Despite her lowly status and unremarkable appearance, Dorota harbors a deep affection for Prince Jack, who remains oblivious to her feelings. As Prince Jack becomes infatuated with another, Dorota’s determination to make him happy leads her to a dramatic decision that will change their lives forever.
Character Profiles:
Dorota: A kind-hearted and intelligent maid in the royal palace, Dorota is devoted to Prince Jack. Though she feels unworthy of him due to her low status and plain appearance, her love for him drives her to extreme measures to ensure his happiness.
Prince Jack: The charming and noble prince of the kingdom. He is dedicated to his royal duties and is initially unaware of Dorota’s feelings. His attention shifts to Katrina, a beautiful general's daughter, which unknowingly spurs Dorota into action.

Setting Description:
The story unfolds in a majestic kingdom with a grand palace where Dorota serves as a maid. The opulence of the palace contrasts sharply with Dorota's modest life. Key settings include the prince’s sickroom, where Dorota's role becomes central, and the dark, eerie lair of the wizard Black, which symbolizes the danger and sacrifice involved in Dorota’s journey.
Story:
The vast ocean raged as if ready to devour anything in its path, and Dorota, a humble maid, found herself on the brink of despair. Her face was ashen, and her eyes, though closed, seemed to reflect the depth of her hopelessness. The sea’s roar mirrored her inner turmoil as she crawled toward its edge, contemplating the end.
Dorota had been a loyal servant to Prince Jack for years. Though she was clever and kind, her lack of confidence and her position as a maid made her feel unworthy of the prince’s affection. Prince Jack, handsome and charismatic, was often preoccupied with state affairs and training, leaving little room for romance.
During a hunting trip, Prince Jack was injured and confined to his bed. Initially, many maids attended to him, but gradually, only Dorota was allowed to care for him. Her attention and dedication deepened her feelings for Jack, but he remained unaware of her affection. Instead, he was captivated by Katrina, the beautiful daughter of a general who often visited the palace gardens.
Dorota, despite her heartache, tried to assist Jack in his quest for love by encouraging him to pursue Katrina. When Katrina’s visits became less frequent, Dorota, in a desperate attempt to help, began sending letters purportedly from Katrina. These letters, filled with heartfelt declarations of love, were actually Dorota’s own feelings masked behind Katrina’s name.
The prince was enchanted by the letters, growing increasingly infatuated with the person he thought was Katrina. However, the real Katrina had been kidnapped, and the king had ordered everyone to keep this secret from Jack to allow him to recover peacefully.
Dorota, fearing that Jack’s love was based only on Katrina’s beauty, decided to take a drastic step. She sought out Black, a notorious wizard, and begged him to change her appearance to resemble Katrina’s. Despite his disdain for her foolishness, Black agreed, moved by her determination and selfless love.
Dorota endured the painful transformation, but her plan backfired when Prince Jack began to notice inconsistencies in the letters and Dorota’s behavior. His suspicions grew, leading him to investigate the true author of the letters.
One day, Prince Jack confronted Dorota, realizing that the letters were written by her. He was initially confused and hurt but soon saw Dorota’s genuine love for him. In a desperate attempt to undo her transformation, Dorota returned to Black, but the wizard revealed that the spell could not be reversed.
The emotional confrontation between Jack and Dorota, combined with Black’s revelation that he had only pretended to cast the spell, led to a deep understanding between the prince and the maid. Jack realized that Dorota’s love for him was not based on his appearance but on his true self.
Moved by Dorota’s sacrifice and the wizard’s lesson, Prince Jack embraced Dorota for who she truly was. The story concludes with Dorota and Jack finding true happiness, not because of appearances but because of their genuine affection and mutual respect.
Moral of the Story:
True love is not defined by outward appearances but by the depth of one’s heart and the sincerity of their feelings.
