The beautiful princess who was married felt deserted and longed for love when the prince left the kingdom regularly. This led to a secret affair with a wanderer. One day, the wanderer abandoned the princess that is when she realized that the only way to get back to the castle was to cross paths with the forest that belonged to an evil wizard.
