King Thrushbeard part 3

So Orchid new life began, with a splash, soundly slept she, Dandy watched sighed just too peaceful, “what the…” 
“Now, now language dear!” laughed Dandy holding an empty bucket, she did look good wet. 

“So how are your at cooking, cleaning or washing clothes?” 
“Brilliant I would give orders & it be done” 
“Uhhh ok” Dandy thought thoughtfully 
“How about making baskets or spinning thread?” 
“Are you kidding? Just get the merchants in; and than call for the tailors for the perfect fit” Dandy appeared to grow angry. 
“This is no good at all” he said we have to make a living… 
“Ok I’ll buy some pots and you can sell them in the market. You should be able to do that!” 
“But some one who knows me might see me! Wailed Orchid 
“So they might,” replied the Dandy with a smile 

In fact Orchid did well at her stall. A pretty face does wonders; people were pleased to buy from her. She and her Dandy had enough money for sometime. She noted how customers spoke, and their clothes, their something not quite right about Dandy. In this time period Dandy noticed she had become more amiable and took interest in those she interacted with. 

Orchid as usual, set up her stall on a corner. Before the hour had passed, a runaway chariot crashed in to the stall and broke every pot that she had. Dandy found her in tears “no worries found u a post; as kitchen maid at the palace. They will feed you and you can bring home food for scraps for me too.” 
At this point Orchid Retaliated “ and what dare say, you going to do with your spare time? 
”What exactly is it you do While am… “ She trailed off. Dandy tried to comprehend her quietness 
“I take it your in agreement” he Questioned 
“Yeah what ever” 
Stormed off thinking bleep… 
So the princess, work hardest with scowl 
The king came out of their ballroom. This time she time she recognised the face, 
Came straight toward her and swept her into a dance. He indicated for the others to leave. 
“Don’t be angry,” he said humbly 
“I know u guessed, yes am Dandy the beggar whom you married,” 
“Why?” she asked 
“Because you came across arrogant, cold” 
“Really I take it first impression count?” 
“Did it actually ever occur.” she smiled and continued 
“. To your bird brain that after suitor No… lost count to be honest. 
That am limited in what am able to ask? 
Before the other suitors begin to copy answers? 
Appearance alone is not good indicator of good character” 
“ What do you make of my character? Queried King Thrush beard 
“Your subjects speaks well of you” 
“ And you Orchid” as he came closer 
“Stop right their” as she held one had to his chest, and the other rummaging through her pockets and took out the razor 
“Will u oblige me? Both locked eyes and burst out laughing…
