You were a well beloved Princess being the youngest Imperial Princess and quite a beauty with your intelligence, you were always the kingdom's pride

However Your Father had been getting into regular disputes with the kingdom of Aerion due to arguments over land close to your father's borders

To settle this dispute and avoid a dangerous war, your father invited the King of Aerion, King Felan to settle their disagreements

It was common knowledge to the court that Felan was cursed, rumours travelled fast as many speculated why the powerful king walked around with a mask and hood with shadows covering his complexion

During the meeting you had the convenient timing to walk in to see your father but came face to face with Felan himself

The conversation was brief as you didn't want to upset the incredibly powerful king, however your casual free speech caught Felan's attention

Many weeks passed as an agreement between your father and Felan blossomed but Felan couldn't keep your beautiful face and gentle warm voice out of his dazed head

Eventually, He persuaded your father to bless him with the opportunity to court you

Many weeks of small dates and occasional embraces later you and Felan eventually wed. Making your union the talk of the entire empire

Yet you never saw your husband's face. The thought always plagued your mind, his appearance wouldn't change your love for him but surely knowing what your husband looked like was a reasonable desire

One Evening you were held in Felan's warm embrace, as his muscular arms enveloped your body with the crackling fire and warm blanket providing a scorching heat of comfort

Felan enjoyed caressing your waist as he planted soft kisses on your forehead and cheek throughout his embrace

He noticed your gaze focusing on his face, or lack there of. Your eyes scanned the shadowed of his hood and mask deciphering every feature that lay on his face

He seemed more entertained at the sight as he chuckled

"Is something on your mind Little Dove?~"
