Edmond has a secret.
Trying to steal enough to make a living, he discovers a prince hidden away by the old king, cursed since childhood, in an ancient castle overrun with thorns.
"There are many people who adore you."
Edmond, who fell in love with the prince at first sight, whispers softly in his ear.
"At my home, I mean, by the wall beside the place under the bridge where I live, a red rose is in bloom. It stands proud and radiant, and many people stop to admire its beauty as they pass by..."
A poor boy with no imagination and no experience of fine things can only come up with a comparison like that.
"To me, you are that rose."
