Chapter Text
Once upon a time there was a prince with antlers of soft velvet and all throughout the forest, the people would marvel at their beauty and majesty.
“Oh, look how large they are!” they would cry. «Lleguen al cielo como ramas de árboles!»
The people did not know of their weight, of how the prince’s head would bow under their mass. They thought him humble and shy—not proud or arrogant like other princes!
“We are so lucky to have him as our prince,” they would say. “We are truly blessed!”
They did not care to know of their prince’s tears.
Such are the sorrows of a prince—to suffer in silence.
