All the stories don't always have a happy ending.

Drabble 10 : Everything is just a story of misfortune.

Centred on the prince during the trilogy

Spoil : Poison/Charm/Beauty

Pairing : The prince/Snow White The prince/Cinderella The prince/Belle

Say about the prince that he wasn't someone charming wouldn't have been a great new for someone; if you had the huntsman's point of view, he would have probably said that this was a coward and also someone vain. This prince had nothing heroic in him, and didn't always show great courage; he didn't fight bloodthirsty monster nor killed a dragoon to save a village.

No, the prince was nothing of that; it didn't mean that he worth nothing or that he was entirely responsible of everything that happened. Of course, the prince made a lot of errors, it was true, but after all, he didn't cause all the misfortunes of the kingdom !

The episode with Belle had been an incredibly stupid error, even the prince could admit it; he simply didn't have chance, how could he know that a so much beautiful woman hide such darkness in her ? No one knew it, even not the huntsman didn't understand that ! (But yeah, kiss Belle then ask her to marry him had been really idiot).

Here, it just had been misfortune.

What happened with Snow White was in part the prince's fault, but also because of Dreamy. Here again, the prince believed what he saw, a young woman waiting to be awaken and saved (even his encounter with Petra didn't change his point of view about women, still seeing them as little fragile things...) And after he woke up her.

Then, he bitterly regretted it...

Because what Dreamy told him was wrong ! Snow White was beautiful, young, and soft, but also completely free, a thing that the prince didn't like. And the prince was extremely cruel towards the poor princess, who didn't deserve her fate; despite that, he didn't have chance to find her sleeping (as the princess too, who didn't have many chance to meet him.)

But, with Cinderella, the prince had really been completely manipulated (maybe it was a revenge by the Evil Queen for what he did to Snow White ?).

The magic of the slippers made him not to be able to free himself from this wonderful beauty that was Cinderella at that time; and just then, when she didn't have the shoes, he had been free from the spell. And that brought another deception, again because of the misfortune.

Yes, everything is just a story of misfortune. Well, almost, because to promise his first child to Rumplestiltskin had been his choice, and wasn't cause by chance.

And, that, that had been really stupid.
