Prepare her

Pa walked to the compound with his smile almost reaching his ears.

"Husband why is your smile this wide" ma asked.

Pa took his seat and said "I got the land I told you about. The man said the King has no use with it and as such he won't need it so I can go on and own the land" he explained

Ma was shocked that so easily Pa had gotten land from the Demon King.

she did not look happy and said "are you sure that is all it takes. That King of ours is not that charitable that he gives such a huge potion of land."

Pa smiled and said "wife I understand how you feel, I felt the same way when he told me I can have the land. I tried digging out his reason then he told me that the King will be visiting our moon festival and will choose one of our maidens for his wife search. His already chosen from the other Villages and will come chose from our village. The hole village is to attend and every maiden who has bleed for 4 years plus must participate in the Moon dance to be selected" he explained.

Ma looked at him and said "Eboti has bleed for 4 years plus, is she going to take part in the moon dance" ma asked with a worried look

Pa took a deep breath and said "Asek... she would have to take part in the moon dance,

she is ripe for marriage. You know we have to marry her off soon so why not let her do the moon dance who knows maybe she would meet the her husband there" Ozu explained to his wife and could only hope that she understand that no matter how long the keep their daughter she would have to meet her husband someday and go away from them.

Asek gave a heavy sigh and said "ok then we should prepare her for the moon dance. I will make sure she looks more beautiful than every other maiden, she will definitely fine her husband there I mean she is so beautiful naturally I mean her curves are divine I get scared anytime I send her out of the house cause I don't trust this boys, my daughter Is just too beautiful" she said proudly and her husband added

"sure she is so radiant, her skin is the darkest of brown and soft too, the way she carries herself with that small waist of hers like a Queen. If not that she is my daughter I would have taken her for a second wife" he said the realised he crossed the line.

Turning to his wife he saw her swollen expression and got scared. He reached out to hold her but she hit his hand and said "your not working on me tonight" she woke up and went into their room.
