Fake Princess
DVI Chapter
“Because I have found out what happened, I will meet Ryu now,” said Izumi who made me turn to look at him.
Izumi stepped down from the bed, I was still looking at her who had stepped her foot toward the door and opened the door. “How about you?” My face turned back to Haruki who was still sitting leaning against the window looking at me.
“I will apologize to him, later,” I said as I stood up from the bed I was sitting on.
“Nii-chan, thank you. You are, truly the best Brother,” I said as I raised my thumb towards him.
“I know, take a break and clean yourself up before dinner,” he said which I replied with a nod of the head.

I put the comb back on the dressing table when the sound of knocking on the door was accompanied by the sound of Tsubaru calling heard from outside. I took my breath back before I got up and walked over to the door. “What have they all gathered?” I asked Tsubaru as I walked out of the room.
“They-” says Tsubaru stalled. I turned back as the sound of footsteps moved closer, “nii-chan, you also just came out?” ask Izumi who walked over with Tsutomu walking behind her.
“I just woke up before Tsutomu came to pick me up,” he said who stopped his steps for a moment by turning to me who was standing next to him.
We both walked hand in hand down the stairs, “how did it go?” ask me without looking at Izumi one bit.
“She's fine,” Izumi said, long she was silent before a sigh came out of her lips, “she repeatedly apologized to me. I, feel completely wrong to respond to him,” continued Izumi again continued his words.
I raised my face, looking at Izumi who was still down. I held up one of my hands rubbed his back until he turned his head towards me, “I'm fine,” he said smiling before throwing his eyes back away from me.
Izumi slightly accelerated her steps walking in front of me, I also followed her sitting next to the chair she was sitting on. I raised my gaze, looking at Tatsuya, Arata and Yuki who had been standing behind Haruki, Ryuzaki and also Eneas.
“Princess, is there anything the Princess wants?”
I raised my face slightly back, towards Tsubaru who was standing behind me, “thank you Tsubaru, I really want to eat the Ikayaki this time,”.
I turned around by grabbing a grilled octopus pierced by a bamboo, long I stared at the octopus' body which was full of soy sauce. “How does it feel?” I turned to look at Izumi who was back in voice.
I nodded my head as I continued to chew,” Do you want to taste it, nii-chan?” I asked as I grabbed another Ikayaki who was on the plate in front of me to Izumi.
“Thank you,” timpal Izumi as she grabbed the Ikayaki from my hand and bit her.
“Sorry, for slapping you this afternoon. I want to,” my words stopped, I slightly throw away my gaze by grasping tightly both hands, “I want, we really live a new life. Forget all the things that would have hurt. Both of our sisters are amazing, Eneas and Lux are just as awesome. Father, and those who supported Sora, were amazing. So, don't bear it all alone,” connect me back to him.
Ryuzaki directed his gaze glancing around, his two hands again raised rubbing his two eyes as he lowered his head. “Do you want to try this, Ryu?” Ryuzaki raised his face again as Izumi's voice again sounded.
“Or, does Ryu nii-san want to try this Dango? Or Mochi?” Aeneas could be heard chiming in Izumi's words followed by one hand raising a plate full of Mochi.
“Do you want fruit? I can share my fruit if you want,” continued Lux who was still chewing on a piece of Wine that she hugged.
I smiled as Ryuzaki glanced at me, he again lowered his face with a small smile he made, “Izumi, nii-san .. I, want to taste it, I want to taste it,” Ryuzaki said as he pointed towards Ikayaki who was in Izumi's hands.

I sat leaning on the bed while looking at Tsubaru who was still busy tidying up the folds of fabric that were in front of her. “What do Princess want to wear for tomorrow? We are leaving very early in the morning, so I will prepare for it right now,” he said, turning to me.
I moved a little and crawled a little forward before I sat back in bed staring at him, “Tsu nii-chan, you look so excited,”.
Tsubaru again lowered his gaze with both hands moving to insert a fold of cloth into the bag beside him, “ini, the first time I take care of all your needs while traveling after a few years, Princess. Of course, serving you, Princess, is very happy for myself,” he turned his head and smiled before returning down to fold some of the cloth he stacked up in front of him.
“Tsu nii-chan, what did nii-chan feel, when I ... Suddenly reappeared before you in a state of life last time?" I said as I looked at him who had stopped the movement of his hand when I said that.
“To be honest Princess, I .. Have pleaded with Her Majesty to execute me. If the Princess loses her life, then it is my duty to follow her everywhere. Because as long as I live, my mind will not be free of the little Princess I raised.”
Tsubaru stopped his words, he took a deep breath before turning back towards me, “stay with me, Tsubaru. You are forbidden to go anywhere without my permission .. Does the Princess remember those words?” tsubaru said with a smile back at me.
“My promise to you, Princess. Stronger than the blood oath I made to His Majesty to take care of you. However, His Majesty rejected my request. She said, My daughter Sachi .. Would hate me so much, if I executed you who was like her own brother. Though Tsubaru, you are like my own Son, how is it possible ... I executed my own Son.”
Tsubaru's words again came to a halt, he took another deep breath before exhaling, “Sora, already like my own home. The good of your family, I will never forget. I can learn so many things, I can read so many letters from other Kingdoms... I can be Tsubaru now, all just for the good of your family.”
“Tsu nii-chan, did you know Tsu nii-chan, if I used to always dream of marrying you."
Tsubaru's movements again stopped before he stared at me for a long time, "like the shadow of the moon falling on the surface of the water. At first glance it looks beautiful when looking at them together, although in fact .. They are limited by a very long distance. So, don't joke by saying such words again, Princess. I felt it was inappropriate to get those words from you,” he said, moving his hands back one by one, putting a pile of cloth into the bag.
