EDITED

'Battle. As you wish.' says Noor.

They start to fight. The swords touching each other. Sian attacked first but Noor defends and returns attack. Sian dodges too. It seemed like none of them were stronger but then Noor starts to fight with the best he can.

Sian barely dodges every attack and he got a little tired by every attack from Noor. But then came a moment when Sian was not fast enough to dodge the attack and Noor cut his arm below the shoulder. Sian yelps a little in pain and then he falls to the ground touching his wound which was bleeding much.

'SIAN!!!' I yell at them.

Both of them look at the window by which I was barely standing.

'Oh, Leonora.' says Noor.

'Noor, please let Sian go. He has a serious wound. Please do not fight him.' I please him.

'For you, I will be glad to do it.' Noor says.

'Leonora.' says silently, Sian.

'Sian, it is okay. Go to the infirmary. I know you did your best but now is the most important of your health. I appreciate it that you fight for me. ' I say.

After I said it my hand snapped and I fall. I try to get up but I do not have enough strength to do it.

Then someone entered the room. It was Ave holding a glass of water, my remedy and something to eat. After she sees me on the ground without the energy to get up she takes the things which she was holding on the table in front of one of the windows, and she runs to me to help me. She helps me to get up but I can barely to walk. My feet are sore. When I think I will fall someone catches me by his arms. I open my eyes and see Noor. He ran to me so fast.

'I got you.' he says.

I nod. Then he lifts me and gets me into bed again.

'Thank you, Noor.' I say.

He caresses my hair.

'Ave.' Noor says.

'Yes, sir.' she replies.

'Thank you for bringing these.' Noor says pointing at the glass of water, remedy for me to take and a plate of food. 

'It was no problem, sir.' she says.

'You are dismissed.' Noor says.

'Yes, sir.' she says and she leaves out of the room.

Noor takes the glass of water to my lips and I take sips. Then he places a plate on my lap and I ate it all. After five minutes he gives me my remedy and then he asks suddenly:  'Why do not you stay in bed? I thought and I thought right that you are not okay yet.'

'I heard you and Sian. But then  Sian wanted a battle with you. I was scared.' I say.

'About Sian?' he asks.

'Yes, but you too.' I say quietly.

'I heard it.' he says.

'Sian and you are the only ones who are kind to me. But even the other brothers of yours are not kind to me I would not want them to be hurt too.' I say.

'Difference.' Noor says.

'Difference? Why do you keep saying the words to which I can understand?' I ask him.

'If you open up to everyone they would know your flaws. Kind of self - defence.' he says.

'So you are talking in puzzles because you believe the only one who can solve it.' I say.

'You see, you are right.' he says.

'Am I?' I ask.

He nods.

'But back to the word. Why did you say difference?' I ask.

'Your soul is very different from the ones I know.' he says.

Different. Yes. Unfortunately, I am not like other princesses.

'Why are you sad?' he asks.

'You are right. I am so different from other princesses.' I say.

'But I am glad that you are.' he says.

'I am glad that you are like this.' he continues.

'Most people do not see the beauty in difference. Nobody is the same. Nobody looks the same as the others. Be different is normal but just most people think that is not. Do not be scared to be yourself. Because there are still some people who would like your true you. Like me and Sian.' he says.

'But if you are different everyone notices you first.' I say.

'Maybe yes. But if you are with someone who is with you no matter what. It does not matter so much, does not it?' he asks.

'Maybe yes.' I say.

'Leonora.' he calls me.

'You are not alone at all.' he continues.

'If you choose Sian or me, I can guarantee you that you will not be alone. That you will get a husband who will cherish you and love you so much. You do not have to be scared anymore. Both of us care about you. Just never forget that.' he says.

I hug him and he hugs me back with kissing the top of my head.

'Thank you for taking me here from that place.' I thank him suddenly.

'Why were you there?' he asks.

'I got lost.' I say.

'Okay. But do not you remember why did you faint?' He asks.

Ben. But what will happen to him if I tell Noor about it? I will say that I do not know.

'I started to feel not so good but I cannot make a way out of that place.' I say.

'Really?' he asks suspiciously about me not telling the truth.

'Yes, Noor. I do not know what is wrong with me. I did not feel good and then I just faint.' I reply.

'I do not believe you. You are not saying the truth.' he says.

'I...' I start.

'Why did you lie to me?' he asks a bit upset.

'If I told you he would in trouble.' I say.

'Staff here?' he asks.

I shook my head.

'One of my brothers?' he asks.

I wanted to lie again and say no but then someone knocks on the door.

'Who is it?' asks Noor.

'Doctor, Your Highness.' he says.
