Inspite of the things she had gone through in this village she had a very hopeful aura about her. She seemed content with the situation. I mean of course she had no choice but to go along with what we wanted but she seemed happy.
What a strange woman.

My eyes met his but I didn't respond.
Though there were still so many uncertainties, but I hoped this bet the prince was making proved fruitful.
