Beautiful Beast
Centuries ago in a kingdom near France,
there lived the handsomest prince.
The prince, who every woman in the kingdom desired.
He was desired by all women,
young, old, rich, poor, princesses, maidens, beggars, and damsels.
His charm caught the attention of an elderly woman.
The prince, like anyone in the kingdom with a sense of reasoning,
understood that despite his royal status, he was too young.
Oh, the wretched men and women in that kingdom!
They'd kill to get what they want.
Rejection cut through the old woman's chest like a sword.
It infuriated her so much, not being with the man she loved.
That wicked witch then put a spell on him.
That vulture turned him into a terrifying,
animalistic creature.
His charm and beauty were gone.
He went into hiding and no one heard from him from then on.
Until a young, beautiful maiden came across him.
All she wanted was her father's liberty.
It costed hers.
As time passed, she realized that there was still humanity left in him.
The beastly prince explained the maiden what happen.
The young woman was smart enough to figure out.
He was the lost prince.
He wasn't so lost then.
He ran away.
He started to love her, but he kept it realistic.
"She'll never love an animal."
There came a day when the village people found him.
They killed the beast,
but they prince was still alive.
The prince whom the princess loved.
