Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the rolling hills of the countryside, there lived a poor girl named Emily. She had been living with her stepmother and stepsisters since her father's passing, and life had been difficult for her. Her stepmother was cruel and made sure Emily did all the chores and worked long hours, leaving her little time for anything else.
One day, while out gathering firewood in the forest, Emily stumbled upon a handsome prince who was lost. He had been out riding his horse and had taken a wrong turn, ending up deep in the woods. Emily, being kind and helpful, offered to show him the way back to the castle.
As they walked together, they talked and laughed, and Emily found herself feeling drawn to the prince. She had never met anyone like him before - he was kind, gentle, and handsome, and he treated her with respect and dignity.
As they approached the castle, the prince turned to Emily and said, "I must thank you for showing me the way. You are kind and beautiful, and I would like to see you again." Emily blushed and smiled, and the prince took her hand, leading her to the castle.
The prince introduced Emily to his parents, the king and queen, and they were delighted to meet her. They invited her to stay at the castle for a few days, and Emily was overjoyed. She had never imagined that she would ever be able to stay in a castle before.
