Curate, connect, and discover
I decided to write a little scene from a story I'm thinking about writing. Let me know if you would like to see more!
Her ears were burning, purple was beginning to spread across them like a wildfire as she stared at the preposterous male in front of her. He hated her, he had since the moment they met. She had believed that it was his hate for her that made him deny his brother's love for her. And now he tells her that she is too good for him? Her mind raced with memories from not so long ago.
"You called me a pig!"
He moved to her side, looking down at her as he spoke,
"Most certainly. Though do not be mistaken I only mean in regards to your attitude and dress. Your air is that of low born stock, but your family have climbed the social ranks quite impressively, and are of high intelligence, higher than even that of many in my own family, I can admit that. But that does not nullify the fact that your attitude is that of, in simple words, an overzealous heifer."
Her mouth fell open, red eyes staring at the male in front of her,
"A heifer!"
He continued unfazed,
"Beyond that you are quite beautiful," his voice lowered" More beautiful than the Earthen swan, I believe the expression is."
She blinked at him a few times, "You misspeak."
"I do not exaggerate," he lifted her head, two fingers placed underneath her chin, "You will make a wonderful wife," he paused as he moved away, his perfectly plucked eyebrow coming to an arch,
"For some crazen male."
He began to walk away, his back turned to her. She called out desperate for answers,
"Then why do you keep me from your brother if you think so lowly of him?"
He paused once again and turned to face her,
"It is for simple reason that I think so lowly of him that I do keep you away from him. You are much too good for him," he lifted his head in thought, "Though a slime would be too good for him."
She stared slacked jawed, as the Patriarch's son bowed his head and turned on his heel, taking his leave.
The nerve of that man. She could hardly believe it.
