There was once a prince, long ago, who lived in a beautiful castle. He had everything his heart desired, and his servants saw to his every need. Still, the Prince was not satisfied. He craved everything that was beautiful and despised that which was ugly. He lived this way for many years, until one day…
A storm raged outside, but Quatre Raberba Winner paid it no mind. He was warm, and anyone who was foolish enough to travel in the storm could suffer the consequences. Servants milled around, polishing the coats of armor, seeing to their Prince's needs, and doing whatever else the servants did. Quatre also ignored them. He made his way back to his favorite chair, and sat before a large, roaring fire. He had just settled down when a loud knock came from the main door.
When the Prince opened the door, he was appalled to see an old hag on his doorstep. She was bent over, soaking wet, and horribly ugly. She begged for respite from the storm, and offered a rose in return for the kindness, but…
"Leave this place, hag," Quatre sneered, turning from her. He waved his hand and the servants shut the heavy doors. He was returned to his chair, but one of the servants scurried back to him.
"Your highness! The door…"
Quatre hauled himself up from his chair once more and went back to the door. Again, the hag was there.
Angered, the Prince turned the hag away once more. Seeing that there was no love in his heart, the hag raised her arm and her disguise melted from her, revealing a beautiful fairy. The Prince begged her to forgive his rudeness, but it was too late. The fairy had seen his jealous heart for what it was…
The Fairy stood before him, and Quatre graveled in fear. He had begged for forgiveness, but she had refused.
"I will turn you to something that matches the ugliness of your heart, O Prince," she said. She touched him with her wand. Quatre could feel himself changing. He looked into the mirror and gasped in horror. He was ugly, his face deformed. His skin was deathly pale.
"You will be vulnerable to the sun if you stay out for long periods of time, and your face shall mask the ugliness of your heart. However, if you learn to love, and are loved in return, this curse will be broken, and you will return to your true form."
Then the Fairy left him with the rose. It was an enchanted rose, and it would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. If he had not broken the curse by then, he would be doomed to live in this deformed state for the rest of his life…
A few years passed, and the Prince fell into a deep despair. He would remain in this cursed state forever…for who could love a deformed man…half a man as he was?
