Prologue

Derek:
Once upon a time, there was a king named William
Who ruled a large and mighty kingdom
And yet, he was sad, for he was growing old
And had no child to inherit the throne
Then, happily, a daughter was born
A princess
And she was given the name Odette

Kings and Queens came from all around
To offer their gifts to the child
Among them was the widowed Uberta
And her young son, Prince Derek
It was then
That William and Uberta happened the same idеa:
Derek and Odettе would be brought together each summer
In hopes that they would fall in love
And join their kingdoms forever

But unknown to all was another plan
That of the evil enchanter, Rothbart
Odette's birth was of little concern to him
For he was preparing to take William’s kingdom
By means of the forbidden arts
On the eve of his assault, William attacked
And Rothbart's powers were plunged to darkness
Despite calls for his death, the enchanter was only banished
Many feared King William too kind

But in time, the threat was forgotten
And all hopes turned to that not-so-distant summer
When Derek and Odette would meet
