transformed leaving a handsome prince before her I am actually a prince and we have been bound by an enchantment that makes us lions by day Emilia smiled for she was happy and in love with the lion Prince Emilia agreed to marry the prince and the wedding was held at once with due magnificence they lived happily together as lions would sleeping through the day and staying up all night one day the

welcomed the lion Prince with love the princess had a great Hall built with walls so thick that no ray of light could penetrate through them this was where the lion was to retire when the tour and candles were kindled but since the wood was fresh it's split causing a crack so small that when the procession of people with torches and lights came back from the wedding a small ray of light about the size of a hair fell upon the lion Prince within a second the lion Prince turned into a dove when Amelia returned she saw nothing but a white dove sitting there for the next seven years I will have to fly about and at every seventh step I shall drop a white feather and if you follow it you can set me free princess Amelia followed the white dove as a white feather fell at every seventh step to show her the way as the seven years nearly passed Amelia followed the trail of white feathers all the way without any rest oh I'm so glad that these seven years are almost over we shall soon be free of our troubles but it was long before princess Amelia and the prince would be free one day the white feathers seized to drop and Amelia was worried a man cannot help me with this princess Amelia climbed up a tree and called out to the Sun Oh Sun so bright you shine from valleys to mountain peaks from land to mine do you know where I can find a white dove of mine no little child I have not seen a white dove but take this little casket and use it when you are in dire need thank you so much princess Amelia went on and on looking for her prince till night fell when the moon shot out she

draught the prince who was nearby heard some murmurs and later asked the Chamberlain what it was all about the Chamberlain confessed to the prince that he was ordered to slip in a sleeping draught in his drink as the poor girl was to be in the room with him that night pour the drink and keep it by my bed that night when the moon shone bright princess amelia was taken to the chambers to speak with
