The next morning, the kingdom buzzed with gossip about a mysterious person who had stolen the Prince's heart and left a glass ring in its place.
He's looking for me. Maybe what he said is true!
I grinned helplessly and made my way the the bedroom.
In the quiet of my room, I hummed the song that had played when the prince and I met. Though brief, the evening was absolutely wonderful!
Suddenly, I jumped. Stepmother was watching me in the mirror! My heart sank as I realised she knew I was the mysterious person with the prince.
"The Grand Duke has arrived!"
Downstairs, our footman announced the Grand Duke's arrival. The king had told him to visit every house in the kingdom to search for the mysterious person. Stepmother left my room and locked the door behind her.
Why is she doing this to me? Let me out!
I banged the door as hard a I could. There's no point, my hand were just getting redder and numbed by the pain.
I could here Ara downstairs, losing her temper while trying to stuff her fat finger in my glass ring.
The grand duke's servant was impatient. He was certain he would found Prince's true love by now.
The logic was simple: find the finger that fits the ring, and you've found the mystery person.
