Once upon a time in the far-away land of Paris, a young prince and his family lived in a shining castle that was set in the middle of a forest near a small village.

And although the Prince could have everything he ever wanted, he was unhappy, for his parents forbid him from stepping one foot outside the palace walls.

This rule became more enforced when the queen died of an illness one night, turning the king into a cold, cruel and unkind man thinking if he couldn't have his love then there should be none for anyone else who lived in his castle.

Sadly over time, the Prince picked up some of these lessons from his father, until he became almost just like him.

When the Prince was a teenager, the king died as well, making the Prince loose more happiness, which his servants tried to replace with big parties held in the castle.

Then one winter's night, during one of these parties, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.

Seeing as roses were his mother's favourite flower the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away.

But she told him that he had to let go of his past to have a future worth having, and to not to judge things by appearances.

But when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress who said:

'You have been deceived by your own cold heart. A curse upon your house and all within it. Until you have found one to love you as you are, you shall remain forever a beast.'

Ashamed by this curse the Prince caused his friends to be under, he hid himself away with a mirror the Enchantress gave him as his only window to the outside world.

And the rose she had given him, a red one with unusual black spots upon its petals, truly a magical one which will stay in bloom five years.

If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken.

As the years passed he fell into despair, for who could ever learn to love a beast?


AN: You remember my story 'Adrien'? Well this is hopefully going to be like that - a Miraculous Ladybug form of a Disney movie

Note - This will be set on the 1991 Beauty and the Beast, not the 2017 one.

Also I would like to thank my sister Kempogirl and .noir For their help in this

(Such as, suggesting that Marinette will be a designer not a book worm, and who will play who in the castle)

Hope you like it
