Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away. There the  sole ruler finally took a wife. All of his life he had searched and searched for his true love and finally he had found her. She was beautiful in every which way.  Gentle as the quiet waves against the waterside and kind as the merciful summer breeze in the baking sun. Her skin was pale as lazy morning fog,  her eyes the colour of  golden amber and lips, soft as the petals of the magnificent crimson roses that grew in the king's garden.
