Mackis, a man of charismatic allure, was captivated by the sight of Elise, the most exquisite woman he had ever seen. They looked like a pair of beautiful beings, perfectly at home in this artistically crafted paradise. 


 "Let us marry now," he proposed, his eyes pleading. 


 "Are you truly asking me to be your wife?" She asked in disbelief. The man who was pursued by every eligible lady in the royal and noble pavilions was proposing to a woman cursed with a disfigured face. 


 “Will you agree?” He asked, his charm irresistible.
