When i heard my name called, i couldn't be more happy.
I felt frozen and couldn't make a single move.My brother pushed me to walk past the large crowd who gathered to know the competition results.
The soft breeze brushing nicely against my face while i headed towards the high wooden stage where King Thomas, General David the minister of defense and General Jack the prime minister standed there to accept my join into the private royal knights.
To be clear; I was shaking.Tremendously terrified. So afraid to be discovered but let's pray this pass peacefully... I'm still young to be scented to death right now.
God why did I took this step from the beginning. Shut up stupid you can do it perfectly. Everything is going to be fine.Right?
As I reached the stage and went up the few stairs I was welcomed by a smiling king.Wow he looks older than I last saw him. I bowed down before the high ranked persons infront of me.
"Oliver Hawkins. Congratulations my son."the king said nicely.
I bowed again"thank you your majesty.it's a major pleasure to win your trust and promise you that I will do my best to protect prince Niall."
The king smiled then signalled for his defense minister to declare my new position in the kingdom.
"On the behalf of myself, The king and The people I'd like to congratulate Oliver Hawkins for being the private guard of prince Niall Horan.I'd like to thank everyone who applied for the competition and for the great efforts you made.Thank you"
I let out a relief sigh.Can't be more thankful.Finally I will meet the prince.actually I'm the one responsible for his safety and life.
As long as my actual identity is hidden I promise myself to sacrifice my life for my one and only Niall James Horan.Prince of Verde and king of my heart.
----------------------

Back at my home with my beloved family for the last time.
I started to feel emotional remembering all my memories since i was a very little baby in this home.
While packing my things i found a handmade tiny bracelet. I smilled as the memory clicked into my mind.
It was my seventh birthday. Sam my nine years old brother that time gave it to me as my birthday present. No need to mention that it was the closest present to my heart. I kept wearing it for 3 years in row. Just had to take it off when my body started to change. You know as a teenager ;) .
My fingers brushed sweetly the rusted silver colored tiny lock hanging from the middle of it beside the smaller key.
I almost felt dead when i felt somebody's hands are wrapped around my waist.
"Goddamn it Sam you scared me" I hit my stupid brother playfully on the arm.
"Sorry sweetheart but i was knocking on the door for what seemed forever then i welcomed myself in to find you swimming in your thoughts. What were your thinki..wait,Is that the bracelet i gifted you before"He smiled sheepishly when he saw the precious bracelet in my hand.
"Wow someone's memory is getting stronger now" I teased him.Sam always had a rather weak memories at remembering events, numbers and tasks. Almost can say he forget everything just except people he meets even if he doesn't know their names,will just go like 'oh hey we've met before". Weird right!
"I have a memory of metal but you don't appreciate it" he said flipping up his quiff."but honestly I didn't think you still have it. I mean it's 13 years now since I gave it to you"
"I can't get rid of something that dear to me,you know"
He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.
I always felt protected around my one and only brother.He is my back up whenever I fall into troubles. Been always there for me when I need to cry or whenever I break down. Always there for me when I want to play at midnight. He was my riding horses teacher,since dad couldn't ride horses.
No,he is able to but dad used to be a solider.A very brave one if i might add and was extremely close to king Thomas in his early ages of ruling,his horse PICKY been with him since the beginning of my father's career and one day during the war with Yawa "the opposing kingdom" Picky was shot insted of Dad and died. Since that time my father promised he'll never ride any other horse appreciating Picky's pure soul;
Just thinking about Sam made me start feeling homesick already.
I don't know what's coming tomorrow, and obviously I don't want to know.
Such a risk if ended up discovered the least thing could be done is sending me fo death. But let's pray to God nothing bad happens.
"Helloooo!from earth to Olivia somebody's here" Sam interrupted my zoned out mood knocking on my head.
"Oh yes sorry I was just thinking about how awesome my brother is"
"Well.Damn me I interrupted a moment when I'm appreciated"
"Yeah sure that's the stupid you"
"Heyyy, show me some respect"down.whined.
"Oh come on since when I respect you"i stated.
"Got a point,anyways.Afraid?"he questioned.
See told ya he's my shoulder.
"Terrified" i confessed. And trust me if there is some other word i can think of right now describes my feelings stronger than terrified then that's it.
"You should be"Sam said.I rolled my eyes.

Wow thank you so much my shoulder.

I know he's not happy with me risking my life that way but...it's all done now.can't back down.

"You know my opinion but right now I know you need support more than ever so I'm just gonna stop talking and be sure that I utterly and completely encourage you and got your back whenever you need. As long as it's hard to think of you going and leaving the home. I want you to be sure we are always here for you.whenever, whichever and whatever happens" he gave me a little speech holding my shoulders strongly and tight,looking directly in my eyes.like his blueish green eyes and igniting fire and radiating strength and braveness.
His words fired up the little knight inside of me.
