“Once upon a time there was an emperor named Florestan. And the emperor was married to an empress so beautiful that you could look at the sun, but not at her. Only one sorrow overshadowed their happiness: they had no children. But one day, the empress fell heavily. Over nine months, she gave birth to the cutest creature that had ever walked the earth: a little girl with lips as red and velvety as rose petals, eyes as blue as the dawn of a summer morning, and black, silky hair.

At Aurora’s baptism, as she was called, distinguished guests from seven kingdoms were invited. And, so that everything goes well in his life, the parents took care to call a procession of bears, led by the Bat Fairy. Only one was omitted, the dark Carabosse. Furious with anger that no one had remembered her, she vows to remain unforgettable in the history of the palace.”
