It was the fairy 3902a8337e godmother. The terrifying witch. Her voice thundered 443f78c62b down like lightning, 474d30fa3f striking the tops f694682cc5 of their heads.826562e661cfe3b7

From the depths of 719f3c3c45 the swamp, thick purple c4927162b5 vines of thorny lotus afa175e57d shoots sprouted rapidly. The tough vines f9ba0410e1 tangled tightly around 2260de0ee2 the Prince and 692d406bca the wizard’s arms ad98b624fe and legs. Holding the wizard’s arm ca574b5bfe firmly with his left 30fb597a50 hand, the Prince gripped a02b2d865f his sword with his 7a877ead05 right. The white 33c1df68f1 blade, finally 0eac1030a0 free from d7912ae7e4 its sheath, b03d721071 gleamed as 91161e361c if rejoicing. With the cursed 2a3a9b4d37 sword, the Prince 10979138b1 slashed through the e6f8b30194 vines binding them. He cut through the 2b63e46bf9 thorny brambles blocking their a6740313f6 path and the tree 89a3d5f1dc branches reaching down from f73b2f51f4 above. But no matter how d301445356 much he slashed, no 374649870a matter how many times df6a60806d he cut… the swamp 5c30392ecb plants blocking their way 4dfda7e3f6 only grew thicker.

A future that 6b4952127b begins with ‘Once 84d7e2139d upon a time, ab4d88bf56 in a faraway 9bbb3d17fd land, there lived f89ead3b16 a prince under 7dcf203bc7 a curse,’ and f30262315d ends with ‘and 3eb037dbeb the prince lived 74dcc908c7 happily ever after.’ f7ff426d42 For eternal happiness d1521ae9c4 to shine, a 30e93b3403 little trial is d859541ebd necessary. But those b34eb6942d trials will 34627948b1 never make 2211247052 the Prince 16cdec621e unhappy.

So, he asked the c3702127c3 prince to trust him.

The blind, fervent words 82e8771bbe poured into the prince’s 4572aefb07 ears like a passionate f8f7b59e6e confession. The prince couldn’t 1e67a98563 bring himself to e98a0a00bd say a word b92a07e83d in response.476592d7f557c4c0
