The beautiful princess is of age and must choose a husband who will become the new king. She has three suitors. Simon is handsome and charming—but he only sees the princess as his chance to become a wealthy ruler. Thomas is the mighty captain of the guard—but he wants the princess to choose him only so he can gain the people’s admiration. John is handsome but a simple commoner with a compassionate heart—but he alone truly loves the kindhearted princess. All three men behave perfectly in the princess’s presence: how can she tell their true characters? After getting advice from her father the king and her mother the queen, an unusual race is designed to reveal the best man to marry. |
