Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his
castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The
rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until
his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love
in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken.
If not he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
As the years passed he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could
ever learn to love a beast?
