The Woman From Hell

What he said woke me up.

I smiled at him. "Don't worry, I have a plan."

The next day, I was going to use the cosmetics the old hag brought to do my makeup. Although the products looked like they had been used by other people, there was no other way. I had to make do with them.

I roughly put on some light makeup and my whole complexion became quite different from before. When I walked out of the room, the old hag was amazed. She looked me over and could not stop her admiration. "Sure enough, you look different after putting on makeup."

"I was afraid I'd gotten rusty after not wearing makeup for a long time, so I did a quick practice. It's just light makeup. I'll do better on my wedding day."

The old hag clapped her hands. "That's great, that's great. You're already very beautiful, much better than the Jarns' bride."

This was exactly what I wanted to hear. I covered my mouth and chuckled. "Am I prettier than she was on her wedding day?"

"Of course, you're so much prettier." The old hag was a little proud when she replied to me as if I had won honor for them.
