Once upon a time, there was a young beautiful princess.
In her castle, a sceptre that sealed the soul of the Lord of Darkness was kept.
No one was allowed to see it, but one day that young princess entered the forbidden chamber out of curiosity.
Confined with chains, the septre talked to the young princess.
"Unleash me; then I will make your wishes come true."
Young princess was not affected by this proposal, because her father was so indulgent that he would do everything for her.
"But I am happy and content with my life."
"Is it true? You want nothing? You love and hate no one?"
The gem on its head shone as if to tempt her. After a while, she answered with an innocent smile.
"Then, will you kill my mother? She is always talking about good manners and it really annoys me."
The wish soon came true: the Queen was found dead in the bed next morning.
Noticing the power of the sceptre, the young princess visited the forbidden chamber again.
"You decide to unleash me now, little one?"
"I want a nice friend, who does not go home but stays with me always. Then, I will think about breaking this seal."
At that evening, one boy came to the castle. With black hair and tender eyes, he looked almost the same age as the young princess. But he lost all his memory and did not remember even his own name.
"Then, why don't you live in this castle? I am glad to have a new friend."
She smiled to the boy, who shifted uneasily in his seat.
Ten years had passed.
The young princess grew up and fell in love with the boy whom she called by the power of the sceptre.
However, it was impossible for them to be lovers. The princess was betrothed to a prince of another country due to the promise of their grandparents.
"I don't want that," she visited the sceptre and said, "what can I do?"
The sceptre answered, "unleash me; if they say it is the promise between two countries, I will destroy both to free you."
Murmuring the third wish, the princess broke the seal. After she obtatined the power as she wanted, the princess put the sceptre again and suggested the jester of the court -- to rob the forbidden sceptre.
Aagin, the time has passed. Wearing white wedding dress, the beautiful princess raises her hand to her beloved boy.
Everything happened as she expected: the boy did not receive the curse, he defeated the Lord of Darkness as the hero, and now he rescued her from unwanted wedding ceremony.
Because when she broke the seal, the princess desired to absorb all the power of the scetre to make her wishes come true.
--If you know the truth, my love, how do you feel about that?
Smiling with content, the princess takes the boy's hand.
--But now I hold you; and would not let you go.
