A True Fairy Tale?
Once upon a time in the far far away beautiful kingdom of Crakocia there lived a beautiful Princess. She was loved far and wide by all of the subjects in the kingdom. They adored her and cherished her. But the Princess wasn't truly happy. She knew that her true love was out there beyond the castle walls someplace waiting for her.
One day a brave and powerful knight rode up to the castle gates. The Princess fell immediately and totally in love with the charming knight. She had found her true love. Her one and only true love. The handsome knight courted the beautiful maiden both from near and from afar. They planned to wed and live happily ever after.
The Princess approached the King and the Queen with her wishes. The King gave his blessing somewhat reluctantly but gave it none the less.
The Queen said, "Princess, the royal clock makers love you dearly and would want to give you a gift of a beautiful clock for your new home. You can't wed until they finish your gift."
So the Princess went to the handsome knight and told him of the clock.
"I will wait." he said.
When the clock was finished the Queen again approached her daughter. "The royal carriage makers love you dearly and want to give you a beautiful carriage as a wedding gift. You can't wed until the carriage is finished."
So the Princess went to the handsome knight and told him of the carriage.
"I will wait." he said.
When the carriage was completed the Queen again addressed the Princess. "Daughter, the royal book binders love you dearly and want to give you a beautiful gilded book as a wedding gift. You can't be wed until the gilded book is finished."
So the Princess went to the handsome knight and told him of the gilded book.
"I will wait." he said.
This went one for quite some time. As one gift would be finished, another would be started. The years slowly passed. All the while the handsome knight waited. He waited and waited.
One cold rainy day vagabonds and villains attacked the knight on his way to the castle to check on the progress of the newest gift. The handsome knight was gravely wounded in the battle. He died before anyone could come to his aid.
The Princess was told of the knights death. She stood crying alone in the great castle jealously and selfishly loved and cherished by all those who surrounded her but not ever knowing true love in the arms of her handsome knight. She had waited too. Waited, trying to please everyone and all. The citizens of Crakocia rejoiced because they still had their beautiful Princess to love and cherish. But in spite of all the love that surrounded her there would never be rejoicing in the heart of the beautiful Princess. She lived un-happily ever after.
The End
