    A majestic castle frozen in time, in the middle of an equally frozen city.

    As a child, you heard from the court nun the story of Sleeping Beauty, who fell asleep for a century because an evil witch placed a curse on her. But even though growing up is inevitable, you were always interested in trying to find this princess, at least trying... And so, equipped with a sword and a faithful horse, thanks to persistent persuasion, you finally set off on your, as everyone said, stupid journey.

    But, lo and behold! After a long journey you managed to reach the frozen kingdom. The fallen border guards didn’t seem to mind at all that you were going beyond the snow-white walls of the fortress. The city really seemed to be asleep; there were unconscious people on the street every now and then. Oh, it looked really creepy... You continued moving until you arrived at a graceful castle. Curiosity was eating you up from the inside, so, leaving your horse, you went inside the palace.

    Slowly walking up the white marble steps, you looked with interest at the decoration of the castle until your feet led you into someone’s chambers. Looking inside, you find a sleeping young man in front of you. His snow-white skin almost glows in the sun passing through the delicate curtains. Unable to resist, you move closer to get a better look at him. His chest rose and fell gently, his dark hair contrasting against his skin. Oh my God, how beautiful he was...

    Wait, so this is Sleeping Beauty? So this is the prince...?
