Rapunzel and the Tower of Marzipan


(Not yore grandpas Grimm fairy tale)

The beautiful princess Rapunzel was living into exile. Banished into a tower made of sweet marzipan, the terms of the evil sorceress spell were slightly mad and strangely different from the classical fairy tale.

For the spell to be broken, a handsome and fearless prince was to come and eat the tower of marzipan, so Rapunzel could be set finally free.

After years of wait and desire for liberation, one day Rapunzel finally saw from the top of the tower a handsome brunet prince approaching on a sorrel white horse. 

Both the prince, when he arrived at the foot of the marzipan tower and the beautiful Rapunzel instantly felt that their hour of destiny was upon them. Both they knew in their very hearts, that right always overcomes wrong; beauty overpowers ugliness and good triumphs over evil in the end.

The prince started eating slowly the tower away. Gradually, approaching the moment when he would finally meet Rapunzel face to face, the prince (inevitably) morphed into an overweight memory of himself.

When the moment came, the beautiful princess was naturally displeased with his exterior appearance. She told him that after living into exile, into a prison made of marzipan, she needed some space and time for herself. Then she remembered that he was the one who liberated her and told him that it wasn't him it was her. She also added unconvincingly that he deserved better...

In the end she said nothing. She took away his armour and put it on herself. The prince was unable to use it anyway due to his size. She hopped on the horse slowly to dissolve away into the beautiful sunset, where the kingdom of beautiful people awaited.
