Die verlorene Prinzessin
The lost princess
Once upon a time, hundreds of years ago, a lonely princess lived on a hill in a castle. She had no one but her servants. Her people also suffered from the princess's grief, because they loved her very much, for she was a generous and very compassionate ruler. This princess's name was Luna. The reason for her sadness wasn't just loneliness, it was also the feeling that she would never be loved.
It was strange, she knew enough young counts and princes, but none of them really wanted to please her. She was getting tired of the eternal and endless feasts and banquets that were held to find the right one for her. So it happened that the young princess was in the rose garden almost every day, she lay in the grass and looked at the clouds. She hoped for a sign, for a white horse at the end of the horizon, who wore a knight in shimmering armor who was supposed to deliver her from her loneliness. But he didn't come.So she continued to dream until in autumn the pink cherry blossoms fell from the trees and sent the landscape into a premature and colorful Christmas ...
A little way from the castle where the princess lived there was a village. In that village lived a man named Dark. He didn't know the princess and never cared about "fine society" as he called it. He wasn't stupid, he was extraordinarily well educated for the village's standards. And the hard winters and hard summers in which he toiled in the field had turned him into a strongly built and tough fighter. He probably that this country is ruled by the 18 year old Luna but he didn't care much. But that summer the harvest had been suddenly destroyed by a beetle plague, and since there were still no new supplies from the castle to the land by autumn, he got angry and decided to hike to Princess Luna to get supplies for his village.At the same moment evil villains came into the garden in which Luna was dreaming to kidnap the princess, the Count of Sangtuin wanted her for himself so that he could rule over the country, and the villains kidnapped the young girl. In the meantime, Dark reached the castle, he waited in the Great Hall, but when the servant had to tell him that the princess was not in the castle at the moment, he got angry, he marched into the throne room and wanted to speak to the princess's majodom before he did could say something he saw a portrait of the princess, he immediately fell in love with the beautiful young woman and lost all signs of anger in himself, he could no longer be angry when he saw the angelic brown-green eyes of the princess. Her face made him feel so rashly happy that there was nothing he could do but flee back to his village. He could never forget that beautiful face again!
At the same time the poor princess was in the dungeon of the evil count, because she strictly refused to marry him.All seemed lost, and months passed by in the country. When Dark found out that the princess was lost, he felt terribly miserable and hurried to his black steed and put on his ebony armor. Nobody knew, but he used to be a wandering fighter who protected the weak and poor with his sword. He reached the count's country estate and ran down to the dungeon, the count was waiting for him in front of Luna's cage. Dark drew his sword and beheaded the villain with just one blow. Then he freed the princess, but he didn't want to see her, he was too afraid he would lose his beautiful picture.
When they were in front of his stallion, he set Luna down and mounted the horse. He wanted to get away, away from the disappointment that simmered inside him, but Luna 's gentle hand took the reins. Dark remembered the portrait and couldn't be so rude any longer. He dismounted and took his helmet off his head, then looked into her eyes for the first time, and hers back into his.Dark was shocked and fell to his knees at the same time. He didn't want to look at her, he turned his head away, but the gentle touch turned him back to the face of the young lady. "Forgive my mistress, but I saw an oil painting of you and heard many stories of your beauty, but all of them are lies."
Luna began to smile, because she suspected what was to come next, but she was wrong, Dark took her hand and kissed it. The princess was used to compliments, but not this: "When I saw your picture for the first time, I was blown away, when I heard the stories I smiled at your narrators, because they had not seen what I saw, but now that I was before standing up and looking you in the eye, I have to recognize that you are the loveliest and most beautiful being since I ever saw. I love you, I fell in love when I saw your picture for the first time. "
Almost with magical power, she lifted the young man from the ground so that he was standing in front of her.And she kissed him, Dark returned the kiss from Luna. Although Luna was not a simple girl, but a princess and although Dark was not a noble knight, in shining armor and on white white horse, they had fallen madly in love with each other. The kiss soon turned into a passionate romance. After three years the two married, and the people were overjoyed that the princesses could still live their dream in the end. Shortly after their marriage, they had two children, a sturdy boy and a beautiful girl. They ruled the land justly and magnanimously for many years to come, and if they have not died then they are still alive today.
