"So, are you still willing to face this with me?" She looked straight at me.
I nodded. "Of course, a young and handsome prince rescuing a beautiful princess from the clutches of an evil dragon will surely become a legend."
"Do you always praise yourself like this?" She teased. "Why don't you take off the mask? Let me see how handsome this prince really is!"
I felt a pang in my heart, knowing she would bring this up this time.
Luckily, I had already figured out what to do on the way here.
"Are you so eager already?" I asked.
She gave me a look. "Are you taking it off or not?"
"I'm a bit nervous," I said. "Although I am very confident in my looks."
"If you say so, I'm even more curious to see!"
"Then close your eyes!"
She smiled and closed her eyes. I quickly blew out the candle, lifted her, and carried her into the room. It was pitch black inside, and I pulled down the mask. "Take a look!"
"It's so dark. How can I see?"
"Then use your hands to feel."
