Once upon a time, in a magnificent kingdom surrounded by lush gardens and sparkling lakes, there lived a wise and noble Prince.
This Prince was no ordinary man. He possessed a heart full of wisdom, a strong sense of responsibility, unwavering firmness, and a deep well of kindness and forgiveness. He treated everyone with respect, spoke with gentle manners, and greeted all who crossed his path with a warm smile. These qualities made him not only beloved by the people of his kingdom, but also highly admired by princesses from other realms.
But it wasn't only his noble heart that drew attention---his appearance was just as remarkable. The Prince had sharp eyes that reflected the sky, a charming smile, and a regal presence that made anyone who saw him pause in awe.
Despite all of this, the Prince often felt an emptiness in his heart. He had everything---status, wealth, admiration---but he longed for something deeper: a connection with someone who could truly understand him.
One bright afternoon, as the Prince strolled alone through the palace garden, he sighed and looked up at the sky. The sun was warm, the flowers were blooming, and yet, he felt... alone.
As he walked among the roses, his mother, the Queen, noticed his quiet demeanor and approached him with a soft voice.
"My son," she said gently, "is there something troubling you? You seem lost in thought."
The Prince paused, then looked at her and replied, "Mother, do you think it's wrong to desire a companion in life? Someone to share these quiet moments with?"
The Queen smiled, "Of course not, my dear. Every heart longs for a true companion. Do you wish to find someone to be by your side?"
"Yes, Mother... I do. But I'm confused. There are many who like me, yet I feel none of them truly know me."
The Queen placed her hand on his shoulder. "Perhaps love will come when you least expect it. Trust your heart."
