He smiled a bit. “Well Sonya, I’ll confess something myself. In all of my years, I’ve never had a bride before you. I always looked at women as useless, and mindless animals. When asked to create one, I went off of my opinion on women… thus we have Mileena. Anyways, when I first met you I admired your spirit. You knew who you were, and you weren’t weak minded. I’ll even say you had the strongest mind out of any of the other Earthrealm denizens I encountered. That’s why I made you my bride, but I have a feeling you knew that. I know it isn’t the marriage that you imagined as a child, but for me… it has been better than I had ever thought marriage could be.”
Shang Tsung stopped speaking, and felt suddenly vulnerable. He quickly put his barrier back up.
