The Lady Or The Tiger - My Ending

The ending

She had known what she would be asked, she had decided what she would answer, and, without the slightest hesitation, she had moved her hand to the right. Behind the right door was the most ferocious animal of all, waiting to be released from his restricted cage. For days and nights, she had dreamed about her man in the arms of another woman - precisely her nemesis . She was quite beautiful with her semi-bronzed skin, piercing blue eyes that froze you in place, captivated you in even the slightest moments. Was the lover strong enough to resist the empowering beauty of the girl behind the door? Never before was the princess suffused of such resentment that lead her to conduct her lover to his expiration. Next to her, the king contemplated him as he was deciding his fate. He was in no worry and rush because the options given behind the doors all lead to one destination : him being far away from his precious daughter. However , his majesty admired the subject's courage to dare love the princess considering his status in the hierarchy.

The young man never distrusted the princess because of their instantaneous bond which is only given to those whose souls are one. He could predict that on the other side of the door was the most gorgeous female maiden of the kingdom. Through their long intense stare, gazed by the impatient crowd, the lover got his sign and obeyed. It was his way to communicate his trust ;she could count on him to be forever faithful to her even with the unknown woman. Meanwhile, the lady behind the door awaited silently in prayers. She walked back and forth in a thinking pace , her face slackened, her brows furrow, eyes darted in worry if the door gets opened because that would define the end of her freedom . Among the royal orchestra, the lady encountered one of the instrumentalist. With his original and luscious melodies, played by his delicate hands on the golden keys, he had captured her heart . To each other, they were slaves,slaves of love and passion. For this reason, the lover had to open the tiger's door and set her free. She was not the narcissist type, yet her soul bleeded as she thinked of this forced marriage.

The amphitheatre was filled with impatient hearts, seeking their daily entertainment from the king's arena. Except one heart, that demanded the love of another : the lover's heart. She had eyes for him for years and years . Unfortunately for her, he had ignored her and felt in love with the emperor's daughter. Emotionless,dripping hot tears of sadness, she watched him advance to the right gate with her father by her side. He was indifferent about the lover , he believed the young boy is guilty to disobey the laws. As a father would , he supported his child in her distress.

Click, clack as the youth approached the door, slowly depose his sweaty palms on the door handle. He seized it and turned it. In a fraction of a seconds, jumps out a humongous animal, roaring in delight for his dinner. The lover trying to escape him, screams and shouts to his princess .Her watery eyes were locked in his, yet none raced down on her cheeks. Crying was a sign of weakness, as the daughter of a semi-barbaric king she was not to. The girl turned her face because of the slaughter happening in the arena was more than she could handle.She couldn't refuse her affection toward him , she really felt in love with him .
The wishes of the king, princess and the lady were answered exactly as they demanded. In the public, they were long jubilant yes and mourning nos. Amidst them, came a unceasing cry from where the lover's secret admirer was seated, she would wipe her tears yet they always find a way to reappear. Holded by her father, who was still neutral and had no interest in this ignorant boy; she questioned herself, how could the princess have not stop this incident? was she not in love with him? As for the semi-barbaric king , who had seen this scene daily, he felt a slight pain like a size of a garden pea in his soul. The poetic justice spoke for itself, the lover was guilty.

The kingdom continued on their occupations as if the lost of a citizen had never happened. The sun dissipated, a dark blue blanket had circumferenced the empire, the day came to its end. In the royal chamber, the guards heard the king's daughter screams and rushed to get to her. She had nightmares where she was standing in the arena and moving closer to a door. As the door gets opened, a tiger gently walks out to her until only a centimeter separates them. The tiger glared her, then brusquely attacks her by her throat. The princess recognized the dream with one difference, she was the subject. Were the gods the source of those horrifying dreams to deliver her a message? The princess never knew the answer and never lived in peace because every night reappeared the beast, repeating " Today is your trial. You have been found guilty"
