Check out my previous blog to know more about the story.
…………. The room was so spacious and lavish, yet he felt a sense of loneliness and sadness in the room. In the middle of the room there was a huge bed in which a beautiful lady was sleeping. Not a sleeping lady but a lady who was forced to sleep for years under the enchantment by a terrible enchanter who separated her from her lover, Florimond. Suddenly a large eagle cracked one of the walls and came into the room and handed him a golden feather. The prince rubbed the feather into the lady's face, and she woke up thus breaking the enchantment. The lady was awake and thanked the prince for breaking the enchantment.
Turns out that the lady was actually a fairy and as a reward of breaking the enchantment she asked him for a wish which shall be fulfilled. Instead of asking a wish for himself, the prince wished the fairy to get back to her lover, Florimond as after all these years being in enchantment, she still uttered the name of her lover always. Impressed by the fairy herself, she appreciated Prince Peerless for his noble nature and removed the horn above his head forever and released him from the captivity to a pleasant place. The fairy also added that the place awaits his glorious destiny. Within a flash of light, the prince found himself in a beautiful wood far away from his father's kingdom.
In the meanwhile, Princess Sunbeam whom he was supposed to have married was forcefully sent to the kingdom for the wedding to take place. But the princess bravely said to the king that she wouldn't marry a person she does not know, much less love. The king who became furious sent the princess to the other side of the prison in which the prince was kept. The princess too spent her days in the tower by visiting the libraries and galleries when one day she too found the strange thing that the prince once found - the moving images. Those images led her to a room where all the exquisite treasures such as golds, diamonds, rubies were kept. Princess Sunbeam was so confused as how anyone didn't notice these treasures after 200 years. Everything in that room was made of gold and expensive jewels. There she found out a golden large key next to a golden locker. As soon as she opened the locker, she found a crown and a lady's voice was heard. The voice told her that the crown belongs to her beloved Florimond. She also told to keep the crown under her pillow and hand it over to an eagle that would be visiting her soon and her beloved would be delivered from the curse. The voice also warned her to give the crown to the large eagle and not anyone else. The princess did everything as told and waited for three nights and three days. Then came the fourth night, when at her window……………………………………… (will be continued).
What did she see? Did someone else came in place of the eagle and took away the crown? Whom does the crown belong to actually? Where is Prince Peerless?
