(mini flash story)

The prince spurred his horse and rode forward fast.

He rode into the courtyard. There was dead silence. Two guards snored on both sides of the rusty gate. Even the dogs were sleeping in the yard next to the fountain. So people were telling the truth!

Opening the tall door to the royal chambers, the prince saw the princess sleeping sweetly.

He kissed her. While he was not looking, she opened one eye and pretended to sleep again. The prince left without knowing that she had woken up. The fact was that the prince was ugly, and the princess did not want to be with him.
