　　Location:Mid-East; in the endless desert

　　Present:Phylix; Salatin; Grant; Wionon

　　It was so hot, we had walked for more than three days in the endless desert, sand, all that we could see was endless sand, we feel so hot, thirst and hungery, we must find a place to got some thing for drink and eat, I remember that there is a greenland not far from here, if we stick on going south for half a day.

　　I had paied my childhood with a servant of my father who came from the East, it was said my father had the royal blood of easten kingdom, he is a prince, but I knew few about him, my grandfather who brought me up, he hate the man who steeled his beloved daughter from him.

　　Though I had the misery childhood, I am a very fortunate young man. I am a born noble, young as I am, I had inherited a big fortune from my grandfather who was the Duke of Normandy.

　　I know I am fairly too beautiful as a man, it made many troubles to me. Many people would be charmed by my splendid appearance and mistake me as female at the first sight they see me. The graceful French-style courtly manners also fascinate many females. So I am always the focus wherever I go.

　　It was said that I have the same beautiful bold blue eyes as my mother, though I had never seen her, I know she was very pretty. I have long curled black hair, which was said to inherit from my father, who is a knight from the East.

　　I was brought up by my grandfather, and became the Duke of Normandy after his death as his only successor. My mother who is said to disgrace the name of Leicdo is the only child of the old Duke. She was a beauty when she was young and chased by many young noble even the some with royal blood; she fell in love with a handsome young knight from the East, and ran away with him, they married in a little church in the countryside, and had not got the prayer from her father. They both died when I was very young.

　　Though I was very young when I was tooked to the Arabian country, I can remember the way whe go in vague.

　　When we finally arrived at the greenland, we were surprised at how big it was, it was not small greenland, it was a very big developed city, it’s the capital of the kingdom Auson-the Ausonia.

　　There were so many people in the street, all kinds of wonderful things were sold in the street, so many merchant and shop, jellwerys silk, precious stones, gold, flowers and fruits were put like hills, it was such a rich and luxury city that amazed us.

　　How could we image few hours before, we were in the endless desert, thirst and tired, and after hours we are in such a beatiful city that was so luxury, roads were made of precious stone, people in the street were all were silk, flowers were blooming everywhere, it was like a dream.

　　There was a very beautiful garden which was setted in the centre of the city and seemed like lift into the sky, we were all surprise to see the beautiful garden in the sky. In fact all the city was like a miracle.

　　We found millions of people when we reach the big square in front of big sky garden. They were all wearing their best festival clothes, what day it was, I couldn’t thought out, perhaps it was a festival of their nation, we all wanted to know what they all doing there, so we hushed into the crowed to see it.

　　I asked a young man in Arabian.

　　“Don’t you know? You must be a new comer.” The man said. “Our king will choose a queen today, who don’t want to marry the queen? He is young, brave, handsome and powerful. Girls came to the capital three days before from everywhere in the empire, the king said that he would choose the most beautiful girl to be the queen, don’t care she’s rich or pore, noble or plebeian. We all want to see who would be the most beautiful queen.”
　　“That’s great, and I want to see too.” Grant hushed to the front of the crowed, followed winnon and i.

　　“so many beautiful girls here” Grant signed.
　　“You can choose one for yourself if you like.” I said to him with smile.
　　“Good idea, I heard that in Arab, men could marry many times and had many wives, but girls could only marry once and have one husband. What a wonder! I would marry many times and have many beautiful wives here.” Grant said.
　　“I prefer a French wife, let alone who would marry a new comer.”

　　“If it was Phylix, many of them want.” Grant said. “Don’t you see that there were many girls gazed on Phylix. Hi Phy, the girl in pink green was smiling at you.”

　　I was flushed, in traditional Arabian way, the girls must wear a black mist on their face, but today, the king had ordered that all the girls would not wear the facial mist and dress themselves in colorful clothes. I had heard that the Arabian girls were all very shy and conservative, today I know it wasn’t ture, the Arabian girl could be so bold. Many girls were gazed on me. I know I am special in the foreign country, but I don’t feel easy when they see me in such a way.

　　I feel a eye light was very special between them, which was very hot, hot like flame which seemed to set me in fire, I searched along the eye light to search for the master of it, I found the man with the crown on the gold chair on the top of the stone step.

　　The eye light was very bold and impertinence, which seemed to invade my secrecy as if her eyelight could panerate my clothes and I am bare in front of him, he is a tall strong man with blazing eyes and thick curled black hair, another kind of handsome, virile, full of power and energy, male sexy. Like fire and steel, no man could feel easy in from such a man who is a born king.

　　But the way he saw me made me discomfortable. I feel hot in his eye light, I turned back to pretend to talk with my friends.

　　“have you see the girl in the purple chiffon, her eyes are very beautiful.” I said to Grant.

　　“she’s looking at you, I think she must like you.”

　　“Be quiet, the most important moment had came, the king had made his choice.” Wionnon said.

　　All people was looking at the top of the stone step, the king gave the gold crown to one of his servants, and see something on his ear, with his hand pointed to show who is the girl he chose for his queen.

　　Everybody held his breath.

　　The servant walked near to me.

　　People were all gazed on me.

　　It must be my illusion.
