La Fleur did grow out of nothing, without father or mother, but he still made it to become a captain. I guess falling in love with the princess wouldn't be difficult for him with all the beauty described and ascribed to her.
But I'm really wondering why the bad man will have to bury her alive, I mean what did she do to deserve that. I see determination in La Fleur's actions, coming all this length and having been searching for 7 years, he would be willing to do anything to save the princess. I hope he survives it, seeing that his servant found him almost dead by the first night. And he still has two more nights of painful and difficult trials. I hope he doesn't give in or make a mistake close to the end like in some other past tales.

The restaurant looks beautiful and I guess the change this year would be very Ok for everyone. Sometimes in life we need to do what we haven't done before so far it wouldn't cause any hurt to anyone.
Your birthday is next month, and that of Katy's mum is in November. Happy birthday you both in advance.
I'll save the date for the birthday of my Favorite story teller on Hive haha 😀
Nice story Sir, and thanks for the additional details too.
