EDITED

We got up very early. Then Noor left to prepare himself. Elle helped me with getting dressed and with my hair. Then she accompanied me and we went to a dining table when our guests are going to first.

Here I am waiting for them, Noor and Elle. Both of them went to welcome guests. I hear closing doors, many steps and voices. I start shivering. Three Noor. And five leaders of the aristocracy. All of them are going to stay one day with us and make an agreement about the future.

I hear steps approaching me and suddenly someone pulls me close to his hip. I look up it is Noor. He kisses my cheek.

'This is Leonora. My wife and queen.' he says.

'Good morning.' I say.

'Good morning too.' say others.

Noor sits and everyone else too.

'Eve.' he says to a maid and she nods.

The maids start bringing food to the table. I see Elle long distance from them only watching. One of them gives a plate of food in front of me. I just look at it. I do not eat for while Noor looks at me and the plate various times. I look around. I see many faces which make me shiver in fear. I sit next to Noor and his brother.

'Husband.' I call Noor.

'Yes.' he answers.

'May I please go to my room?' I ask him.

'Leonora, stay.' Noor says.

'If she did not feel belong here so she goes!' says aristocrat Benian.

I start crying.

'Stop it.' says Noor.

'You are just a figurine in Rouka's game.' says another aristocrat, his name was Cilian.

Game? This war, this kingdom was an only joke or simple game. For the only laugh, people died!

'Do not insult queen. 'starts Noor's cousin who is sitting next to me.

I look at Noor.

'Leonora.' says Noor.

'Leo...' his cousin next to me starts but I push the chair back and get up.

'I... just a game. If it is true you just manipulated me .'I say.

'If you want to rule to Micao so badly...' I start.

'If this marriage was just a joke and bound do not exist between us...' I say.

' I will leave.' I say.

'No, you are my wife.' says Noor.

'I want you to be here.' he continues.

'I can lie.' said Noor.

'I am sorry.' I say and start running to my room.

'Lea! 'Noor screams.

I do not feel good among them. I do not know them and Noor too. I do not understand him and I try and tried so many times. I am running out of this palace. Out of everywhere. My people died because of a game. My family died just to Rouka has fun.
