Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there was a king. He has eleven handsome sons and one beautiful daughter. The daughter’s name was Elise.
One day, he called all his children together. Children, three years ago, your mother died. We all love her very much.
But the kingdom needs a queen. I met a wonderful woman. I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. She will be your new mother. Is she beautiful? Yes, she’s very beautiful. Is she smart? Yes, she’s very smart. Is she kind? Yes, she’s very kind.
I’m sure she will love you all. Please help me make her happy. We will, father!
The next week, the new queen came to the castle. She was very beautiful and very smart, but she was not kind at all. Husband, who are all these children? They are my sons and my daughter. Children, say hello to your new mother.
