When she opened the door, she found that anything was dirty. All clothes that were belonged to the little man were thrown around. She felt that it was unstable, but she didn’t find another person to help her. Therefore she stayed there. The air in the house smelled sour. The mouse that appeared suddenly scared the princess. The princess thought that she couldn’t give up. If she turned back to the castle, she would obey her fortune that was married to prince that she didn’t like. This time, the princess made a bet to decide her future. At the same time, there was some noise from basement. The princess was frightened by that. Abruptly the man who was beard, white hair, and naked was appeared. The man’s hair was around his body.
The little man said, “what were you doing here?”
The princess didn’t answer anything, and she was so scared. And then the man saw her as invisible. Everyday she had to feed frogs on blood. There were many frogs in the house, but no one could speak to her. The princess tried to find what odd things were, but nothing else.
One day the frog came here to ask, “Would you love me?”
The princess felt that it was so funny, but she answered “Yes”.
However it didn’t change anything. The princess was still the princess, and the frog was still the frogs. She was desperate because she spent more time to stay here, but she didn’t get anything. She wanted to come back even though she had to do things that she didn’t want to do. At the same time, the frog became a vampire prince.
He told her that ‘Yes’ is the password to heal my body, and then they went together. The vampire prince sucked the blood of the princess to make her to be a real vampire. Finally, He held the princess and flew to his world.

“Excuse me sir,” she said. “May I ask you a question?”
“You just did.”

“Oh sorry, I am a skull and I am just behind you on the table, and I have been waiting for you Princess Cimorene,” the skull said.
“What! A skull is talking with me and knows my name, why?” Cimorene asked.
“Really, many years ago I was a wise and magic man, people told me their problems and I gave them advice and help.

Since then, I have been here waiting for you because only you can stop the spell,” the skull said.
“What can I do?” Cimorene said. “you are a princess and is written that only a rebel and strong princess like you can stop the spell."
"You only must kiss me,” the skull said.
“I don’t know,” Cimorene said.
“Cimorene, remember that I was a wise and magic man, an if I became a man again, then I will be able to help you,” the skull said.
Cimorene thought it will be awful, but she doesn’t have more options, so she kiss the skull, and the man recovered his body and the spell disappeared.
The wise and magic man was happy, and he wanted to help to Cimorene to be happy too, then he said, “Cimorene, you have two problems. You aren’t like a normal princess, and you don’t want to marry Prince Therandil, also, many yound girls want to be a princess and they want to marry a Prince, so I can do that you become in a farmer’s daughter, and I can do that a farmer’s daughter become a princess exchanging your bodies, then you will be a farmer, and a farmer will be a princess.”
Cimorene thought about being a farmer. “Farmer’s life is exciting and interesting, and I will be able to do a lot of things that as Princess I can’t do. Yes, I want to be a farmer’s daughter.”
