I saw a candle, dimly lighting the dark room around me. My clothes were changed, with somewhat translucent silk, I felt an itch on my forehead and realized it was some sort of bandana made out of wines.
“I should have run away” I contemplated. Everything in this world seemed to be out to get me. Maybe these elves don’t understand or believe humans at all, maybe I should have never lost my composure around them. But what could be the reason to tie me down, I helped their princess, were they going to sacrifice me or something. I started to move my hands tied using vines to break apart, but suddenly they started to get hot, like molten iron hot!!! And when I stopped struggling, they tied around wrists tighter but stopped being hot so it was much more bearable.
“a groom shouldn’t be so much resisting ARC, its very unbecoming” the voice unmistakeably belonged to lady violet and as she stepped into the light of the candle, I questioned her
“What did I ever do to you, I am not here to harm you just let me go peacefully”
“But what about your reward”
“You can keep the sword please”
“Was that your whole reward?”
As she said that I realized wort saying something about giving me the princess. But I didn’t ask for her so why am I being tied down.
“I didn’t ask for the princess, I just wanna go”
“We know you didn’t, but you will bear responsibility nonetheless.” As she said that I wondered what would bring such a development. So, I asked her “can you please explain”
And then she told me the whole affair “doesn’t lily look different than us,” well I guessed she did with that great chest and pinkish tinge all over her clear skin, she also wasn’t blonde. Then lady violet explained “she was born out of a peace treaty between dark and light elves, but some years before the treaty fell out when her father, the then village chief bedded another light elf, it makes sense Afterall, how could the chief love a filthy dark elf; after this came to light, there was a war among the two villages where the light elves won and in the roan forest region today there is only one filthy half-dark elf remaining, ‘lily.’

“Then why don’t you kill her why marry her off to me”
“Trash should stay together, you both would suit each other, the elf conduct doesn’t allow us to kill even a half elf princess but we can get rid of her and still keep true to our testaments if we marry her off to you” she said while smiling menacingly.
These elitist elf bastards wiped off an entire village, guess this is what they call an orthodox belief. My goal right now should be to get out of here so I phrase my next statement accordingly “if I go long with this would you let me go safely?
“of course,”
“Then let’s get this over with”
“I can’t believe how easily you agreed, humans really are a slave to carnal desires, I don’t believe how easily you are willing to touch that filthy body or spent your life with her. YOU HORNDOG!!!!”
“Nope, I just wanna get out soon” as I presented my wish to get out sooner, I heard some footsteps, “lady violet, they are ready, let’s go” a male elf shouted.
As I was being taken to the aisle, lily the princess was dressed in similar getup, but I could tell tears running down her face, by how much she hated what was happening. As I stood before her, I was asked to raise my hand to hers.
Then wort ordered “lilyann, make the vow”
“I vow to be a dutiful and faithful wife”
As she tearingly completed her vow, our hands were enveloped in sudden light, it was warm for me but rather painful for her, maybe because I didn’t say a vow too.
“It is done, now go out into the world arc and lilyann”
“Wait no wedding night here?” I asked
“Fuck off out of here” the chief who was rather warm in the beginning suddenly handed me a bag with my new sword and my clothes and threw us off ordering not to ever come back.
“I am sorry for what happened to you because of me” lily was teary and it was very dark, I guessed these elves always wanted to get rid off her but held back due to orthodox belief.
“Do you have somewhere to go” as she hated being tied to me, I guessed she wouldn’t like being around me.
“I can’t, the spirit vow to be your wife is absolute and would kill me if I fail as your wife now.” She was panicked and in tears. I took her hand and started walking on the path, the chief had told me about path to daph city so I started walking. After much time we decided to take a stop under a tree. I took out a sheet and started to make a makeshift tent. “I will start a fire” lily was trying her best to help me and I knew the vow did not allow us to part with each other so do best with what you have.
Me and lily decided to change these wedding clothes, and as I came near the fire lily came into the light, she was wearing a chest-plate under her robe, her ears covered with a white bandana and some pearls adored the cloth, she quickly put on her hoodie and we rested inside the tent till first light hit my face in the morning. It was time to resume the journey to ‘roan’
