You Are My Princess The One I Need to Liberate

“Wake up, wake up!” someone shouted, jumping on me, “Wake up (Yn)! Today we’re going to do something fun!”
“What?” I opened my eyes, and shielded my eyes with my arm from the blinding sunlight.
“Today, we’re doing something for you!” Edward yelled in my face, yanking my arm away.
“Stop it, Edward!” I said, “My eyes hurt!”
“Sorry,” he mumbled, and kissed my lips. What a good way to start my day.
Then I heard the door being opened.
“Edward!” John shouted, and suddenly the weight on my body vanished. I quickly opened my eyes to see John pinning Edward down on the bed.
“I didn’t cheat! You weren’t here! It was your fault!” Edward said, trying to get free.
“I know but you’d do the same thing if you saw me on top of (Yn), wouldn’t you? It’s called reflex,” John replied.
“So can you let go now?”
“Sure,” and with that John stood back up.
I shook my head, “When are you two going to stop?”
“Until you choose me,” Edward smiled the Edward smile at me; I realized he had this way of smiling which was so cute!
“No you don’t, wait and see Edward, (Yn) will find that I’m the best so you should find someone else as you know you’re going to lose anyway!” John retorted, and I found that when John got jealous he also looked cute – stop it (Yn), you should not do this, how could you like two people at the same time? You were really, really—
“(Yn)! Get ready and let’s go!” Edward broke my trance, and I looked up to see that John was already gone.
“Where are we going actually?”
“Umm… You’ll see,” Edward winked at me, and left the room.
I walked out to find that John and Edward were busy packing. I went into the bathroom to tidy up a bit. When I walked back out, I saw each of them had an instrument strapped across their back – Edward had a violin and John had a guitar. There was a basket on the floor, covered with a beige cloth. They were standing by the front door waiting for me.
“Ready?” John asked.
“Yes,” and I walked towards them, “What’s this?” I pointed at the basket.
“It’s a surprise,” Edward replied.
They took each of my hand and we walked out of the house.
“What if people think we’re being weird?” I asked, looking down at our hands.
“We don’t care,” Edward replied, “It’s not like we’re kissing in the public or something.”
“But everyone’s staring at me!” I said. Most people who walked pass us stared at me like I was some sort of animal.
“Because you’re gorgeous,” John replied, and squeezed my hand.
I blushed, and I kept myself busy by studying my surroundings. Everything looked different from last night with sunlight – everything looked much more colorful. Everyone was busy doing their things, and I saw some kids playing on the street. I thought about my childhood, and could not help but felt a bit jealous.
At last we arrived at an open area, and they stopped.
“Where are we?” I asked.
“We’re at the plaza, the place we perform for a living,” John said, and led us to the fountain situated at the center. They made me sit on the edge of the fountain, and put down the basket by my side. I tried to lift up the cloth to peek inside, but Edward caught me and hit my hand playfully.
“You’re quite impatient, aren’t you?” Edward said, “Just wait a little longer, please!”
Then the two of them turned around and took out their instruments from their cases. Then they put the empty cases on the floor in front of them. They slightly turned around to face me, and began to play, and they sang,

By the time they had finished the song, many people had gathered around. Everyone clapped, and they threw some coins into the cases. They smiled, and looked at me. I had tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably.
“(Yn)! What happened?” John asked, and they quickly put down everything and rushed to me.
“Nothing,” I said, wiping away my tears with the back of my hand, “Did you write that song?”
“Yeah, we wrote it last night,” John replied, “So please tell us what’s wrong!”
“Nothing, I was just…” I did not really know what to say, “It was amazing…”
“It’s specially written for you,” Edward said, and took my hand, “We really like you, and we would never ever let you get back to that horrible castle again.”
“We have promised,” John said.
“Thank you so much… I don’t know what I can do to repay you two… I don’t deserve this!” I said, with more fresh tears rolling down.
