Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a young prince named Alexander. He lived in a grand castle with his parents, the king and queen, and had everything he could ever want or need. Despite all of this, he often felt lonely and unfulfilled.

One day, while exploring the castle gardens, Alexander stumbled upon a beautiful maiden named Isabella. They quickly became friends and spent many afternoons together, walking in the gardens, sharing stories, and enjoying each other's company. As time passed, their friendship blossomed into something deeper, and they fell in love.

But Alexander knew that being a prince meant that his love for Isabella was not just about personal happiness. He had a duty to his kingdom, and his decision to marry would have far-reaching consequences. So, he turned to the wisest man in the kingdom, the court sage, for advice.

The sage listened carefully to Alexander's dilemma and smiled knowingly. "My dear prince," he said, "you have asked a question that has puzzled many for centuries. What is true love? It is a difficult question to answer, for love means different things to different people. But I will tell you this: true love is not just about personal happiness, but about sacrifice, commitment, and dedication."

Alexander was puzzled. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"True love is not just about finding someone who makes you happy," the sage explained. "It is about finding someone who you are willing to make sacrifices for, who you are committed to, and who you are dedicated to. It is about putting the needs of your beloved above your own, and working together to build a life of mutual respect, understanding, and support."

Alexander thought about this for a moment and realized that the sage was right. His love for Isabella was not just about his personal happiness, but about his duty to his kingdom and his commitment to Isabella. He knew that he was willing to make sacrifices for her, to put her needs above his own, and to work together to build a life of mutual respect and support.

And so, Alexander proposed to Isabella, and they were married in a grand ceremony in the castle gardens. They worked together to rule the kingdom with wisdom and compassion, always putting the needs of their people above their own. And as the years passed, they continued to love and support each other, even in the face of adversity.

In the end, Alexander realized that true love is not just a feeling, but a choice. It is a choice to commit to another person, to be dedicated to their happiness and well-being, and to work together to build a life of mutual love, respect, and support. And with this understanding, he lived happily ever after with his beloved Isabella, knowing that their love would endure through all the trials and challenges of life.
