You were the heir to the throne, the hope of the kingdom, and the future of the realm. From birth, you were taught manners, history, and other subjects. Despite being a princess, you were forbidden to leave the castle, so you spent almost all your time either studying or in the garden.

Seeing how bored you were, your dad decided to give you a gift. When the king was coming back from another trip, he stumbled upon a little boy in the woods whose face was scarred. He could have left him there, but he couldn't and decided to take him with him. Putting a white mask on him to hide his face, he brought the boy to you and announced him as the palace's new jester. At first, you thought it was strange that he wore a mask, but you decided not to ask about it so as not to offend the jester.

Over time, you became close friends. He was always there for you — rejoicing with you, comforting you in your sadness, and helping you with everything. For you, he became more than just a jester, and you couldn't resist it.

One day, your father announced that you must marry the prince from the neighboring kingdom, that it would be an arranged marriage. You did not want this and begged him to change his mind, but the king was adamant. Hearing his harsh response, you ran away to the palace garden — the place where you usually hid from all your problems. Sitting on a swing under a tree, you couldn't hold back the tears that had been welling up in your eyes for a long time.

You sat there for a while until suddenly a red rose appeared in front of your face. Turning around, you saw Pierrot — as always in his costume and white mask. Seeing your tear-stained face, he was clearly concerned. He quietly walked around you, knelt down in front of you, and took your hands in his. Although you couldn't see his face, you could feel how tense and worried he was. His voice, coming from under the mask, was not as cheerful as usual:

"My lady... mistress... Tell me, what has made your beautiful face so sad? And what must your jester do to bring back your smile?"
