as life in the castle became more difficult and finding no solace from the first-born prince, the young wife would often retreat to her chambers, sit in a corner and cry softly. feeling so lonely, she would travel several miles back to her mother's cottage and bask in the ambiance of her old home. she would lie on her bed and feel its warmth. it somehow gave her refuge and comfort. when it was time to go back to the castle, she would leave a note for her mother, saying she just happened to pass by. the more she went to the cottage, the lonelier she got.there were times that she would chance upon her mother at the cottage when she came to visit, but kept mum with the difficulties she was going through. it would surely break her heart if she knew. the young wife also made sure that her mother never saw her hands, wounded & infected from the detergents used in the castle. instead, she entertained her with funny incidents and conversations she had with the other princes. the young wife's mother relaxed and felt comforted. everything seems alright with her little girl and the valiant prince was keeping up to his promise that he would always take good care of her.
