The Lady or The Tiger
An ending that came to me right after I read the story.
Without hesitation he went to the door on the right. He looked back up at the princess and opened it. He was shocked to see a beautiful lady. He was certain that the door held the tiger. During the wedding he asked himself the same question over and over. Why did she want him to marry this woman?
The princess watched as the love of her life marries another. She wasn't sad in fact she was really the opposite. She had a plan that was fool proof, well hopefully fool proof. That night she waited in an old bar for the assassin. She had worn a big cloak with a hood to cover up her face. "Are you the one giving me the job?" He asked. She nodded and quietly told him what to do.
"But if you harm him anymore than what I told you to you will be facing tragic
consequences got it."
He nodded fearfully and left to go do the job. He quickly made his way to the man's house. He quietly looked in the window to see where they were at. The man was sleeping in the room while the woman quietly sat by the fire. He carefully made his way into the house and once inside swiped a few things and then bumped the table. He crouched by the door with his knife in his hand waiting for her to come investigate. Once she came into the room he attacked her. She had time for only one scream before she was vanquished. Then he threw the knife down and grabbed a stick and waited until the man came to see why she screamed. Luckily he didn't have to wait long. Once he saw his wife laying there dead he let out a gasp.
"The princess said to meet her tomorrow night at midnight in the outskirts of town. She also said sorry."
"Why?" The man said. His question never was answered though. Well not in words anyway because after that he was knocked out with the stick. The princess should be pleased with his work.
~At the arena~
"This man is here is on trial for murder and thievery!" The king roared.
The man in the arena had no problem with being here though. The princess had promised him that if he helped her she would tell him which door held the woman.
Once the king had given the signal to choose the door he looked up at the princess who flicked her left hand. He walked up and right before he opened the door a though occurred to him. What if she lied so he would get eaten and couldn't be tempted to tell anybody? So he changed his mind and chose the right door. Unfortunately he was dead wrong. He picked the tiger and was quickly devoured.
That night the princess met her lover on the outskirts of town and the two ran off and got married. The y lived long prosperous lives with three sons.
