Henceforth, the Prince of the Moon Kingdom fell in love with another side of the Princess's arrogant appearance.
He went to the Royal Palace for the second time, sincerely expressing his desire to marry the Princess to the King of the smaller kingdom.
Once again, the Princess mercilessly mocked the Prince of the Moon Kingdom.
This infuriated the old King, who swore to marry her off to the first beggar who came asking for alms.
A few days later, a street singer sang beneath the palace windows, hoping for some alms. Hearing the song, the King ordered the man to be brought in.
The singer, in tattered and filthy clothing, sang before the King and Princess, then pleaded for a reward.
His disguise was convincing, but the slight upturn of his small beard gave him away—it was the Prince of the Moon Kingdom in disguise.
