Fairytale chosen

by Maya Shepherd

  "Probably theo ... in theory, "he stammered embarrassed and glanced at Medea, who stood beside him.

  "Thank you for doing this for my sister. I've never seen her so happy. "

  Surprised, he dared to look at her more closely. "Are not you jealous?"

  "Certainly, but I'd rather lose the prince at her as to any other. Heera would do anything for me and our family. She deserves to be happy. "

  Amphion smiled at her lovingly. "You said that nice."

  "You dance with me?" She asked suddenly challenging. He felt he was bright red now. "I ... I ... "he started, looking for an excuse, but Medea brooked no argument and words pulled him at the beginning of the next song, laughing on the dance floor.

  The evening was coming to an end and thereby also the decision of the Prince. He had tried to delay continues, but now the king put an end to by ordering the musicians to stop playing. At the same time he announced loudly that his honorable son will now announce its choice.

  Lean turned on in the middle of the hall, in front of him, the five remaining elect. Rather, he would have something to say, but one of the guests present took a sudden the word. King Aphron from a fellow UK stepped forward. "Forgive me Prince, but before you give your choice known, I'd like to announce something myself."

  Lean was glad of any delay. "Power only, you are welcome!"

  Aphron searched the crowd for a particular face and when he discovered this, he headed straight toward it. He fell in front of Phoebe, which he had held with him to his knees. "Dearest Phoebe, you've come as a thief in my garden and as a thief, I had let you because you took my heart with you. Since you no longer b with me, I feel as if I were trapped in perpetual darkness. You are my sun and I would therefore ask you if you want to be my wife. "

  Phoebe slapped terrified hands over her mouth before she cried out, "Yes!" King Aphron put her under the cheers of the guests a sparkling ring on her finger. Both passionately kissing each other. Even Lean applauded them cheerfully. Although he had already decided against Phoebe, so he was glad for her that her dream one day to be queen, now still fulfilled. King Aphron was a good man who would put their safe heaven at your feet.

  The prince cleared his throat. "I congratulate you heartily! Does anyone else want to say something? "

  In fact, now also joined King I w to forward. He was just as nervous as Aphron. "Good lord, you've made a good choice and the most beautiful girl of the whole kingdom gathered around you. One is more beautiful than the other. "

  The elect were smiling so much praise. "What is, faithful friend to Iw, you want to also stop by the hand of one of the retiring?"

  "No, I would be happy if it were that simple. But my fate is much more difficult, because I am in love with one of your elect. Do not think me presumptuous, but I want the girls to express my love, before you decide for or against them. "

  A murmur went through the crowd. That had never happened before it and everyone was curious how would react the prince it. "Which girl you speak?" Leans own RZ He knocked frantically, because of Iw to the answer now depended on his own decision.

  "The lovely Xenia has captured my heart in the dance", Iw announced on. "It would be a great honor if I could marry her."

  Lean felt himself relieved by the answer of his friend was laughing. "That you must Xenia already ask yourself, have my blessing you!"

  King Iw at Xenia took in his hands. "Would you give me the knot? I promise, as long as I live, to respect you and to love. "

  Xenia appeared to be completely overwhelmed by the situation, but sch Miss finally her arms around Iw to the neck. "Only too happy I marry Euch!"

  Again broke out in loud guests congratulations. Xenia's siblings danced merrily around the fresh pair. Iw to Lean had at least taken a decision, but there were still remaining four girls and only three should reach the next round.

  When everyone had calmed down a bit, attention turned again to the prince. Lean had now take the floor and make a decision whether he wanted to or not. "Behind us are exciting weeks and I want to thank everyone for this beautiful girl time. I was able to meet many great personalities and each of them would be a worthy bride and future queen. At the time of selection, I have not only learned a lot about the girl, but also a lot about myself. There are many things I want to do better in the future. I need a woman at my side, who knows what she wants. And one of the candidates has convinced me from the outset from the fact that it was the right bride for me. I choose the first the girl who was also my first elect. Daphne! "

  Daphne screamed for joy and fell Lean around the neck. She kissed him on the cheek stormy, while her father clapped and cheered louder than anyone else. "My daughter!" He shouted again and again with pride. The other guests cheered and Lean could see his parents that they were satisfied with his decision. Daphne was an excellent choice.

  "The next girl has convinced me above all by their uniqueness. I would recognize among thousands as soon as they are also just a sound. I choose Medea with the most beautiful voice of all Chóraleio. "

  He could see how they breathed easier, even if it was more reticent in their joy as Daphne. She embraced Lean, kissed him on both cheeks and whispered, "Thank you"

  Now only Erina and Heera remained. He had no plan, but decided quite spontaneously. Which of the two it should only choose?

  "I've learned that a king's decisions should always take well considered. But a girl has taught me to listen to my heart. She puts all their hopes on me and I do not intend to disappoint them. Erina! "

  Although Lean had chosen Erina, his eyes fell on Heera. He searched her eyes for forgiveness, but she was completely paralyzed. She did not smile and did not cry. Erina kissed him on both cheeks. She was overjoyed nevertheless Lean had the feeling of having made a mistake. As Heera turned to go, did his heart hurt so that he believed it would break in two at any moment.

  Heera wanted to leave the hall. She was neither disappointed nor angry with Lean, quite the contrary, they would like to congratulate him on his decision. He had made the best choice for his kingdom. She had known from the beginning that it would be totally unsuitable as a queen. Maybe she had changed, but for bad luck was not within a few weeks gold. At least she would be with Medea will soon understand again.

  But all these expressions not arrived at the tears that gathered in her neck to a thick lump. She did not cry. Not in front of guests, and certainly not in front of Lean. He should not get the impression that they would have expected anything else from him. You would be Hunter at his court and they could see so often as they wanted. There was no reason to be sad.

  "Stop!" He shouted suddenly to the applause and cheers. Heera stopped.

  "I'm not finished," he said and immediately fell silent. "A king makes decisions and legislates. Outdated rules are there to be changed. Therefore, I take as the future king of Chóraleio the right out to break with centuries-old traditions. I decide not only for three girls, but for four! "

  Although Heera had turned her back on him, she could feel how he came up to them and eventually stopped behind her. "Heera, you want to continue to fight for me?"

  The tears rolled down her cheeks and her throat was so constricted that she could hardly speak. She wiped her piece with hand over his face before she turned to him. She was angry because he had played with their emotions. "Prince Lean, you are far from being a king!" She snapped at him with a raised finger. "A king is not haws around!"

  "You're no queen," Lean grinned cheekily. "You're the egg Nzige girl who would rather marry a toad than to kiss a prince."

  "I kissed a toad, then yes maybe I'll marry the prince," she said defiantly. The lump in her throat broke up, the tears dried and she laughed relieved when she kissed him on both cheeks.
