"Isn't that something you ask a couple who just started dating?" Rael tilted his head. "We're already married, you know?"
"So?" Simon shrugged. "It's a valid question, Rael. What exactly did you see in my daughter that made you want to marry her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rael shot a quick glance toward Zafira, who obviously avoided his gaze.
It seemed like she forgot to mention the part where she sprung the marriage on him, leaving him with very limited choices other than to accept.
But for appearance's sake...
"I fell for her at first sight," Rael said with a smile. "Her way of doing things and the authority she exudes while doing them, captivated me. Her gentle but deadly personality especially caught my eye. I could go on and on... but it all comes down to the same thing. I love her."
"Hmm..." Simon put a hand over his chin in thought. "I've searched far and wide for you, but I couldn't even find a trace of your birth. Where are you from, Rael?"
