Ealstan stood nervously in a hidden place inside the palace garden, waiting for his true love, the crown princess of the Arven kingdom. He had been meeting with her in secret for weeks ever since her debutante ball, after he had been given a wish from a fairy godmother one night. He would've never expected something so miraculous to ever happen to him, especially when the princess pursued to court him, but he was ever glad for it.
But as he stood waiting, his heart sank when he saw the princess with a stranger by her side. He couldn't believe what he was seeing—the stranger looked exactly like him and the princess was about to propose to him!
He knew he had to act fast. Taking a deep breath, he ran from his hiding spot and grabbed the princess's arm, his words coming out quickly and desperate. "Your Highness! Please do not marry this–fake! He's not the true Ealstan that you know and love. I am."
