She begs to see them, but her husband replies that it would not be wise to do so. She lives happily with him, never seeing him, until one day he tells her that her sisters have been crying for her. At night, in the dark, she meets and falls in love with her husband. Going inside, she relaxes and enjoys fine food and luxurious treatment. When she wakes up, she discovers a stunning mansion. Psyche bravely follows the instructions and falls asleep on the hill. Psyche's father prays to Apollo for help, and Apollo instructs her to go to the top of a hill, where she will marry not a man but a serpent. Meanwhile, Psyche and her family become worried that she will never find a husband, for although men admire her beauty, they always seem content to marry someone else. But when Cupid sees Psyche in her radiant glory, he shoots himself with the arrow instead. She instructs her son, Cupid, to pierce the girl with an arrow and make her fall in love with the most vile, hideous man alive.
