The Doubt in her Heart
The following days passed in full joy and Lucy could not remember a happier time in her life. However, as the days went by, she started feeling sad that she could not see her husband. Moreover, she was left alone all day and boredom filled her heart. Suddenly, she started missing her family; she thought they must have been mourning for her while she was alive and having the time of her life.
One night after making love she asked
"Oh my love, let me see your face for once. Is a mortal one like me isn't good enough to see my most beloved immortals face?
Leo was saddened at her word's. He held her in his arms and caressed her golden hair.
My love , is the love we share not enough? Flirting, spending time at night and making love to cherish our moment. Your the most beautiful woman I've ever asked for . But I'm requesting you to not see my face or attempt. Lucy apologized and then leaned into his arm to rest
"But I'll say one thing, my hair color is reddish brown, almost red like the sun with gold hints."
Lucy smiled to a little about her husband's look.
"I bet you're handsome as much as your hair"
They laughed and he said
"Oh yes I'm so handsome that girls used fawn on me. "
Lucy got a little jealous and replied
"But now you belong to me and I won't let any of those girls fawn on you. "
"Someone's jealous."said Leo
"Isn't it my right to be as your wife? "said Lucy.
"Yes it is. " Leo kissed her forehead and caressed her golden hair like little kitten would play with ribbons.
Lucy longer to see Leo's but she respected his opinion.
That night, Lucy asked her mysterious husband to grant her a favor. She wanted her two sisters to come up to the palace and make sure that she was fine as that would be a comfort for her old parents. Her husband refused at first, but when he realized how sad Lucy was, he told her: "I will allow your sisters to come up here, but I am warning you, do not let them influence you. If they do, by their influence,you might destroy our relationship and suffer a lot.I just want you to be strong if negative words harm on you. "
On the next day, her two sisters, carried by the wind, came up to the stunning residence. They were all thankful to see each other and cried in happiness. However, when they entered the palace, the two older sisters, Jennie and Flare were amazed by all the treasures. Envy was flourishing in their heart and an irresistible curiosity to know how rich the husband of Lucy is . They kept asking the poor girl questions about his looks and occupation. Yet, Lucy didn't tell the truth and responded that her spouse was a young hunter.
Of course, the two women didn't believe her. "How could a simple hunter be so rich? He must be a prince or even a spirit" they thought. They realized that, compared to Lucy, their own wealth and happiness were nothing at all. Consumed by jealousy, they came up with a plan to hurt their sister. When their time to leave comes, they forced Lucy, after bullying her, to reveal her husband's true identity, as, according to Crux's oracle, her husband might be an ugly monster serpent that probably wants to devour her and her child. and that's why he takes such good care of her. So they told her to take dagger and candlelight to see whether her husband is an ugly serpent or not. If he is, then she will have to kill him. If he's not, no harm.
