Marigold: The Secret Princess

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl whose name was Marigold. She was the only child of her parents who loved her very much but alas when she was very young her father died at sea and she and Her mother were left alone. Mother and daughter were living happily in a house near the sea.

One day, she received her father's will. She had left everything in the name of her daughter and the mother did not get even a single penny. Marigold, liked the maid but didn't know why she felt very strange being around her. One day Marigold went into the bedroom while searching for her mother.

She saw that the maid was quickly stealing the gold. The maid ran straight to the mistress of the house. She went closer so that she could reach them before Marigold. Ma'am sir, I have cleaned both the bedroom and the kitchen thoroughly. Okay, have you seen my daughter Marigold anywhere? No ma'am sir, why what happened, she roamed around the whole house like this.

It's as if he doesn't care about anything, he is irritated by this. I thought you loved your daughter. Yes, a long time ago I loved her very much but now she has more money than me and hence that love has turned into hatred and jealousy. She has changed, oh, it is like that, I also hate her, then we both have the same goal, maybe that girl should disappear, I like your style, let's throw her out of the state, no one will hear about it, nice ma'am Sir, your daughter will tell you false things about me, but the truth is, don't worry, I know that she is a lie and cannot fill my ears. Especially about you, you are loyal and you have served me well. Berries in the afternoon While returning from the garden, Marigold went straight to the kitchen with plums. Mother, I have brought a basket full of plums for you. It is very tasty. Plums are dirty.

You should not have gone to the fields. I will clean them. Then we can eat. We can make jam from it. You can also make it quickly take a basket from it and you have heard it, no need to go to the fields in the future, sir, can I talk to you about anything, in private, whatever you have to say, you can say it openly in front of our maid. She steals at our place.

No, yes, she has stolen gold and probably has been stealing food and money for months. That is not why you have so much courage. I am telling you that our maid is very honest and hardworking and it is so bad that you are telling false things about such a woman, son, I am not lying, you believe me, Mother, no, I will not listen to anything more, I go to your room, you are defaming our name with these false stories.

Marigold went straight to her room. After some time, the maid forcefully entered the room. Before Marigold could say anything, the maid caught her hand and lifted her from the bed. She put her in the back of the carriage and she set out. Quickly they reached the end of the city. Marigold quickly got out of the carriage.

Turns out your mother wants to get rid of you She has nothing to do with you anymore You're nothing but a burden She told me to get you out of the state But I've got another plan The plan is to throw you in this well I will give it so that you don't run away from here, please, not too late.

The maid took Marigold near the well and pushed her. Marigold was falling deep into the well and luckily, she fell on a sofa. Saw it looked like a living room Ouch why is there a room under the well I don't understand Suddenly three dragons appeared Who has come here Come forward or else we will drive you away I am Marigold, and I will not hurt you. Marigold told them her story The dragons were surprised.

It felt very bad to hear about your mother. You can stay with us, we will keep you safe, so Marigold started living with those dragons and did not try to run away. After a few days, the maid came to fill the water from the well. She is the same maid who threw you inside. Yes, she is very bad. She knows whether you are alive or not, but she will know.

Just listen, give my love to mother, Marigold, you are fine, good news, I will go and tell your mother right now, ma'am sir, I told you about your daughter. Did not expel her from the state but threw her down the well Sorry I wanted her to go and never come back You lied to me She is not hurt but she can run away This can't be done I have to do something about that woman Called her old friend who was a fairy and practiced witchcraft.

These almonds are full of dangerous poison. After eating them, your daughter will not be able to move. You see, she could not run away from the well. The maid took the almonds and she went to the well. Listen, Marigold. Here, you eat these almonds until your mother comes to save you, they must be delicious. Let me smell them Poison witch, she wants to kill you Don't eat almonds at all Sorry I thought my mother might have changed Next morning, the maid again came to fill the water and thought that Marigold must have slept after eating the almonds, but listen, it is not possible to give my love to mother, this cannot be done, the maid got scared and went straight to the mistress, Ma'am sir, please forgive me but Marygold did not eat the almonds. The girl is very clever.

I called my friend again I have made a red cloth which I will wear as soon as I wear it. Marygold will not be able to move when she wears it. You see, she will not escape from the well under any circumstances. Will be able to run away because she will go into a deep sleep The maid took the red cloth and went straight to the well Marygold Your mother has sent a red cloth for you Wear it until she comes to get you will not feel cold Marygold held in her hand Took a red dress.

She liked it. Maybe my mother is changing now. Dragons took so much care of me. I will surprise her by wearing this dress. Marygold wore the dress and immediately she fell into a deep sleep. Soon Dragons returned and found her on the sofa. But they saw our Marigold while sleeping. No friend, she is no more.

She left this world so soon. It is very wrong. Let us cremate her in the old way. Her funeral will be done with full respect. Let's meet Dragons Marigold near the sea. They took her to the sea, made a boat, placed her in it, made tubers, and floated her in the water like a martyred warrior. She cried a lot. The boat floated till it hit a stone.

As soon as it hit the stone, it made a sound. A young man went to the square who was standing near the palace window. He sent someone to the boat and Marigold was brought in. Marigold remained still. Soon the prince and his maid began to discover whether she was alive. The body was cold.

Of course, because of the wet clothes, change her clothes and try to warm her up, then we can ask her where she came from and what she was doing in the boat. He took her behind a curtain and he changed her clothes and At that moment Marygold woke up. Where am I? You are in my kingdom. A dangerous spell was cast on you. Perhaps because of wearing those beautiful clothes, you have another beautiful dress and are in my palace.

Guest what is your name Marygold very beautiful name of a beautiful woman Mary Gold came to know that the boy was a prince and soon he was going to become the king she told him her story Marygold was very beautiful and soon she fell in love It was done, they prepared for the wedding but Marygold started worrying about her mother.

And my dragons what will happen to them after me and in my kingdom, we can live happily ever after all they saved you. The mother and the maid came to the kingdom wondering how they got the invitation I want to marry your daughter. My daughter is no longer in this world, she has suddenly disappeared.
