Blossoms on fire

Chapter 2

EDITED

I was still in the cell where I was sent by the prince. I did not know what word Maria means. But it was not like I needed to know. I just wanted to leave this place. I did not want to die here. Yes, I wanted to die. But I wanted to die at home, at Micao, near my mum not here in Rouca. I just wanted to leave this kingdom and to come to my home and there sit next to my mum' s grave and let the death take over. 

After the attack in the royal palace, I lost all my hope for better tomorrow so there is nothing to waiting for. Nothing good. So why should I keep waiting?

After so many thoughts going through  my mind I heard the door of my cell open.

The blonde man entered the room where I was kept locked. He had a blue uniform and a blue cap. He had a bunch of keys in his palm . He was well-built. He was tall and had a very big nose.

'Get up.' 

I looked at him confused. Why should I?

'Get up or you will be living hell here.' 

I slowly got up because I did not want to stay here any longer I just wanted to get out of here. So...

'Good girl.' 

He cuffed  my hands. Then he pulled me to him and held on me tight. Like this, we were going through several corridors. They were so cold and dark I could not see anything. I had closed eyes. He kept going still forward and after a few minutes he stopped and I opened my eyes. The shine of light burned me. We were in front of the kin and all of the princes. We were in the throne room. 

'Jim, you are dismissed.' said the king.

Jim bowed and left.

I was trying to leave but the king's words cut off the reason for leaving.

'If you leave this room I will kill three random people who lived in your kingdom.' 

Why?

How did he know that this is my flaw?

I turned around and took three steps back. I looked down. I heard steps coming to me. I looked up and see prince in front of me.

'I have told you a poem which connected us in the past. But now it is time for actions.' started the Prince.

I looked at him confused. 

What was he talking about?

'You have to marry one Prince of Rouka.' he declared

Prince? Me? 
This must be a dream. What prince would want me?

'There are five princes in Rouka. But your husband will be just one of us. And because all of us want you as our wife we have to fight for you.' he said.

'That is crazy.' 

'It is not. We just fill places in history.' 

'But I am not part of your history!' 

'So ignorant.' 

'But it does not matter, Luca.' 

'That is true, Ben.'

'Stop all of us.'

'The first is the introduction. So tell your name.' 

'I am Ben. I am sixteen years old.' said the guy with brown messy hair and small ears. He was quite small.

'I am Ren. I am seventeen.' said a guy a little taller than Ben. He had very short hair.

'I am Luca. I am seventeen' said a guy who looked quite the same as Ren. Maybe they are twins.
