As soon as I looked in his eyes I knew that I was in love. It felt like all my burdens just vanished into thin air. My smile was meeting my ears and I had a warm, tingly feeling in the pit of my stomach.

When the cursed princess falls in love...

It was night and I was getting ready for bed , when there was a sudden knock on the door of my room .
The servants entered , carrying some old clothes and asked me to change in them quickly. I asked them the reason and they said that it was the king's order.
I didn't know what was going on. I quickly wore the long gown made out of linen, over it I wore a sleeveless woollen tunic, which was secured at the shoulder with brooches. The brooches had chains hanging down from them. It was uncomfortable and dull looking . I slid my feet inside the black leather boots that the servants had asked me to wear.
As soon as I was dressed ,I was taken to the king's court. He was dressed as a peasant too, wearing a knee-length grey tunic with trousers and similar boots like mine.
When the king saw me he walked towards me and said , " Every night I change my identity into an ordinary person and walk down the streets to look for poor and needy people who need help, maybe by these kind deeds God will be happy and bless me with a child".
He wanted me to go help the people of his kingdom with him tonight. We soon left the castle on our horses.
The streets looked beautiful, lightened up by moon light.
Suddenly, We saw an old man laying in a corner. He looked hungry and cold . The king handed me a bag of gold coins and I bought food and a woolen blanket for the man from one of the street stalls. The king handed them over to the old man , who thanked and kissed the king's hand.

We kept on walking, searching for more people who need help. As we were passing through the graveyard , we saw 3 men seated close to each other. They were all wearing the same white gown and had a black cloth tied around their heads.

We became curious to know who they were and what they were doing in the graveyard at this time, so we hid behind a tombstone near them and started listening to what they were talking about. One of them said, " We are all here for a purpose and for that we have to wait till he appears, till then we all should introduce ourselves."
