EDITED

The day of the fight came and the more minute passed to the noon the more I and Sian were stressed.

The time was not passing quickly but very slowly and I wanted to stop it and kiss Sian. But he did not let me. 

' I can kiss you after I will win.' he said.

'What if you lose!' I asked him.

'I will not. I have the power of love. Noor does not love you but I do, I am fighting for you because I do not want to lose you he fights just win you over me. But if he loses there is no bad about it for him.' he said.

'Please Sian. Please let me kiss you. I want to give you all the power I can so you will win this fight. Please...' I start.

'Leonora I will not repeat myself. Let me be now.' he said and with tears in my eyes, I left.

After this interact, I did not go to Sian again. I just prayed that he will win as he had told me.

The bells are ringing. This is the sign of the beginning of fights. I start to run to the training place near the forest where is a small fight arena placed. In the left corner is standing Noor, in the right corner is standing my love, Sian. And in the centre of the stairs which are all around the area is sitting the king. The first stair is in the height of 4 metres.

I go upstairs to the king.

'Welcome my people, people of Rouka and Micao.' king welcome.

When I was up one soldier stopped me and said: ' Wait for the demand of king.'

So I wait.

'This day, this noon and in this place will be fighting two of my oldest sons. Noor.' he starts.

When he named his son Noor you can hear loud ovations.

'And Sian.' he ends.

'They were chosen by the last princess of Micao and this noon will be fighting for the title of the future king of Micao and Rouka. And mainly over the one who chose them. Beautiful princess Leonora.' King says.

At that moment I come slowly to him looking forward. When I was near to him I bow he then lets me sit on the place next to him.

'Princess will you say few words.' says king.

'Yes.' I say.

I stand up and look around me.

All the places were full.

'Good afternoon for all of you. I hope that all of us will see an awesome fight of princes and the winner will deserve me.' I say.

The ovations started again.

I sit again.

'The loser of this fight will marry too. But princess Kiana from Tarum kingdom from the north.' says king.

'Let fighters take the swords.' says king.

Noor and Sian take his sword.

'Let' s the fight begin.' King says.

Sian attacked Noor but Noor dodged it. Sian starts attacking in the period but Noor simply dodged every attack.  Sian continued in a whirlwind of attacks and cuts from his sword. Noor dodged it but when the last cut of Sian come Noor jumped in the air. Sian did not expect it and before he realizes when Noor is standing Noor attacked Sian from behind. When Noor attacked Sian was just turning around so Noor cut Sian' s arm.

It started to bleed. Sian touched the wound.

'SIAN!' I yell.

Sian looked at me and started attacking Noor again. The worst of all was that the cut arm was the arm which is holding the sword.

Noor dodged every attack from Sian and just smile about the attacks which were sent at him by his younger brother.

Sian was quite tired by that attacking and the wound on his arm.

'Sian, it seems that you do not have energy.' says Noor.

'I do not have energy but I have loved.' he says.

Sian looks at me and yells: ' I LOVE YOU LEONORA. You will be mine I promise.'

I start to cry.

'Love. ' starts Noor.

'Maybe you have the power of love but I have better technique and more years of practice.' Noor says in the offence.

Sian got upset and like got new energy and start attacking Noor faster than before he did.

'Love is more way stronger than your strength.' Sian opposes.

'You are saying that but after living my life I cannot say that.' Noor says.

Sian got angry even more but did not expect that Noor will attack again. Sian got another cut.

Noor said because he wanted Sian to lose concentration or because he meant it?

When I am thinking about it Sian starts to yell off the pain. Noor hit with the sword the chest and cut a little in the previous wound.

SIAN.

Sian tries to stand but he cannot he falls to the ground. Noor goes to him and ground him do not let him stand again, Noor ' s sword is touching Sian' s neck and with cut, Sian would be without ahead. Dead I cannot. Sian, please do not die!

Sian tried to get out of his brother' s grasp but by doing it he got slightly cut to the neck.

'Sian, you lost.' says king.

People who were watching stand up and start to scream for the winner.

Sian lost. Lost. LOST NO!

I started to cry even more. Sian, my love he will not be my future husband. It will be Noor.

'SIAN!' I SCREAM.

Noor stands up and sends his hands into the air.

'Thank you all!' he says and then he turns to me: 'It is an honour for me to become your husband. Leonora.' He says and sends me a kiss.

'Ohhhh. He is so sweet!!!!' was heard from the women who are sitting still on the stairs.

King leans his hand to mine. I stand up with him and go downstairs to the winner. He takes my hand in his. And leads me to Noor. We are almost close to him and king stops and me too.

'The winner, my son, Noor this is your price.' King says. And makes my hand free.

I take a step forward and Noor takes more and the first thing he does is that he wipes away the tears in my eyes.

'I want to marry you right now. Leonora.' he says and then he kisses me on my lips. He uses his tongue after a while to claim what is his.

Noor.
