EDITED

'Ashley.' king says.

Then some girl came to him.

'Yes, Your highness.' she says.

'Can you please call all my sons to the throne room?' king asks her.

'Yes, Your Highness.' she says, she bows and then she leaves.

We stayed alone for second and then king says: 'Leonora, follow me.'

I nod at him and follow him through the corridors to the throne room. We made it there in five minutes. By that time there were two of five princes. There were Luca and Ben. Two minutes after us arrived Noor and Ren. One missed. Sian.

I can bet that he is tarining outside. The fight is day after tomorrow how he can have enough energy to beat Noor. Not every fight is about technique but there is a  stamine needed too. Without energy he will lose in few minutes.

And we will not be together. NEVER. 

All five of us we are waiting for Sian to come. Luca, Ren, Ben and Noor are waiting in the line waiting. I am standing next to the throne which is occuped by king. He is quiet impatient. At the moment when he wanted to screamed his son' s name Ashley comes back with a message for him.

'Your Highness, I cannot find him. I am sorry.' she says.

King nods and says: 'Noor take Sian here!'

Noor says: 'Yes, I will. Father.' 

He bows to king and then he leaves out of the room. If I count seconds after Noor's leaving to hearing screaming and cussing on Sian it would be twenty seconds and in the next twenty seconds Sian and Noor are going through the doors. Sian is very bad hurt everywhere and he cannot walk properly. He had so much workouts without rest so now he is in sore over all his body.

'Sian.' king calls him.

He looks up and he says: ' Yes, father.' 

'Where have you been?' king asks.

'Training.' he says upset.

'Hope that it helped you.' king answers.

King looks at all his sons and starts: 'I called you all here today because I want to tell you something important. It is about the destiny of Rouka. Our land of our people. I was talking to Leonora about her choice and she told me that she had already chosen some of my sons. I hope that if she did not pick you you would not feel hatred to your brothers who was chosen by her. I want to welcome her into our family friendly so I hope nobody would spoil it or her wedding with one of you. And one more thing: I hope that you will not break the rules and the one who will be chosen and he lost or the ones who weren't chosen at all they would not secude her and would let her to be just only with her husband and let just her hsuband to love her, cherish her or kiss her.'

The king has awesome speech even when it was speech about family manners it was so convincingly like some speech about winning war. It would give power to fight.

'Leonora...' he calls me and then he nods at me saying: Tell them who had you chosen.

'Firstly I want to thank you about everything you did for me and for spending time with me. After so many years I did not feel alone in this castle. Yes, I know that this is a palace. Even for royal family but with word castle I want to say that my stay here was like living in fairy tale. I found my love, I found people who would let me learn read or write. There are some who did not like me so much but still were kind to me and I appreaciated. I chose two of you. I am sorry if I did not pick you but I wanted to pick those with whom I would be free, I can be myself, I will be loved by him and the one who will accept my flaws and he would not hate me for them. The ones who I had chosen has these qualitties I wished he would have. I am so happy that you want me to be part of your family. So thank you so muchfor accepting me in. I know surely that I WILL NOT be alone with family as you are.' I start.

'But now to the names. I picked Sian.' I say and do not talk for a few seconds.

Sian looked at me with love and worry.

'And Noor.' I end.

Noor cheered very loud unlike Sian. He came to hug me and kisses my cheek. Then he says: ' You gave me chance and I will fight with my best to win place beside you in future.'

'Thank you.' I tell him.

After I said that I look around to see Sian but I did not see him there. 

'I am sorry.' I say and dismiss myself.

I run and then I saw Sian in front of me.

'SIAN.' I scream at him.

'Thank you.' he says irritated.

'Sian, I love you not Noor. SO stop be so jealous.' I start.

'And second I just thank him it means a lot to me when people want to be around me. Many years of my childhood I was alone. Completely I am thankful for the ones I have around now.' I say.

'You can enjoy him because it feels that you will be his and not MINE!' he says upset even more and leaves.

Sian...

'Sian!' I yell after him.

'Do not go after me.'he says back.

I fall on my knees. Tears try to come through my barricades. One escaped but then someone hugs me from behind.

'Noor.' I say. I knew because of the scent.

'He is just stressed he did not mean it at all.' Noor explains.

'Really?'I ask him with tears on my face.

He takes them away with one hand.

'Yes.' he says and then he picks me up.

'Where are we going?' I ask him.

'Wherever you want.' he says.

'Can you take me to my room, please?' I ask him.

'Whatever my princess.' he says.

'I am not yours yet.' I say.

'After you said my name I am flying in my head. In dreams you now.' he says.

'Ohh.' I say.

'The day of the fight I will do my best.' he says again.

'Why? You are stronger than Sian you do not have to do your best at all?' I ask him.

'Who is my rival does not matter I will do my best even if I fight against the squirrel. When I was younger I learned NEVER understimate someone because he can show himself like weak but it can be a lie. He can be stronger than he seems.' he explains me.

We were in front of my room. He opens the door.

'You learned so much.' I say.

'It is useful and the most now.' he says and he sits me on the bed.

I look at him confused.

'Because with those you can be mine forever.' he says and he kisses my forehead.

'I am going.' he says.

'Thank you.' I say and then he leaves the room.

He...

'Because with those you can be mine forever.'

Noor or Sian.

End of chapter 17

Who do you like more Sian or Noor?
