"What is it, my lord?" Manoban's father asked, which was met with a wide grin from the city lord.
"I heard you have a daughter, and that she is beautiful." His words stunned both the husband and wife, who immediately began to wonder what the city lord was trying to achieve.
However, what the city lord said next stunned them. "I wish to marry your daughter."
Both the husband and wife thought he was merely asking for their daughter to spend some nights with him before he would use and discard her. But here the city lord was asking to marry Manoban.
This was surprising, but how could they agree to marry their young daughter to a man who was the same age as them, or even a little older?
