Thread: Greed, At Times, Is Good (Lila Lupin & Erit of Eastcris)

RE Greed, At Times, Is Good Lila Lupin Erit of Eastcris Laressa gave a heavy sigh as she tried to pull away from him, but it was al in vain. She was already as far from him as she could possibly be. She tried to stay as calm as she could in this moment. Her heart was obviously hurting from this whole ordeal for multiple reasons. Being taken from her parents hurt a great deal, being forced into a marriage that she had no say in stung. However the thing that upset her most was perhaps the fact that it seemed as though she would be stuck in a loveless marriage. She had grown up watching her parents, and dreaming of having that kind of relationship. Her parents loved one another greatly, even with the thought of greed taking their only daughter they still loved one another. Her mother could have easily left her father and taken Laressa with her in some vain attempt to save her daughter from this fate, but they held strong through all of it. Laressa used to dream of having that kind of love when she was younger, but had resigned herself to the fate of being married to a demon. She had jus really began to hope that she might have, by some miracle, been freed from the arrangement. However this was not the case. She took a moment to calm herself as she listened to his words. She dried her tears with the back of her hand before turning to face him. And can you promise me love? She asked him with every bit of seriousness she could muster. Would you allow me to visit with my family. Her eyes seemed almost hurt as she spoke. This may be hard for you to understand, but not everyone wishes for material things. She sighed. You say I'll never wan for anything, but how true is that really. Growing up in my home I never wanted for anything save one thing. She said with a deep breath. I used to dream of the day I'd be married, even after coming to understand that they were merely dreams. She gave a sad smile at the thought. I thought about planning the wedding, and picking colors. I'd give great detail to the guest list and all the arrangements. She looked up for a moment as she tried to blink away the tears once more. And the dress would be the best part. I'd invite all of my friends and my parents would be there to watch the beginning of my new life. She huffed a little at the idea knowing it held no relevancy now. My new life with a man that I loved. Her voice grew shaky and quiet with her next words. With a man that loved me. She had only wanted what so many little girls did. But you are concerned with only material wealth. You speak as though every little gift or thing you could provide me would make it all better. She scoffed a bit a the thought. My heart aches, not just at the loss of my 'old life' as you call it, but at the thought of the future before me. She took a deep breath. You, kind sir, are hollow. You may have every thing you could possibly desire but there's still something missing. Being a noblewoman of hell means nothing to me. The only good thing from this I that you are not overly cruel, and perhaps not even intentional when you are. She said as she looked away from him again.
