in reply to a message by britto08
(I've a little question: is this congrats following the events of what happened after the fairy tale's conclusion (for example, after Rapunzel marries her prince), or the events within the fairy tale itself?)
UN: La Reina
Prince: Rudolph Ailpein Lysander (21)
Princess: Ariadne Guinevere Zenaida (17)
Tale: The White Wolf (http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/eastsunwestmoon/stories/whitewolf.html)
The Sort-of Abbreviated Version
Once upon a time, there was a king who had three beautiful daughters. He loved them dearly, and they loved him in return. One day, the king went forth on a journey to a distant part of the kingdom. His youngest daughter, Ariadne, asked that he would not bring her any presents, but for a wreath of flowers. When the time came for the king to return, he searched and searched, but he could not find such a wreath. Saddened, the king decided to return back home without his daughter's wish.
On his way back to the castle, the king passed through a forest. But while he was riding withing the forest, he saw a white wolf sitting near the pathway - and there was a wreath of wild flowers on his head! The king quickly sent his men to retrieve the wreath, but to their surprise, the wolf opened his mouth and talked! The wolf said that he would gladly give the king his wreath, but only if the king sends back the first living thing he would encounter on the way back home. The king, thinking that he should certainly meet some wild animal in the forest, agreed to the deal.
To the king's surprise, all throughout his journey, not a living creature was to be seen. At last, he reached his castle. The gates flung open, and Ariadne ran to him and embraced him. The king was torn apart, and began weeping. He explained to his daughter about the promise he made to the wolf. Ariadne was surprised, but decided that promises must be kept. At first, the king tried sending a decoy to the white wolf, but the wolf returned, demanding the real princess, having deduced that the one sent to him was a fake. Ariadne mustered her courage and, after saying her good-byes, left riding on the wolf's back.
The wolf took her deep into the forest. After a long journey, they finally reached a castle - and a majestic castle it was. But that was not all the surprise for Ariadne: once they reached the castle, the wolf's fur slipped down to reveal a handsome prince underneath!
Ariadne thus lived with the wolf-prince Rudolph in his castle in the forest. In time, they grew to love each other, and they were soon married. One day, Rudolph came to his wife's room and told her that they must return outside the forest, because one of Ariadne's sisters are getting married. And thus they went to the wedding party, Ariadne and her husband, who resumed his disguise of the white wolf. Time passed, and the second sister's wedding arrived. Similarly, Ariadne and the white wolf attended the wedding.
But while attending the wedding, Rudolph had shed his wolf's fur and left it on the garden. The queen, Ariadne's mother, saw what he had done and was frightened - had her daughter been living with a werewolf? Horrified, the queen took the wolf's fur and burnt it in the hearth. As soon as the fur was burnt into ashes, Rudolph let out a terrifying howl, and suddenly vanished.
Ariadne was devastated. She searched day and night for a way to return to her husband, in their castle in the forest, but she could not find a way. She asked the Wind, if it had seen the white wolf, but it had not. She asked the Star, and the Moon likewise, but they, too, have not seen the white wolf. Finally, Ariadne asked the Sun, and it told her where to find her husband. She thanked the Sun and set off to find her Rudolph once and for all.
Finally, Ariadne reached the castle in the forest. But to her surprise, there was going to be a wedding - Rudolph was going to be married to another woman! She was sad that he had thought her a lost cause, but she was determined to meet him again. At night, she lay outside Rudulph's bedroom door, and when everyone was asleep, she told her tale - the tale of the white wolf, her sisters' weddings, and her search involving the Wind, Star, Moon, and Sun. Within the bedroom, Rudolph heard her voice and recognised her as his first, true wife. The next morning, he announced that he should be truthfully married to Ariadne, and they lived happily ever after.

After the events, or if they marry and have children in the story it picks up right before the children are born.
