He father the king, a kind and righteous man, loves her dearly, but is determined to marry her off at all costs: no-one knows why he´s in such a hurry. He organises a grand ball in the chateau, at which a number of princes curry for her favour. But the one whom the princess chooses herself is not at all to the liking of her Dad – for reasons which nobody understands.
