A beautiful queen sat on a plush couch in her grand bedroom, her long, flowing dress pooling gracefully around her. Next to her, a young princess listened intently as her mother read a book aloud to her.

"Once upon a time, in a secluded part of the realm, there was a large forest known as the Dark Woods," the queen began, her eyes scanning the words on the page.

"The Dark Woods was a place of mystery and darkness, with tall, twisted trees that seemed to reach for the sky, and a thick, misty fog that blanketed the ground. Rumours of strange and sinister creatures that lived within its depths warned people to stay away," the queen continued, turning the page.

"Despite the warnings, there were always those curious souls who dared to venture into the Dark Woods. Some never returned, while others spoke of eerie, unexplainable occurrences. One thing was certain: the Dark Woods held secrets that were better left untold," the queen read aloud, her voice dropping to a low, serious tone.
