Jasmin's parents then were invited to stay at the palace so the prince and princess would take some time to get to know each other. The town talked about it, however, saying that the Arabian prince had finally found his matched Arabian princess. To some naïve and deep girls like Briar Rose, it was interpreted as the prince's blood was helplessly drawn to her blood, being of the same race, but that didn't mean they had an in-depth spiritual and mental connection like the one he'd have with Briar Rose. She knew all about the nature, about the human heart and the dreams that lay in it. She was so deep, so pure, and so connected to love in the universe. She only needed to connect to her prince, so he would feel the depth and meaning she had going in her beautiful, trouble-free and nature-full life. And who wouldn't want that? Who was more perfect for this job than him? He was beautiful, deep and animated, but by time, if he would turn his head away from the distractions and noise that was everywhere in the floors of his kingdom, he would find her, find Briar Rose and dance with her to the song they both liked very much. She heard it from a book that had all the classical sheet music she could find – she could read notes very well, and interpret them into music in her mind, and he heard it by an upbeat musical band in the festival while he was dancing to it with some maid on the dance floor. By time, when he'd realize he was only attracted to Jasmin because she looked foreign – he'd seen no other Arabian girls in his kingdom or life before – and so similar to him, and also because she was deadly attracted, but Briar Rose couldn't be let put down. She knew there were much better things in life, and that those much better things took longer time to be gotten.
Briar Rose sang and sang and sang in the forest, feeling happy and cheerful that Prince Ali would soon be hers, that no other girl had reached the purity and beauty she understood from her surroundings, and thus, no other girl could be a better match for him. Who could beat pure love?
As days gone by, and Briar Rose would slip quietly into the village of the kingdom, hiding by the borders again, because she was shy, she'd see Prince Ali and Jasmin arguing and she'd roll her eyes, knowing that would happen. She didn't understand him as much as Briar Rose had, although, she'd never spoken to him. But once she read in a book that just as there were deep conversations, there were the petty ones. She read in a romance novel once that when the protagonist, who was in love with a girl with another man, had seen the pair conversing he'd think that they talked about the most important things in life, things that outdid the understanding of other people like himself. Yet, when he found out what their relationship had been about, he discovered that their conversations had only been about really petty things, that it only looked celestial when he was out of reach from it. So, Briar Rose didn't fear Jasmin and Ali to be any more, and the proof was that they argued all the time. Probably about some petty things Briar Rose would overlook, because she would have no interest in the things normal people had interest in. She spent a lot of time with nature. She was above petty arguments.
