Days has turned to a week Enya has been faithful in her archery trainning.

Though her skills were great but she still has a lot to learn.

She doesn’t miss her target, but she needs to shoot the arrow right into the tiny h0le at the centre of the board.

Finally the day has come for the Young Lord to choose his bride.

King Neheb had invited almost everyone in the village both the rich and the poor to witness the day one of his daughters will be chosen.

Everyone were so happy especially the royal house. Lady Moreen had picked one of her best dress for the day.

Everyone would say, “ This is indeed a blessed day.”

Enya is seen with her sisters, she had decided to quit the training for the day and rather witness one of her sisters chosen.

She helped them decorate themselves, and she made sure they looked presentible.

“ Sister,” Arwen called.

“ Mm-hmm.” She hummed an answer.

“ You haven’t told us your reasons for quiting the test.”

Enya smiled. “ I was only following the will of fate. For I am not destined to be with His Highness, I do not have to push further. One of you are.”

“ Do I look great on this?” Anna asked and they both nodded their heads.

“ You look great on it.” Enya replied.

“ I never thought I would fall in love.” Said Anna. “ How does it feels, sister, to be a queen?”

“ Uhm… I honestly do not know, that is why I was so obssessed to be one.” She simply said.

“ Do you still wish to be one?” Arwen asked.

“ No, not anymore.” She sighed, not ready to talk about herself to her sisters. “ no more questions, come on, let’s get out of here.” She hurried them.

She didn’t bother appearing on the best dress or make-up, she ws only there to witness the event.

The hall was filled, everyone sat awaiting for Lord Rodriguez to show up. Anna and Arwen sat close to each other on a separate seat they had prepared for them, while Enya sat on the seeat acroos theirs.

The chattering voices stopped as soon as Lord Rodriguez appeared in the hall. He stared at the two beauties and a small smile played on his l-ips.

Today, one of the two will be chosen. Now, the question is… Who will it be??

“ I have come with a decision and I have made up my mind to be with…” there was a brief pause, then he continued. “ Lady Enya of Pendamour.”

The entire hall was filled with gasp and awe. Muttering voices could be heard from the back up to the front.

Enya was shocked than anyone present. Her eyes w¡dened, speechless was she as she stared at her mother.

She shook her head slowly at her, “ It’s all a mistake.” Was the word she kept muttering in her head, hoping her mother could hear her.

He continued. “ She has proven worthy the moment she had stepped down for her sisters. Most of us may have thought of it to be a cowardice choice, but I saw it as the wisest renouncement one would ever make.

That was selflessness. And do know what? I am more pleased with right choices.” Looks at Enya from where she sat, “ Please come forward, My Lady.”

Enya never bothered about the crowd since she was little, but at this moment, she seem to bother about the hundred eyes which stared at her.

“ I know this has only come unexpected, and you have proven to my doubts that I do not need to search for a patner anymore, because I have found one already. My brothers and sisters who have come to witness this day, I hereby proclaim Lady Enya, as my wife.”

Everyone stood up, filling the atmosphere of the hall with an unfading applaud which lasted for minutes.

A hot tear dropped down from her eye, as her gaze never left his. She never expected it, no one did. She wished someone will have to explain to her what it is that has just happened.

When everyone had left to their respective homes, Lord Rodriguez ordered Enya to stay behind.

She waited until everyone had left and the hall was empty for the two of them alone.

He walked up to where she stood, for she has been standing there since he had called her up.

” My Lady.” He called in a deep but cold voice. ” Forgive me if I have made this known the wrong way. You might wonder why I have chosen you and not your sisters.

They are of course worthy, but not as you are. I decided not to have noticed you all these while because I wanted to prove to my instincts that I can have no other person for my heart.

But then I discovered one thing, ” he leaned close to her ear, ” I love it when you get jealous. ”

Enya’s eyes w¡dened, she never expected him to have noticed that. He pulled back, staring at her face.

” But do not worry, your jealousy isn’t the kind that irritates me. It only explains how much you wish to have me… Alone. ”

Enya looked to the ground, avoiding his gaze. ” I want to ask, Those gro-ning feelings, do they still dwell in your heart? ”

She didn’t know what to answer. So many times she has tried taking him off her mind. He is also the main reason why she desperately wanted to learn the archery.

To have anything… everything about him erased from her memory once and for all. But all her attempts went in vain.

He was still there, deep down in her heart, occupying every single part of her mind.

” I always thought I loved His Highness, but then I realized that it wasn’t love. I was only obsessed with him. ”

” Behind those obsession, is there still a love to be found? ”

She didn’t want to look at him, her face made no sign of leaving the ground. He held her chin, raising it up that she can look at him.

” Is there still a love to be found?” He asked again.

This time, her tears explained it all to him. She was staring at him, but the hot tears couldn’t stop from leaving her eyes.

” As soon as we leave to my hometown, I will not only make you my wife, I will also make you my queen. You will always be by my side, every morning and night.

Your face shall be the first thing I will see every morning I wake up and it shall be the last thing before I sleep.

I will make your pains my pains, your happiness shall be my happiness and your enemies shall also be my enemies.

He pulled her close, hugging her tight to himself. ” And util death do we path. ”

That evening, she ran up to the hillside where she trains with Jonah. She didn’t stop running until she got there.

She fell to the ground crying out loud. Why would fate have to torture her in this way? Why has it make her think her life was worthless??

Why her? Oh, so unexpected.

At this moment she couldn’t think who it is that was wrong? Rosalie? Cynthia or Elizabeth? Her mother? What about her??

No one was actually wrong and no one was right either.

Maybe Rosalie’s words did help her a lot. If she hadn’t stepped down from the test, who knows?? Would struggling with her sisters be the right choice to make?

Is this actually fate’s doing, or is it all a dream?

What will her sisters think of her, that she has always been envious and jealous of them? That she must have in anyway convinced the Young Lord to herself?

Why does she feel like this is all a mistake? Why does she still feel that she doesn’t deserve him or his love… worst to be his queen.

Was this supposed to be happening?? This has once been her dream, but is she ready to face it? In reality?

” No! No!!” Anna cried. ” It has to be me. I have to be the chosen bride not her!!” She stormed everything in her room with her hands. ” It was supposed to be me!”

” You have to calm down, sister, yelling will not help.” Arwen tried to calm her down.

” Sitting and pretending like every thing is alright will not help either. She took my position. She said she wasn’t interested anymore, she isn’t meant to be with him.”

” She didn’t chose him, her chose her.”

” She should have said no to him.”

Arwen sighed, sitting on the bed. ” First, you have to calm down then we talk about this. ”

” You don’t look troubled about her being his bride.”

” Oh, come on Anna, I have said this over and over again. I do not have interest in marriage, I am still young to be courted. I was with the Young Lord all this while because I felt I needed to learn more.

If there is anyone to be courted, then it’s either you or sister Enya. I have no love for anyone… not even for him.”

” I must do something about this. I can not let her take him away from me. I am meant to be his queen, she rejected him to be alone. Why didn’t she do the same now?” She stamped her fist on her drawer.

” I will do whatever it takes to have Lord Rodriguez all to myself.” She threatened.

” What do you plan on doing? ” Arwen asked, sensing danger in her words.

” Anything… Anything. ”

” You are scaring me, Anna. ” Arwen said a bit terrified.

” You do not have to be scared, my plans aren’t for you.”
