Once upon a time, a princess lived in a castle. She lived with her mother and father, the king and queen. She had no brothers or sisters. As she grew up, her parents began to talk to her about whom she might marry. Her marriage would be very important. This new spouse would be an heir to the throne.

Many princesses wait for the day they can marry a handsome prince. Yet this was no usual princess. She preferred her hunting clothes to any fancy dress. She wore her hair in a ponytail instead of having long waves topped with a tiara. She hated spending her days in the castle. She did not like to just sit around and do nothing. The princess always tried to find someone to take her out to the forest. She would ride a horse and feel the wind blow through her hair. She loved adventure.

On this day, the princess did not want to talk about a marriage. She was not going to marry anyone that her parents had in mind for her. She was not even sure she wanted to be married at all. Today, she just wanted to ride her horse.

She walked around the castle. Finally, she found a servant boy. She asked him to help her get a horse ready to ride. They talked a lot. The princess really enjoyed his company. The servant boy was surprised by the princess. He expected her to be snobby. He liked talking to her, too. The princess wondered why she could not spend more time with boys like him. Why did her parents only introduce her to the sons of their friends? All this princess knew was that things were going to change. She was going to spend some time with her new friend. She was going to make her own decisions. She was going to be a different kind of princess.
