If only one could choose whom they marry, and if only one were not born into a royal family where marriage had to be for political gain. 

This was how Dalia was set to marry a man from a faraway land, a man rumored to be a monster who always wore a mask to cover his ugly face.

Married To The Masked King

Dalia and Verina had just bought some shiny beads from a stall. The vendor had a full gray beard and a bald head.

His words were charming enough to draw anyone in, and his eyes were kind enough to make you want to buy, even if you didn't intend to.

Although the jewelry had a fine taste that would captivate you, both girls were mesmerized by the many things being sold.

They couldn't help but pass from stall to stall, admiring from afar, even though they didn't make any purchases. It wasn't that they didn't have money to buy; it was just that Dalia had suggested they save some for the upcoming festival.

She mentioned that there might be even finer things on display then. So, for now, the two sisters happened to walk from stall to stall, completely mesmerized by the fine items being sold.

Many stall owners would call out to them to come have a look at what they were selling.
