She's extraordinary!
Not at all like a King's
daughter.
I used to come to the nursery
and, believe it or not,
I felt better about myself.
Or I would sit there signing a
death sentence,
and laugh at her little
pranks.
I know, I'm a self-centered
bastard!
I got so used to warming my
heart being next to her,
that I started to protect her
from anything
that could stain her pure soul.
Surely you know what a royal
court is like.
Every day they strangle their
own brothers and sisters.
That's right, strangle them.
In other words, there's this
usual everyday life going on.
But once you enter the wing
of the princess,
there's pleasant conversation,
poetry, music.
It heals your soul.
And that tranquil world
collapsed because of a trifle.
I remember it clearly.
It was Saturday, I was doing
my homework,
looking through cavils of
my ministers,
When there was a knock at the
door. My daughter was by my side
embroidering a scarf for my
Birthday.
It was all so calm and peaceful,
birds were singing.
Then the Master of Ceremonies
breaks the bad news.
Says, her aunt, the Dutchess,
was coming to visit.
I always hated her shrill
voice.
So I tell him to tell her,
we're not in.
That's not anything unusual
for us,
because we're ordinary
people.
But my poor little girl
fainted.
"Her daddy told a lie!"
That's how it all started.
She became thoughtful and looked
bored. I didn't know what to do.
Then the genes of my great
granddad awakened in me.
Whatever trouble happened, he
didn't do anything at all,
but waited for it to pass.
When they were strangling his
beloved wife before his eyes,
he stood there and begged:
"Hold on, it'll pass".
- Nice man!
- Oh sure!
But then I woke up one night
and I said: Harness the horses!
And at sunrise we were already
rushing in the direction of
the Carpathian Mountains.
We don't know anyone here,
so you will have to bear
with us,
until we build a castle with
all the conveniences,
a garden, a prison cell,
and a playground.
- I'm afraid...
- Don't be.
Your Majesty, I will show
you your rooms.
Careful, watch your step.
This way, your Majesty.
Just imagine him turning into a
wild beast before her very eyes.
- It's good to fall in love!
- I won't allow this.
That would be painful even
for a mature woman.
- Tell me it's a joke.
- It's too late!
No! I will ask the
Bear to wait,
until we find another princess.
I need to talk to you in
private. In the garden.
Quick!
I'm sorry if I hurt you,
charming young lady.
What is it? Did I scare you
so much?
No. I'm just a little shaken.
I have never been called
"charming young lady" before.
I didn't want to offend you.
I'm not offended.
It's just that I can't
tell a lie.
If I see a charming young lady,
I tell her so.
- Are you the owner's son?
- No, I am an orphan.
Me too.
I mean, my father is alive,
but my mother died
when I was only 7 minutes
old.
I'm sure you have many
friends.
Why would you say that?
I think, everyone should love
someone like you.
I think, everyone should love
someone like you.
You are extraordinary,
you are gentle.
Have I offended you now?
No.
Then I will tell you,
that you are beautiful.
And that I came to
like you.
Very much. The moment
I saw you.
Do you dind me funny?
No.
I think, everyone should love
someone like you.
You are so extraordinary,
so gentle.
- Have I offended you now?
- No.
Then I will tell you,
that you are beautiful.
And that I came to like you.
At first sight.
Do you dind me funny?
No.
You must be tired and hungry.
There's milk fresh from a cow.
Have some.
- Is it some holiday today?
- I don't know, maybe.
- Are you one of the King's
suite? - No.
Then one of the Princess's
suite?
What if I am the Princess?
What is it? You grew so pale!
No, you can't be the
Princess.
No!
I roamed the world.
I saw many princesses.
You don't look like any
one of them.
Please...
Don't tease me.
