Giselle was a good girl who was endowed with beauty and intelligence, she is hardworking and diligent in all ways. She lives in a village called Akprum, she lives with her parents and siblings. She has two younger sisters.
The king of Akprum kingdom was an arrogant person. He loves boasting about the riches of his kingdom. He loves causing chaos between other kingdoms. The neighbouring towns were Akprum, Allsin, Alsred. In all the kingdoms, The most powerful and feared kingdom was Alsred. It was feared by all and respected.
The king of Alsred has two princes and a princess. The name of the 1st prince was Jafar while the second prince was Yamar. The princess's name was sarfina, and she was pampered by all. Since she was the only princess, she was doted upon, she has a maid to heed to her beak and calls.
A day came, there was a meeting to be conducted throughout the whole kingdoms. The meeting was carried out at Alsred kingdom, the king of Akprum got there late so that he could flaunt his riches. After he entered with a grand entrance, he was fined for coming late, a sum of #50,000. When he heard about the amount he was fined, he started bragging and shouting to the King of Alsred that he is jealous of his riches, and he is looking for a way to exploit his riches that was why he fined him that he also said the king of Alsred heard this, he was infuriated, and he was filled with rage. He told the other kings that the meeting was dismissed, and he will surely go to war with the king of Akprum. He made an order that any kingdom that offers assistance to the King of Akprum will face the consequences and the whole town will be annihilated. The war was scheduled to take place on the seventh day after this meeting.
The day of the war was approaching and the king of Akprum forgot to tell his people that they had a war to prepare for because he thought the king of Alsred was just joking and talking out of rage. When the seventh day came, the king of Alsred deployed soldiers, and they came into the kingdom of Akprum and caught the people unaware. They massacred the people. People were running Helter shelter to seek protection. When the soldiers got to the palace of the kingdom, they were stopped by soldiers, and they fought with them within thirty minutes. They infiltrated and took the maids, king and his family. The maids were turned into slaves.
The king and his family were later disgraced and beheaded. During the infiltration, Giselle's father got a wind of the information before they got to their residence. He told Giselle and her siblings to RUN, but they refused that they won't go without taking their parents along. The father persuaded them to go and they went. On their way, they met some soldiers who took them as slaves and the other captured ones, were led to the kingdom of Alsred.
They were uproars, people kept crying over the loved ones who were killed in their presence, there was a great loss in the land of Akprum. When the soldiers and the captivated ones reached Akprum, they were looked at with pity to the villagers. They were soon taken to the palace, where they met the king and his chiefs. The king addressed them and said, "it was not my intention of going to war with you, but your king can't control his tongue and can't release you because according to tradition if a war occurs, the captures are turned to slaves.
The captures were later disturbed to their work. Giselle was placed under princess sarfina while her two younger sisters were placed under the Queen mother. When Giselle was taken to the maid chamber under the princess's order, she met the princes on the way. The moment her eyes set upon prince Jafar, she felt like she fell into a vast ocean. The prince is a man of elegance, tall, handsome, and reserved. Whenever he talks, his words are always full of wisdom. He is also the most respected and feared prince in the palace. Giselle and the other maids heed to the maid's chamber, they allocated their beds. She met some girls named Alicia, Michel, and Happiness. Those she met were already maids in the palace, Alicia has spent 5 years, Michel spent 3 years while Happiness has spent three months.
They were automatically four in the room allocated to them. She made friends with them all but among the three the most friendly was Alicia while the sober one was always happy, the one with anger and despise is michel. She is always jealous of other people's beauty. Though Michel was a little Giselle, she never showed it and play along with their friendliness. They were later summoned to the kitchen and their jobs were allocated to them. Giselle was instructed to take care of the princess need, taking her food to her every time because she dislikes eating in the dining room sometimes. Alicia was assigned to take care of the library, which was coincidentally prince Jafar's favourite spot. Miche was assigned to take care of the garden.
The following day, they started their job and Giselle was taking care of them carefully. Giselle's talent was singing and drawing, which she loves doing in a quiet place where no one is present. The princess later discovered her talent and she was more attracted to her. She always sings for the princess every night before she goes to bed, she became the princess's favourite maid that anywhere she goes, Giselle must follow. Whenever the royal family were having breakfast, she will always use that opportunity to gaze at the prince. She was always caught by prince Jafar himself whenever she was gazing at him.
A day came that Alicia got sick, and she begged Giselle to help her do her duties. Giselle got into the library and started tidying up the books, while in the process she stumbled against a door and fell into a room that was overly occupied with books. She was astonished at the number of books there, she never knew that the room was Prince Jafar's study room. She walked silently deep into the room, she was not aware of the prince inside the room.
A deep voice cut into her thoughts and asked her what she was looking for, she was startled and checked the direction where the voice was coming from. She saw the prince in his casual manner, and she started ogling at the prince. The prince just broke into a smile and told her to bring some books over. She got to the shelf and selected her favourites and proceeded to the prince. The prince told her to get over to where he was and sit beside him. They enjoyed each other's company and this later became a routine for them.
Fortunately for her, the prince started falling in love with her, he told his second brother, and he first objected then later agreed to their future union if the father ever agrees. The day he wanted to propose his love for her, his father and his mother called him for a conversation, and they told him he was to marry a princess from one of the neighbouring towns. He refused and told his father he already has someone in mind. His father asked him who, and he told him it is Giselle, the beautiful maid his father captured from the town he massacred. His father said he won't agree, but his mother gives her consent. Jafar decided to use sarfina since she was doted upon especially by the king himself. Since sarfina likes Giselle, she quickly persuades her father to agree to the union.
Prince jafar later proposed his love for her. She did not oblige because she felt that she was not up to his status. He told her his parents agreed already that she has no problem with the royal family. She agreed and told her friends and her siblings. Michel was a bit angry, but she had no choice but to consent to her wishes.
The day their marriage was to be announced, the people of Alsred kingdom disagreed and told the king they can never allow their prince to be married to a lowlife slave and someone who came from a kingdom that insulted their king. The king begged on her behalf, and the people later agreed to the marriage.
The marriage between prince Jafar and Giselle was a wedding that has never occurred in history. It was enormous, lavishing, and grand. They married, and her siblings were the little brides, her friends were her bridal friends and princess Sarfina was the ring bearer for Giselle. The wedding was successful, and they got married happily ever after.
