mysterious visitor

Alex, the son of Alejandro the first,wondered how his life came to be like this. He just married his eldest sister off to a well known village warrior but the bride price wasn't still enough to get the village back in order. His dead father left him with so much debt and after managing to pay them up he still has to take care of every one in the village including his 5 younger sisters. And just when he thought Maritza would marry her last suitor they discovered that he was a poor opportunist .A knock on the door broke his thought. '' Who is that" he barked. As the chief of the village he has not had a peaceful moment without interruption and it was already getting on his last nerve.

'' I'm sorry for disturbing u sir but there is a

man in torn wears asking to see u, can let him

in?. " maru his personal guard asked. he knew the mood his master is in and didn't want to disturb him.

" Do I have a choice let him in but tell him i would only give him 30minutes of my time and that's all"Alex had to bear the visit of every body from the village with complains. The door opened and Alex raised up his head and saw who walked in, he wasn't a familiar person at all, dressed in an odd peasant garment the stranger looked like he was from a different part of the world. He had a cloak over his head and half of his face was covered making it hard for him to be recognized. "Sit down, how can i help you. you have just 30mintues to state your case and leave i have so much to do ". The stranger took a step forward and Alex noticed he was limping. No this man is not from this village. "Good day, I'm Rashid from a village across the sea, I'm here to marry your sister Maritza " Rashid said still standing, from the look of things in this office maritza's brother won't hesitate to hand over his sister. The place needs a serious makeover and that would need money and that exactly what Rashid has to offer. he raised his hand and tightened the cloak, nobody must find out what he looks like until he has taken his wife." How dare you walk in here and ask for my sisters hand in marriage,your just a peasant and u want to marry the chiefs sister. your lucky I'm in such a good mood, your head would have been exactly where your legs are now"Alex anger was close to its boiling stage how dare this dirty pig walk in here and utter such rubbish. Rashid didn't even shake , he was more ill tempered and able bodied than Alex and even with his limp he can take down Alex anytime he just felt pity that his disguise misinterpreted his wealthy status." Here," he threw a big sack of coin on the table."the money there is 10times more than the dowry paid for your eldest sister and enough to renovate the castle and take care of other things just hand over your sister."The look of Alex face almost made Rashid laugh he looked like he has seen that much money all at the same time."All i want you to do is to make her sleep in your top chamber alone this night. there i will meet her and court her and take her home. I don't want any wedding ceremony". Alex was dumbfounded who the hell does this man think he is. Who moves around with this huge amount of money without fear, there is more behind his man and his proposal. But this money is just too big to refuse with it his problems can be solved."Have you met with my sister before,its obvious you would be able to take care of my sister but i have my own conditions. I have accepted your dowry but you must court my sister for 3days and in the fourth day you will marry her in our village chapel." "That's fine, peace be to u"Rashid said and left the room,he had other plans no body tells him what to do .Alex watched him leave with his mouth wide open. Who is this man with such guts he just has to find out more about him within this 3 day of courtship....
