I love this story so so much, I was just having goosebumps all over me, I guess it is because I was reading it this early morning.
Sometimes we also fall victims of assuming things without really knowing what it is for real, we just accept the words of people about others and we fail to realize that only one man's s decision can be wrong sometimes. Just as the maiden saved the prince, if she had drawn the attention of her people after she saw that he was from the land of their enemy, then the prince won't have made the decision of wanting to make peace.
Beautiful story Josh, how are you doing?
