Once upon a time there lived a
beautiful princess and her name was Caprice Winter. She lived in a big palace
in Austria. Her mother told her that she would be married to a prince but it
was not Caprice’s choice it was her mother’s choice. Caprice knew that she
could not love anyone she did not know or cared for. Caprice’s mother was
trying to please the people of Austria and their law. Caprice wanted to marry a
man that she loved not someone who she knew nothing about.
One day Caprice told her mother
that she was only going to marry someone if she fell in love first. Caprice
wanted to make her mother happy but still please the people of Austria. She
knew that it was just too much. Caprice ran away in the middle of the night to
another far away kingdom named Gloxinia which means love at first sight. As
Caprice knocked on the door of a beautiful castle this man opened the door and
said “How may I help you ma’am?” Caprice said, “I have come very far to run
away from my mother and to find true love.” The man said, “My name is Prince
Balint and I am the prince of this kingdom.” “So you are a prince, well it is
nice to meet you Balint.” As Caprice stared at Balint she knew that she could
not tell him that she is the princess of Austria. She didn’t want to scare him
off. “My name is Caprice and it is so nice to meet you.”
Caprice told Balint that she had
run away from her home and didn’t know if she could ever go back. “Balint sir,
I can not go back home because my mother wants me to marry someone so that I
can be happy, but I told her I want to marry a man that I could love not
someone that I don’t even know.” “Caprice I understand where you are coming
from. My father wants me to get married but I do not want to get married. I
dream of a big wedding and marring someone that I will love forever.” Prince
Balint agreed to let Caprice stay at the palace for a few days until her mother
finds her. The next day Caprice mother went to her room and found out that she
was gone. She told the guards,” My daughter is not here at all she has run
away. Go to the next kingdom to see if she is there.” The guards went on their
horses and rode off very fast.
It took the guards two days to find
the kingdom. They went to the door of the castle and asked “Is princess Caprice
here?” “There is no one by that name and I am so sorry you have come all this
way.” The man shut the door and ran to call to Prince Balint. The man who
answered the door was his father. “Balint son did you know that our guest is a
princess. She is Princess Caprice. She has lied to you.” “But father I have
only know her for three days. How do you know she is a princess?” “Two guards
came to the door asking for her. I told them that there was no one by that name
here so they left.” “I will have to kick Caprice out and let her find her way
back home. “But father why?” “She is a liar and I can not have liars in this
kingdom.” Balint’s father kicked out the
Princess and said, “You have lied to us and you shall never come back here
again.” Caprice said, “I am so sorry I lied but I love your son.” “You don’t
know my son.” “But from the moment I opened the door and he answered it I knew
that he was the one.” Prince Balint father kicked the princess and she rolled
down the stairs. The two guards found
her and took her home. Caprice’s mother said, “I have been worried about you
ever since I found out you were missing.” “Oh mother I am so sorry but I met a
wonderful Prince in the kingdom called Gloxinia. He is just wonderful mother
and I know you will like him.” “I couldn’t careless about that Prince.” I knew
his father and he was trying to make sure that you wouldn’t be the princess so
he became king of another kingdom.”
Two days passed. “Father where is the princess?” “I must tell
her that I love her and will marry her.” “I kicked her out two days ago.” “She
might of went back home.” “But father I love her and will do anything to get
her back.” “She is not welcome here and you will not marry her. “ “Father let
me marry her for I love her.” “I dream of a big wedding filled with love.”
“Fine… go and marry her.” The next week, Prince Balint married Princess Caprice
and they lived happily ever after.
