The Monster's Bride
I have one request, please "I said but he said nothing .
"Can I see your face?"I asked.
"Why ?"He asked.
"We're married. I should at least see the face of the man am married to" I said.
"Is my face the reason your sister refused to marry me instead?"He asked and I shook my head.
"Not at all . I willingly came here, I don't even think a good to do man is gonna come for me anyway . My sister is prettier and more skilled than I "I said.
"In other words, your king sent the ugly and unskilled daughter to me" He said.
"You've misunderstood. Am not ugly neither am I unskilled. My sister just happens to have more of it and my father isn't aware am here in place of my sister. I wonder how you found out "I said with a raised eyebrow.
"Go to sleep, Avery. it's late already "He said and I sighed in relief .
"Your face?"I asked.
"Its up to me to show you my face "He said and I nodded. I removed my bangles and ornaments and dropped them on the table then turned to see a handsome man with blue coloured eyes. How long did it take the gods to sculpt his face, his face looked so smooth and without a single boil.
"Can I touch your face?"I asked.
"You didn't let me touch you "He said and I chuckled .
"How about we just touch our faces"I said and he scoffed.
"I can't spare you after touching your face alone" He said and I nodded.
"How come you're handsome?"I asked and he raised an eye brow .
"I mean. You're supposed to be ugly" I said.
"Is that what you were expecting?"He asked.
"No. I meant everyone said you were ugly and your face is filled with boils and you're crippled too "I said.
"So?"He asked.
"You don't have any of that "I replied.
"So what lesson did you just learn now?"He asked.
"Don't believe what people say without seeing for yourself "I replied.
"You didn't even state it right but that's by the way. Go to bed now" He said.
"Are we going to sleep on the same bed ?"I asked.
"Aren't we married?"He asked.
"Yeah . We are but sleeping on the same bed this night? I think we're rushing things "I said.
"No one told me king Lazarus has a parrot for a daughter "He said and I frowned .
"I don't talk much. Am just surprised by the turn of events. If anyone told me last week that am gonna be married this week I would have called the person a joker "I said.
"I see. So what were you intending to do with that dagger ?stab me to death?"I asked.
"Nah. I just wanted to scare you off but I don't know how you found out "I said and he chuckled. Even his chuckle is handsome as well. His black hair complements his handsome face.
"I found out my dagger was missing the moment I came into the room . Who else will have it but a girl scared her husband will force himself on her "He asked and I smiled .
"I love your vibe "I said shamelessly.
"I let you see myself for a night and it got you drooling and loving my vibe. If I let you see it for a week then you'll wish I was your baby sitter " He said.
"Your face ain't that handsome. I have a male friend that is way more handsome than you. You're gonna drool if you see him and wish he will be your bride" I said and the door suddenly opened.
"That's enough talking for the night. Sleep" He said, my eye lid turned heavy and I lost consciousness.
