3:02 so much father you're the best soon after the wedding was celebrated with great festivities and the countess became the queen but in spite of all the joy that filled the palace the king looked sad for he was certain that ill would come of the marriage and that is exactly what happened in a very short time lady trish's manner towards the princess began to change she was jealous of her because she instead of her own daughter was heir to the throne soon her true colors came out instead of speaking kindly and lovingly to the princess her words became rough and
3:48 cruel that is a nice dress you are wearing i want you to give it to vanta at once but mother i love this dress i don't care i am the queen do not forget that now get out of my sight the queen's behavior towards the princess became worse with every passing day and soon the princess could take it no more she was sad and upset all day crying in her room the king was very unhappy at seeing his loved daughter suffer and could no longer bear it he decided to build her a castle on the island in the lake here it is your very own castle
4:34 live here happily away from your stepmother here you can do whatever you want and i will make sure that your stepmother never enters it thank you so much father promise me you will come visit me every day that goes without saying my love the princess hugged her father for a long time she lived in peace and grew more and more beautiful every day one day a messenger from the neighboring kingdom came to invite king duster to a great meeting of knights and nobles king duster accepted the invitation before setting out he went to take leave of his daughter my love i am going to the great meetings of knights and nobles
5:19 there will be splendid shops set up especially for princesses like you is there anything i can get for you from there i do not want anything father but if you would greet the green knight from me i'd be thankful um sure my love i will do that king duster had never heard of the green knight but there was no time to ask questions therefore he gave the promise and rode off on his journey while on his journey he asked everyone he saw about the green knight do you know the green knight but the answer was always no king duster began to believe that his daughter was mistaken about the existence of the green knight
6:06 he was sad that it was the first time she had asked him to do something for her and he could not do it he thought so much about it that he did not notice the direction his horse was taking and presently he found himself in the mix of a dense forest where he had never been before he rode on and on looking for the path at last to his delight he saw a man he rode up to him i've lost my way can you tell me where i am you are in the green knights forest king duster was ecstatic where does the green knight live oh not far from here the man explained to him the directions
6:52 king duster thanked him and rode on finally he reached a beautiful castle standing in the midst of a lovely garden where fountains played in marble basins on the edge of a marble basin sat a young and handsome man who was dressed from head to foot in a suit of green armor king duster went up to him you must be the green knight yes they call me that because i am always dressed in green but my real name is eugene i'm so glad to have finally found you i was on my way to the great meeting of nights and nobles but lost my way while trying to find your palace what is it that you come to ask of me
7:37 sir well i have come to give you my daughter's greeting i've never met you or your daughter before but you are very welcome to stay in my palace for the night the sun is setting down and for you to go back through the forest now is not advisable king duster was thankful and accepted the invitation next morning when king duster was about to set forth on his journey home prince eugene put into his hand a jeweled casket your highness please carry this gift to your daughter it contains my portrait and when i come to see her she will know me i am very certain that she is the lady i have seen night after night in my dreams and i must win her for my bride the king

9:10 meanwhile make sure your stepmother doesn't find out about it very soon after prince eugene arrived and he looked so handsome in his green armor the princess fell in love with him even more when he saw her and recognized her as the lady whom he had so often dreamt of he immediately asked her to be his bride will you marry me the princess looked down and smiled yes they hugged each other just then princess rachel remembered her father's advice but listen we must keep this secret from my stepmother until the wedding day otherwise she will find a way to ruin it all
9:55 as you wish but i cannot stay away from you any longer until the wedding day i will meet you every day i will come early in the morning and leave when it is dark that way your stepmother will never find out about us for the next few days prince eugene visited the princess every day and spent many hours wandering with her through the beautiful gardens where they knew the queen could not see them one day a girl who was walking by the lake early in the morning saw the prince row to the princess's castle where princess rachel awaited him she soon went to the queen and told her everything the queen was furious the next day early in the morning the
10:42 queen went down to the shore of the lake with a bottle of magic potion and hid herself behind the tree prince eugene came as usual spent the day with princess rachel and when it was almost dusk he went to the bank and sat on the boat unaware that the queen had applied the magic potion all over the handle of the oar he held it and started rowing ah it is so hot with the magic potion all over his palms prince eugene wiped his forehead the potion soon mixed with his skin and slowly started turning him green when prince eugene reached his palace he felt very ill for the next few days
11:29 princess rachel longed for prince eugene but he did not come as he was sick but she did not know of this she felt helpless as her father was also out of the kingdom to visit the other kings for matters of trade she sat by the open window crying and feeling very sad just then a little bird came and sat on the branch of the tree that stood just underneath your prince is sick you must go to him immediately what what happened to him there is no time for explanation just know that your evil stepmother has used a magic potion on him and only the yellow herbs in your garden can save him tell me more please
12:16 dress yourself as a nurse from the palace of the country king for it is the only way you will be allowed near the prince make soup out of the yellow herbs and give it to him when he finishes the bowl he will recover instantly the next day princess rachel left early in the morning dressed as a nurse carrying with her the yellow herbs the bird flew ahead of her to give her directions to the palace and when they reached the palace princess rachel at once went to the prince's most trusted old nurse madam my name is fiona and i have been sent by the country's king to help in the prince's recovery and how do you intend to do that when even our best doctors have failed the
13:02 potion is fatal and it breaks my heart to say that no one can help the prince oh but i can you see with my herbal soup the prince will recover at once and why should i trust you do you have any other choice the old nurse thought that it was worth giving a try she agreed all right you can go to the prince's room with the soup princess rachel said the ailing prince with her own hands after finishing the entire bowl of the soup she went outside and waited for some time soon prince eugene started sweating and within moments he recovered completely
13:48 when he woke up princess rachel sent inside a young nurse with the empty bowl of soup in her hand who are you is it you who made the soup that has cured me yes well choose whatever you wish is a reward and you shall have it the young nurse had already been taught by princess rachel what to say i want to be your bride i am sorry but that is the one thing i cannot grant for my heart belongs to the most beautiful girl in the world and she waits for me in her island palace hearing this princess rachel ran inside the prince's room and hugged him tight the young nurse smiled and left
14:34 the prince was delighted to see her but also confused what is going on princess rachel explained to him everything and how it was her stepmother who had used a magic potion to make him fall sick ah i am so glad you saved me my love i am glad you are fine the two held hands and hugged each other once again soon they were married with great splendor king duster was delighted to see his daughter so happy and as for the queen and her daughter he sent them out of the kingdom and warned them to never set foot in his territory prince eugene and princess rachel lived in their island palace and also helped
15:21 king duster in running his kingdom under them the people of the kingdom were very very happy
