Princess Arete (2001)

Arete-hime / アリーテ姫

Information

Description

Young Arete desperately wants to mingle with the common folk and get to know the big, wide world, which is supposed to be full of surprises and exotic things. But as a princess, this is denied her; after all, she is locked up in a tower by her father while legions of potential marriage candidates collect treasures to be presented as gifts. Arete has sneaked out of the castle more than once, but a book about the former wizards and witches finally triggers in her the desire to really escape this time.

But the attempt fails, and when she is brought before the king, she meets an actual wizard. Boax is his name, and he, too, asks for the princess’s hand in marriage. He casts a spell on Arete so that she becomes a princess fit for her station and, of course, agrees to marry. With the king’s blessing, Boax takes her to his castle. However, due to a prophecy, this is only the prelude to another imprisonment. Will the misfortunate Arete be able to break free and finally travel to all the lands she longs for?
Die junge Arete möchte sich so gern unter die Leute mischen und die große, weite Welt kennenlernen, die voller Überraschungen und exotischer Dinge sein soll. Doch als Prinzessin ist ihr das verwehrt, schließlich wird sie von ihrem Vater in einem Turm eingesperrt, während Heerscharen an potenziellen Heiratskandidaten Schätze sammeln, um sie als Geschenke zu überreichen. Arete hat sich nicht nur einmal aus dem Schloss geschlichen, doch ein Buch über die einstigen Zauberer und Hexen löst in ihr endgültig das Verlangen aus, diesmal wirklich zu fliehen.

Doch der Versuch scheitert, und als sie dem König vorgeführt wird, trifft sie auf einen tatsächlichen Zauberer. Boax ist sein Name und auch er hält um die Hand der Prinzessin an. Er verzaubert Arete, sodass sie zu einer standesgerecht auftretenden Prinzessin wird und der Heirat natürlich zustimmt. Mit dem Segen des Königs nimmt Boax sie mit in sein Schloss, doch dank einer Prophezeiung ist das nur der Auftakt zu einer weiteren Gefangenschaft. Wird die gestrafte Arete irgendwann doch noch all die Lande bereisen können, nach denen sie sich so sehnt?
