When they arrived at the
castle, the lords and ladies looked curiously at the young lady accompanying
their prince but before long everyone in the castle became used to the quiet
girl's presence - despite her strange habit of eating nothing but seaweed
salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The prince was very kind to
Sara and treated her like a little sister but to Sara's sorrow, his thoughts
of love were with the human woman who found him on the beach while Sara was
hiding.
"She had the most beautiful
blue eyes. She was only here for a short while, but I miss her so,"
the prince shared with Sara as they were out for a walk in the garden.
After a time, Sara realized
that the handsome prince would not be hers to marry. She felt so
lonely she thought her heart might break but she was still happy that the
prince was such a good friend.
"I shall stay with him for as
long as I can," Sara decided. But she knew that when he finally
married the woman he dreamt about that she would die, for the witch's curse
required that she marry her true love in order to become fully human.