“Don’t cry, please,” John pleaded, and wiped away my tears with his thumb.
“Yeah, don’t, I don’t like seeing you cry,” Edward added, and glanced back, “Wait, I’ll pick up the stuff first.”
So it was just John and me. “(Yn),” he began, sitting down next to me, “I… I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” I asked.
“(Yn)… Actually, I do not only like you, I know we’ve just met, but… I love you already. You are not like any other girls I’ve met in my life. That’s why I have never had a girlfriend before. You’re caring, and you don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t. I really love you, so please, choose me…”
“John…” I said, and looked into his eyes, “I like you too, no, actually, I… I love you too. But I also love Edward. I know it’s wrong, but I just can’t choose you now and abandon Edward. Please give me some more time…”
“Hey! Everything’s ready now…” Edward said, coming back, and saw our serious expression, “What are you two talking about?”
“Nothing,” I quickly said, and John stood up.
“Erm… I suddenly remember I’ve forgotten to buy something,” John said, scratching the back of his head, “You wait here, and I’ll… Join you later.”
John half-ran away, leaving me and Edward. Edward sat down next to me, “Why is he being so awkward? And really, what did you two talk about? You’re hiding something from me,” he said, staring into my eyes.
“Nothing important,” I said, and tried to change the subject, “So where are we going next?”
“(Yn), before I tell you that, I have something else to tell you,” Edward said, glancing around. He looked like he was checking if John was near to me.
I rolled my eyes. He was just like his brother.
“(Yn), I love you,” he said, out of the blue, “We just met yesterday, but you’re the prettiest, funniest and smartest girl I’ve ever met. I’ve wanted to get a girlfriend for ages, but no one really impressed me, except you. You’re perfect for me, (Yn), please, choose me, I’ll protect you forever, I will give you a life a million times better than the one you once had, although I’m not rich, I can still make you happy. I love you (Yn),”
“I love you too Edward, but I love John too, I sound horrible I know, but it’s the truth, I just can’t decide at this stage,” I said, “Just give me some more time…”
“Guys!” John shouted from the distance.
“Done?” Edward asked, as John was coming closer. He was not holding anything.
“Yeah, let’s go,” they picked up everything, and took my hands again.
As we walked down the street, Edward stopped.
“Err, wait here, it’s my turn to forget something,” he said, and ran away, disappearing into the corner.
“Weirdo,” John said.
“Hmm. You two are both being weird,” I accused.
“No, at least I’m not,” John smiled, and pulled me to stand by the side of the street.
We waited in silence, and Edward finally came back. Like John, he did not seem to have bought something.
We continued our journey anyway. We walked through some deserted areas, and into the bushes. At last we reached an opening – I was expecting somewhere like where Edward had brought me to last night, but it was not. Instead we were in a meadow, with wild colorful flowers growing everywhere. There was a huge willow tree standing in the middle, and that reminded me of the one back in the castle. It was beautiful.
We walked towards the willow tree. John and Edward led me towards the willow tree, and they spread the cloth under the tree. They revealed the content of the basket – lots and lots of food filled the basket.
“Are we… Having a picnic?” I asked. I had wanted to try it for ages. Every time I saw Rosary and Father eating that willow tree, I would feel jealous.
“Yes!” Edward replied, taking out the food.
“Wow,” I said, “You have no idea how much I want to have a picnic…” With someone I loved, I added mentally.
“Really?” John looked up, smiling.
“This is going to be great!” I replied, grinning from ear to ear.
So we had a picnic under the tree. We ate and talked, and they even played me a few more songs; I had never felt so happy before. Being with John and Edward was the best time of my life.
After we had finished, Edward walked away to gathered some flowers for me. He jumped and ran through the grass, looking like a big kid. I smiled at the sight of him enjoying himself.
“(Yn)…” John suddenly said, I looked at him, “I have something for you.”
He produced something brown from his pocket.
