(derailed fairy tale)

Once upon a time, in a quiet village, lived a beautiful girl named Belle. She adored books and dreamed of a life filled with adventures. But one day, her father got lost in the woods and stumbled upon a castle owned by a fearsome Beast. When he was captured, Belle bravely offered to take his place.

At first, while staying in the castle, she felt horrible. The Beast was gruff and intimidating, but as Belle explored the enchanted home, she discovered its hidden wonders and treasures. Gradually, she got accustomed to living there. Slowly, they formed a bond through shared meals and conversations.

As time passed, Belle’s kindness began to break through the Beast’s hardness. They laughed, learned about each other, and Belle even thought she felt her heart feeling some sympathy for him.

But one day, when the Beast was gravely injured while protecting her, Belle realized that she loved him. Her heartfelt confession shattered the curse that had bound him. And the Beast transformed back into a handsome prince!.. Or it seemed so at first.

In the middle of that tragic moment, the noble prince confessed to his beloved one, offering  to live together  forever in love and harmony, but his words stopped as he noticed Belle`s erratic emotions.

She stood as straight as if she were struck by lightning, and her face was contorted in disgust and disappointment…

The prince asked if she agreed to get married, but the princess said something like that: “Without your knife-edged fangs and sharp claws, your shabby fur and brutal hands, you look like a puny puppy, you see?” Then  she apologized and went away with her head held high. The prince had never seen her so steamed.

Conclusion: So what will you do when someone loves you, not for your inside, but only for your fluffy outside?
