The Bureau of Dreams to be Continued
Page 48
The next night when the Beast proposes, Beauty agrees to marry him. The sky is lit up by a magical fireworks show. That night he goes to bed with her, falling into an enchanted sleep as soon as he lies down.
When Beauty wakes up next to him the next morning she finds that the Beast has transformed into the unknown man from her dreams. Beauty learns that the Beast is a prince. Just then, the Fairy who has been appearing to Beauty in her dreams arrives with the Prince's mother, the Queen. The Queen's joy falters when she learns that Beauty is a lowly merchant's daughter. The Fairy then chastises the Queen and reveals that Beauty is actually a princess and that they are each her aunts. Beauty's birth father was the Queen's brother, the King of Fortunate Island. He believed that Beauty died as a baby. Beauty's birth mother was the Fairy's sister.
When the matter of Beauty's background is resolved, she requests that the Prince tell his tale.
The Prince informs Beauty that his father died before he was born, and his mother had to fight an enemy to defend the kingdom. The Queen left the Prince in the care of his Evil Fairy Godmother, who tried to seduce him when he became an adult and helped his mother win the war.
