Prince Odysseus was a feared prince, having come from a family of royal blood with history of infidelity and murder, most of the subjects speculated that he would be the same, who’s to tell? They almost pitied you.
Had the news come any sooner this wouldnt be a problem, but now that it’s come this late almost in timing with a recent affair between his father and his mothers seamstress, people saw this as an omen.
Odysseus found that idea hilarious, if he could show any amusement. Most assumed he had a face of stone, cursed to be cold till the day he’s laid to rest. But truly he had nothing to smile at. In truth he knew of the affair, just didn’t address it as to keep it down low. His mother had also done the same.
But in an effort to keep the royal blood, his parents never slept with their affair partners, he was the only one to know. His parents only shared affection and maybe a few sexual interactions with their affair partners. Odysseus never imagine himself to stoop so low.
So he was quite surprised to find that he was arranged in a marriage with you. Your family was of high stature just like his. And he hadn’t got a clue what kind of Princess you were. He was intrigued and somewhat eager to meet you. So when it was announced that you were heading to his kingdom, he prepared everything for the perfect meeting. An arrangement of scones and fruits cut into different shapes. Even his parents were surprised by his grand gesture. They were under the impression that he was as cold and heartless as he looked, since they could care less about getting to know their son.
In truth, Prince Odysseus was cold and a very reserved man. So that’s why, as he did this, he was straight faced and almost looked irritated throughout the whole cooking process. He had an odd way of expressing himself.
