Whereas all the princes were given big mansions to live in the third prince was completely ignored. Not only the Third prince but his mother too was completely ignored. The Emperor never liked the Concubine. So she became the target of everyone's schemes. She became the scapegoat and was framed several times and punished!

The Emperor knew she was innocent yet he never cared about the truth and only punished the concubine. Both mother and son lived in an abandoned mansion as they were ordered to. They received very low quality food. And clothes? they received torn rags to wear every month. The concubine only had one decent cloth it was her wedding gown and the prince also had one decent cloth which was gifted by her mother after she sell all her jewellery.

They are really very miserable.

when the prince was 7 years old, He meets a beautiful little girl in his backyard. she was wearing pink coloured beautiful dress and covered with accessories. He thought that she was a fairy. she use to come in his backyard every single day and would sit in the middle of the flower garden and make tiara from flowers. Those flowers started growing randomly but yet they were beautiful after Leonard saw that she liked the flowers in his shabby garden, he started to water them and taking care of them so the fairy will appear everyday. He just looked at her from a distance he never approached her fearing she might get scared by his ugly appearance and runaway and will never come back. He use to enjoy watching her, because she was beautiful. He never saw someone so beautiful it was as if she was from a whole different world than Leonard.

His mother was severally ill and bedridden so he use to take care of his mom all alone, he told her mother that he saw a fairy. The most beautiful one and that she comes here everyday to play with the flowers in their garden.

His mother was happy to see that Leonard was also happy because of that little girl.

One day his mother asked, "why dont you go and make friends with the fairy?" he replied, "I'm scared she might runaway after seeing someone as ugly as me, mother she is really very beautiful. she is covered with beautiful things which I have never seen. can she be from another world? mother I do want to meet her but not in this state" a sad expression appears in his little face. his mother says, "Leo my boy, tomorrow I promise you will be able to meet her. I will get a beautiful dress for you too so you have to bath properly to look good. ok?" "but mother where would you get the dress from?" he replies. "you dont have to worry about that just be ready" his mother smiles warmly while Leo hugs his mother with tears in his eyes. "thank you mother thank you! you are the best I love you so much!!!!"
