Fairytale chosen (26 page)

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 Outdated rules are there to be changed.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.

EPILOGUE
