Love Beyond the Abyss

General MacAllister demanded to marry Isabel Warren, who had been a military courtesan in Hell's Pit for three years.
She had long been tortured into mental instability, acquiring a host of vices.
She loved to hide things and would scream loudly whenever anyone approached.
One of her legs was lame, causing her to stumble as she walked.
I reminded him, 'General, marrying such a wife will invite ridicule from everyone.'
Ethan Graves smiled back at me, 'Matron, she is Belle.'
Of course, I knew she was Belle.
Once upon a time, she was the most talented beauty in the capital.
But that was three years ago.
