gulped my fingers open the small paper scroll earlier, the letter code Haruki created really stuck me for a while. Even I, admit the intelligence that he has...
"Wind is calm, the storm is back to dampen," I said, looking back at Haruki as I read the paper.
"Win' it, our Kingdom isn't it? Does this mean..."
"You're right. What say?"
"That's Izumi, I feel it... Just open the door," along with Lux's voice, my head turned to look at her who was still rolling on the pillow with her eyes closed again.
"I'll open it," I said looking back at Haruki, I stood up and walked away.
"Who?" I said quietly, the atmosphere around was silent for a moment.
"It's me, Izumi," said a voice from behind the door that sounded soft.
My right hand moved to open the door, Izumi walked in as the door moved slightly open. I closed the door again as I turned back to follow in his footsteps.
"Did something happen?" His voice moved his body sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You read the message I left you?" Revealing Haruki looking at her, Izumi nodded several times returning her gaze.
"Sa-chan, give the paper roll to her," Haruki continued to turn her gaze to look at me, spread my palm that was still holding the paper roll towards Izumi as I gave my body a seat beside her.
Long Izumi stared at the paper scroll, directed the scroll back to Haruki while lifting his head to look at Haruki. For a long time we were silent and not even a word came out of their lips...
"So what are we going to do?" Izumi opened the conversation, moving her body lying on the bed with both arms touching the back of her head.
"I don't care if we spend a little longer here. It's just, I don't want to waste any more time. We've spent six years helping Dante first" Haruki said.
"But we did not waste time there, we made them strong as they are now, nothing more and nothing more to help our Kingdom..."
"So, how? What are we gonna do?" Izumi went back to Haruki.
"Dad sent the three of them here completely outside of what I thought. I asked for help, because I wanted us to be able to get out of here and continue the journey, instead of hindering our journey" Haruki said massaging his head slowly.
"You want me to use Kou to run away from here?" My body stared at them one by one.
"Daisuke will definitely find out right away," Haruki said returning my gaze.
"Every time you call Kou, the air around will instantly freeze. Because we're a little used to it, so we're not too affected. But for those who have never been or may be just the first or second meeting..."
"They would instantly shiver by the air around Kou. Do you remember Egil last night?" He said back to me.
"Then, what should we do?" Tukasku stared back at him.
"You are so noisy, I just want to try to sleep... Unable to close my eyes" said Lux, I thrust my head at her who had flown over Izumi's belly.
"You want to run away, don't you?" Reveal Lux back, moved both his hands rubbing his head and face.
"If that's what you want, leave it all to me. I will help you, get out of this castle very easily" he continued with his mouth that evaporated several times behind his palm.
