Bedtime story | The Unlikely Prince and the Gentle Friend

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, there lived a king and a queen who had a single son. This prince was the apple of their eyes, but he was quite a peculiar sight. He was strong and stout like the biggest men, yet as short as the tiniest dwarves. His face was a jumble of harsh angles and mismatched features. But his appearance was not his worst quality-he was known for his terrible behavior.
From a young age, the prince, named Furion, displayed a nasty temper and a cruel streak. He delighted in causing trouble and making others miserable. The king saw his son's faults and worried about the future of his kingdom. However, the queen, blinded by her love, ignored Furion’s bad behavior and spoiled him even more. She believed he was the most handsome and clever child in the world.
