[ WP ] Due to a misunderstanding the hero arrives at the tower , defeats the princess , and marries the dragon .

It was hard to tell who was the princess and who was the dragon. 
 
 Not for the first time that day, Reis wished he had paid better attention to his mother. And that he was n't more than a little hungover. 
 
 Two women stood before him, of equal height and slender waists. The differences between them were all aesthetics. One had hair of deep violet, then other of sky blue. Eyes of blue and eyes of green. Fair and dark or dark and fair. 
 
 Looking at them made his head pound. A dragon's trick, Reis was sure. 
 
 He did n't have a picture of the princess to check against. He had lost his commlink on the trek up to the tower. Mainly because it involved several skirmishes with the local flora. Man-eater flowers had taken root in the forest near the tower. A discovery he made while puking in the bushes. 
 
 They had been waiting for him just past the foyer. And he had been staring for a couple minutes now, dripping plant slime onto the marble floor. 
 
 The blue-haired girl rolled her eyes and the violet one sighed. 
 
 Reis, tired, undiplomatic Reis, made a split-second decision. He drew his plasma-edged sword and chopped off the blue haired girl's head. 
 
 Violet sighed again. 
 
 `` That was the princess, you know,'' she said. 
 
 Reis gaped a bit at this. 
 
 `` But... but she rolled her eyes at me.'' 
 
 `` I did n't realize that was a killable offense now.'' 
 
 Reis sheathed his sword. 
 
 `` Congratulations,'' he said, pressing a hand to his temple, `` you've just been made a princess...'' 
 
 A small lifted the corner of her mouth. 
 
 `` and my wife.'' 
 
 The corner drooped, and her equally violet eyebrows scrunched together. 
 
 This was the worst marriage his mother had arranged for him yet.
