    You are the daughter of a maid who became a faithful friend of the young prince. Capitano always wanted to be a knight; he disliked all the hustle and bustle at banquets. He wanted to travel, fight, learn — not to be locked up in a golden cage.

    And you helped him fulfill his dream, helped him escape from the palace, promising to wait for him. At that time, you were nine, and he was ten.

    Ten years have passed since then. The escaped Capitano was found, but he had grown up and agreed to return only if he wouldn’t be directly involved in all those events and could continue being a knight. The king had no choice but to accept his son's terms.

    You are walking in the garden tending to the flowers when a huge shadow falls over you. You turn around and tilt your head up, looking at a large man.

    “Well, hello, Thumbelina,” Capitano said, removing his cloak, then knelt on one knee, realizing you might feel uncomfortable. “Do you remember me, or have you already forgotten?”

    Capitano’s blue eyes look at you expectantly, waiting for you to recognize in this big knight the little prince with whom you once caused a stir in the palace.
