In far away, there was a peaceful
kingdom lead by a wise king. He has one beautiful daughter that took after the
queen appearance so much, she has blonde hair and aristocrat face. The queen
died when she gave a birth of a beautiful princess, which explained why the
king was so protective to everything that related to the princess. The king
always gave his best to raise his lovely daughter even in every small detail.
The princess grew up into the beautiful and stunning women, her beauty
well-known in many others kingdom. The king thought it was the time for her
daughter to married and had a happy family like he had, than the king asked his
servant to spread the news of prize contest and as the prize the winner could
married with his lovely daughter but only the prince that could attended this
contest. When the princess knew about this news, she became angry to his
father. She complained on his father’s planed to make a prize contest of
herself. Because without the king acknowledgement the princess was falling in
love with one of the king’s soldier, he was a brave, gentle, and kind man. They
met at the stable club; the young soldier was the princess’ private trainer
that taught her to ride a horse. Day by day passed, and their love became
bigger than before. The princess decided to tell her father about the man whom
she loved much. She entered the king’s room in very late night and woke him up,
she began talked to the king that he had to cancelled the prize contest,
because she already have the right person to married and he was a gorgeous man
but the important thing was; he is the one whom the princess loved. The king
thought it was strange, how the princess found the right man if she has not
leave the kingdom to met the prince from the other kingdom. The princess said
hesitantly that the man whom she loved was not a prince; he was a soldier from
her own kingdom. The king got into a rage when he heard that, his eyes bulged
out in angry. The king promised to give the soldier punishment for approached
the princess. The princess realize that she put the young soldier in dangerous,
the princess begged to the king for not gave the soldier punishment but the
king did not pay attention to princess’ request. The king shut the princess out
in her room; the servant did not allow the princess went out from her room
until the day of punishment. The princess cried a river in her room; she did
not sleep and ate all day long. She became frustrated because she putted her
important person into a terrible dangerous, the princess thought that at the
end, her love to the soldier was only a nightmare for the soldier. She wandered
if she was only an ordinary woman that lives in the village as the daughter of
a farmer, this thing would not be happened.
The day of the soldier punishment came; the princess went out
from her room to watch her lovely man being executed. The princess looked pale
and disarray. She begged for the last time to her father for not gave the
soldier punishment, she said that she could not stand about this un-fair thing,
both of them was in love so the princess ought to get the punishment too. As a
wise king, he considered to give the soldier option on his punishment. The king
has already prepared the hungry lion and very beautiful women to choose by the
soldier. If he chooses the lion he had to fight with bare hand till the lion
died and if he chooses the beautiful woman he had to married with her and move
to the other kingdom but there was something that make this execution more
interesting for the inhabitants, that was: both of them were saved in the back
of the door, so the soldier did not know whether the door he chose was a
beautiful women or a hungry lion.
The soldier walked to the middle of coliseums right facing
the doors. He stood bravely and saw the princess for the last time before any
un-controlled thing happened to him. He was ready for everything that might
happen on his life because the soldier loved the princess much; he thought it
was the proper price for loving the wonderful women. The soldier chose the
right door to open but he asked for agreement first to the princess. The
princess nodded, but suddenly the soldier attacked by doubt. He moved to the
left door and asked the princess’ agreement again and the princess nodded. The
soldier confused on what princess doing, she nodded to both of the doors. The
soldier wanted to ask for assurance to the princess; the soldier shouted to the
princess,
“Why did you nodded to
both of the doors? Which one should I opened princess, I was confused.”
With a startled and flat face the princess said, “Sorry, what
did you say? I did not do anything.”
“You nodded to both of doors. It made me confused my
princess.”
“Really, I was not sure I nodded to give you an agreement.
You know, I was sleepy. I have not slept for five days. Actually I tried for
not sleeping right now.”
The soldier felt helpless, so he decided to open any door
without any consideration. He followed his heart and opened the right door.
Inhabitants restrained their breath when the soldier opened the door. The
soldier brought in the nervous milieu and his hand became cold, but when the door
had opened there was no hungry lion or beautiful woman in it, there was only a
scrolled paper laid down in the bottom of the back door. He took that paper and
opened it. It written, “TRY AGAIN IN THE OTHER DOOR, DO NOT GIVE UP” in the
capital letter.
The soldier flustered and thought that the king just made fun
of him or maybe from the first time there was nothing an option for him. Now, he
knew for sure that there was only a lion that the king had prepared for him. The
soldier prepared himself to face the hungry lion. Right after he opened the
door the hungry lion would ready to grip him. He thought he deserve on it, than
he opened the left door. But, there was no a hungry lion there, he only found
another scrolled paper and opened it. It was written, “SORRY YOU ARE UNLUCKY,
MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WILL GET THE HUNGRY LION” In the capital letter.
The soldier became more flustered, so did the inhabitants.
The soldier asked the king for explanation, but the king just laughed. All of
the people in coliseum confused about what was going on. Than the king said in
the humility voiced,
“Today is my daughter birthday. I want to gave her an
unforgettable surprise. I gave you a test to made me knew whether you deserve
to stand beside my princess or not and now I knew that you are a respectable,
responsible and kind man. On this important day I blessed you to married with
my daughter.”
The soldier shocked to hear that, he felt very happy and
thanked to the king so much. All of the people in the coliseum cheered happily
to hear this good news. The soldier directly run to the princess, when he run
up to the princess’ throne the soldier slipped down on his own leg and his head
collide with edges of the princess’ throne. The soldier’s head bleeding, he was
not died but there was going wrong on his head, he became idiot. However, the
princess still loved him and married with him and finally they lived happily
ever after.
