~ Prince Snow White ~
In another fantasy kingdom, there lived a king and queen who wished to have a child. The king was always sad, though he had all the riches in his vast kingdom and the respect of his fellow citizens, because he wanted an heir to leave his possession with. The queen, on the other hand, wished for a child to brighten her lonely days when the king is busy with his business.
Now the very same fairy, which enchanted the handsome king into a lion, paid her visit to this royal couple. The queen was walking in the garden one morning when the fairy, disguised as a little sparrow, flew up to her and asked,
"What does your heart desires?"
The queen answered, "I wish to have a child who is as white as snow, as black as a raven and as blue as sapphires. (Her favourite stone)"
"Your wish is granted. From this time next year, you shall hold a child upon your hand." With this the sparrow flew away and the queen went beck to her husband to tell him of this great and joyous news.
It all came to pass as what the fairy had said. The next year, the queen gave birth to a beautiful baby boy whose skin is as white as snow, whose hair is as black as a raven and whose eyes are as blue as sapphires.
The king held a grand banquet to celebrate the birth of his heir. He also invited the fairies of his kingdom so that they may grant his child great gifts. Now there were 13 fairies in his land but the king had only 12 golden dishes for them to eat out from, so he had to leave one fairy out.
After the grand feast, the fairies began to christen the child all the wonderful gifts of the world. One gave him virtues; another beauty, another riches and soon he had all that was excellent in the world. When the eleventh had done blessing him, the 13th, who was left out, came with rage to gain her revenge.
"The prince shall died in the paws of a lion on his 17th birthday," she cursed, and with that she disappeared into thin air.
The king and queen were very disturbed by the curse, but was comforted by the 12th fairy when she said,
"I cannot undo the curse for what has been said must be fulfilled, but I can lighten it a little. The prince shall not die but instead shall be kidnapped by the lion."
After hearing this, the king and queen were grateful to the fairy but were still not at ease thinking that their son will still be at harm's way. So the prince was kept indoors, never to set foot out of the palace unless accompanied by the king and an army of soldiers.
The prince, who was named Rukawa Kaede, grew up into a very handsome and strong prince. Every maidens and princesses wanted to marry him. But he does have some drawbacks. Firstly, he couldn't be bothered with anyone but himself, secondly, he prefers to sleep away his time rather that doing anything worthwhile. This gave him the impression of an emotionless, aloof and quiet attitude.
His childhood day were bright and merry until one day his mother fell ill and when she felt that her end was drawing nigh, she called to her son and said,
"My dear son, remember to always be a good boy and I will look down from heaven and watch over you."
With that, she breathes her last and shutting her eyes, she died. She was buried in the garden and Kaede felt that this was the saddest day of his life and for the first time, he cried his heart out, knowing that things are going to change tremendously in his life.
