Fake Princess
DXVI Chapter
“Ryu!” I raised my voice a little as I called out to him as I sent the horse I was riding running to the right very quickly.
“Do you want me to chase them?”
“Too dangerous Lux, better ... Fly closer to Haruki, if we split up, you will be able to help them to catch up with me,” my ucaap while speeding up the horse I ride.
“I understand,” replied Lux followed by my hair that slightly fluttered back.
“Princess!”
“Prince!”
“Ryu!”
“Sachi!”
I didn't understand their call, my horse kept running with occasional glances towards Ryuzaki who had caught up with the horse beside me. Ryuzaki nodded before his horse made a sharp turn to the right which was immediately followed by my horse behind him. Our horse's footsteps stopped, Ryuzaki's thorny roots growing rapidly around us as a flock of birds flew closer.
“They disappeared,” I said, I tried to look for it when the circumstances around really darkened.
“What are you two doing?!”
I turned back, little by little the light returned in as the spiked roots that grew back shrank until they re-entered the ground. “Sa-chan! Ryu! Explain to me what you are doing!” haruki's orders as the horse he was riding approached.
“We feel something, we intend to chase and catch them. However, they quickly disappeared again,” I replied, Ryuyzaki nodded his head chiming in on my words.
“You should have told us first, don't suddenly move that got everything screwed up!” Haruki raised his voice again by taking his eyes off the two of us, “Izumi, sign them so they can easily find us!” hatch Haruki while staring at Izumi who was riding behind him.
“I just realized, where are Tsubaru and the others?” ask me to Haruki who has moved her head glancing around.
“Because you suddenly moved, the previously calm lion even moved to attack us all! In order to catch up with the two of you, we had to separate ourselves from them,” Izumi chimed in when she had jumped down from the top of her horse.
“Kak, no need to do it. As long as Arata is with them, they will definitely be able to find us,” Ryuzaki said as he had brought his horse closer to Izumi.
“Really? Your ability, truly amazing,” continued Izumi as she looked up her head at Ryuzaki.
“Do you know what that creature is?” I set my eyes on Haruki who had been riding beside me, “that's why, my hunch only refers to some of the creatures I saw in the book. But I, still can't confirm it," I replied to Haruki before I raised my face back up.

I walked up to Ryuzaki when the horse I had previously been riding, I tied it to one of the trees, “are you okay? Don't push yourself too much,” I said as I crouched down by rubbing his back.
“I'm fine, I'm just a little tired of using too much magic endlessly,” he said turning his head towards me.
Izumi stopped her steps, she turned her head to the side when the sound of the footsteps approached, “it looks like they have returned,” said Izumi who kept her eyes fixed in the previous direction.
Izumi bowed, she raised her palm towards Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki grabbed his hand before he stood in front of Izumi. I stood up and walked over to their horses all who were approaching. Tatsuya jumped down from the horse, as did Tsubaru, Arata and Yuki.
“Tsu nii-chan, are you okay?” I asked as he walked by pulling his horse closer.
“I'm fine, Princess,” she replied as her steps stopped before me.
My gaze turned as the sound of objects falling down loudly sounded. Tatsuya and Arata leaned over to grab the lion's carcass that lay beside Tsutomu's horse, they both carried the lion's carcass away, “we killed one of the lions for our dinner later,” Tsubaru yangg suddenly heard again.
“Lion? We're gonna eat the lion tonight?” Tsubaru nodded his head, “they will cook it very well for you, Princess. So don't worry,” he said before he walked past carrying back his horse.

I crawled out of the tent that Tsubaru had previously made. I went back up and patted my hands full of dirt as my feet approached all those who had gathered around the campfire. “Where is Ryu?” ask me while rubbing my eyes when I have sat in front of the campfire.
“He was still asleep in his tent. Eat, grilled lion meat made by the vice captains,” Izumi said as she raised her palm towards Tsutomu and also Tatsuya who was devouring their food not too far from where we were sitting.
I grabbed the meat prick while directing the meat closer to the nose and inhaling in the aroma, “my heart always rumbles if it wants to eat food that I have never eaten, he said,” muttered while opening my mouth biting the meat.
“What do they do?” I moved my head slightly as I stared at Eneas and Yuki who were sitting opposite some objects in front of them.
“The three of them were wrapping back the poison powder like the lump of cloth Yuki used to attack the Knights earlier this afternoon,” Izumi said as she grabbed my wrist and bit off the grilled meat I was holding.
“Nii-chan,” said I looked back at him.
Izumi turned her head towards me with her mouth still chewing, “what did you do to that man? I was very curious about what my brother did to him,”, I said, biting back the grilled meat in my hand.
Izumi long smilingly looked at me without letting out the slightest sound, “are you happy?” she was the one who kept smiling at me.
“About how would Sasithorn respond if I told him of this rare occurrence,” muttered me by throwing a glance at the rising bonfire as Tsubaru threw a few twigs into it.
“Do it, but don't cry .. If you're suddenly proposed by Dante without being able to resist.”
“Just do it,” said I immediately cut his words, “aku, do not want to spend time with something called love. I don't care, will marry anyone .. Or not marry once. I, just want to finish this all, without losing those who support me,” my connection, I raised both hands hugging my bent legs.
“Omong is empty,” Izumi said until I looked back at her, “tell me, while in the Imperial jungle, when you tried to save us who were chained while on an island inhabited only by women, or when you suddenly disappear and it turns out to dive into the ocean .. Tell me, how can you solve everything?”
“Aren't you aware of it, Sachi?” Your desire to protect someone precious to you, make you stronger than anyone, which will make those who know you say, is he really Sachi?” tukas Izumi while raising her palm touched my head, “as brother, I just want to see my sister happy. Whatever your decision is, I will support it. I just hope, whatever the decision is, you will never regret it. So think carefully before deciding something" he continued, who again threw his gaze toward the fire.
