Princess Alessa

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a kingdom was ruled by a wonderful young king named Steeven. Steev for short. (His parents were hippies)

King Steev was a lonely man, so he decided to marry. His search for the perfect bride took years. He searched everywhere, but no bride was to be found. So he took his search to the lower corner of the royalty status. He found a lady named Adelaide. She was beautiful beyond words, but she was betrothed to another prince, though she did not love him. King Steev was in great distress. Besides being beautiful, Adelaide was the most generous, kind, loving person he had ever met. He had to have her if it was the last thing he did. The night before her wedding, King Steev kidnapped her away and took her to his kingdom. Even though kid-napping was not in her initial plan to get out of her marriage, it worked. The two fell deeply in love and had a beautiful daughter that they named Alessa. However, right after Alessa's birth, both parents were murdered by the man Adelaide was supposed to marry. He had searched for a whole year for them and when he found them he killed them right away. After he killed them, he realized no one would care for the baby. Even though anger still stirred for Adelaide, he had nothing to hold against this baby. He contacted King Steev's sister, Bertha, who helped the perpetrator find the couple because she didn't like them, and told her of his predicament. She said she would be glad to come and help out the child. But he knew the only thing she wanted was the crown. In any case, the child would be taken care of. He had done his job.

Alessa grew into a gorgeous young lady, unlike her Aunt Bertha who was as ugly as a toad. Bertha was so jealous of Alessa that she actually changed what the word beautiful meant. She would now be defined as the most beautiful lady in the world. Whenever she went , she wore a veil to hide her "beauty" from everyone, so her subjects thought that she was indeed, beautiful. In addition to calling herself beautiful, she told the townsfolk that Alessa was horribly ugly. And so Alessa was locked in a tower to hide her ugliness from the people. No one knew the truth about her. It seemed no one ever would.
