But the cunning young lady did not want to get married so early, so she thought that the smartest and the most physically fit would be the one to marry her. Her tasks were very difficult. There were tree tasks – the first was a question from the king and queen, the second one was to defeat a hundred highly trained kings' soldiers and the third was the most difficult task was to answer every question of the princess for three hours. If the candidate succeeds in all of the tasks he had to prove himself loyal of the Kingdom. And that was the task were all the successful prices had failed miserably. That task was for every candidate different. It was to show the psychically strong future ruler. Only the previous kings had succeeded in it. For two years from all the kingdoms young man had tried to win the hand of the princess but it was all in vein.

His lips were full and beautifully shaped. His cheek bones were high on his face. His skin was pale and flawless. He was every woman's dream prince. But even with his god-like looks he was a cold man. Never smiling or laughing. He always was very serious. He's got only one best friend – the exiled prince of the Phantom Kingdom - Ciel. The only people who had seen Sebastian smile and laugh were his family and Ciel. They knew why the young prince was so gloomy and always full of anger. The reason for that condition was unknown for the people in the palace, because everybody knew Sebastian as a happy boy, until his fifteenth birthday.
