Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reasons for framing such a decision by an individual that the vagabond is the most responsible, knight is the next most responsible and the godfather is the least responsible for the princess's death.
Introduction:
The beautiful princess who was married felt deserted and was longing for love as the prince left the kingdom regularly. This led her to secretly have an affair with a wanderer. One day, the wanderer abandoned the princess. The princess realized that the way to get back to the castle was to cross path through the captivated forest that belonged to an evil wizard. The clueless princess was frightened to go alone so she asked helped from her kind-hearted godfather. He was disturbed by her actions even though she pleaded for forgiveness, so he did not help her to get back to the castle. The princess later asked help from a righteous knight but he also abandoned her. Due to this, the princess decided to cross the forest alone and when she almost crossed it, the evil witch caught her and fed the princess to her vicious dragon. All the men are accountable for the death of the princess, but not everyone was equally responsible for her death.
