The trial for her hand

Summary

Jason loves Neri but is love possible when they come from two different planets?

The trial for her hand

Jason had trouble admitting it, but he loves Neri. He wants to marry her when the time is right. But is love possible when they come from two different planets? Yes, Neri has spent most of her life on Earth, but she's from the Ocean Planet. Plus, she's a princess. Jason isn't a nobleman.

As dark thoughts fill his mind, Neri comes to talk to him.

"You... are troubled."

"Yes. I mean, no, I..."

"Jason. I love you."

"What? Did I hear that right?"

"Yes. I love you. Do you love me?"

"Of course I love you! But..."

"But what?"

"You're from another planet and you're a princess, a future queen. You probably can't choose who you spend your life with."

"I can, but... the man has to be able to do it."

"The man has to be able to do what?"

"I'm not allowed to tell you more. It's a kind of trial. On the Ocean Planet, only the man who wins this challenge can ask for the princess's hand in marriage."

"Well, I'll pass that trial! But how can I do it without knowing what it's all about?"

Against all odds, Neri kisses Jason. Jason blushes.

"You'll know when the time is right." Neri says, walking away.

It was all very mysterious, but Jason is happy. Neri loves him, and no matter what this challenge is, he's going to succeed and marry her!
