Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl born to Jacob and Maria, the good kind and queen of the land of Ariah. One day when this girl was eight years old she was kidnapped from the castle by some evil gypsies who were passing through the village. The king and queen were devastated. they mourned for many days until a woodcutter, longing for peace in his country, and a better life for his daughter offered her to the king and queen to raise as the lost princess for the good of the country. They accepted and soon the woodcutter's young daughter was growing up as a princess. Her father became the palace gardener and when she wasn't at her studies she chose to spend most of her time with him. But she also loved her adopted parents very much, too.
When she turned 17 years old the law required she must marry in the next year for the good of the country. At first the princess did not want to but after several months of thinking about it she realized that as a princess it was her purpose to live her life for the betterment of her countrymen. Princes came through the country seeking her hand. Instead of looking for a man she would like, she looked for a good man who would lead their country well. She finally found such a man, he was Prince David of Saarsae. He had dark brown hair and a smile which was slow to start, but charming and warm. As she got to know Prince David she found herself falling in love with his deep green eyes, his warm touch, and his soft, but strong, and comforting voice.
About a week before they were to be married, news sprang out all over the kingdom, "The princess has been found. This one is just a woodcutter's daughter!" The real princess was on her way back home from a faraway land where she had been sold as a slave. The people of the town grew uneasy every day the real princess got closer. Some people camped outside the castle, the crowd steadily growing larger, day by day. The king and queen feared for their adopted daughter's life so they sent for the woodcutter. Without anything else to be done they sent the woodcutter and his daughter away in disguises with provisions.
To be continued...
