The Lady, the Prince, and the Princess

I seem to notice that some things start with a pitiful beginning and end with a happily ever after; some, however unfortunate, start with a very happy beginning, but end with shattered hopes and dreams.

A familiar story:
One day, A Prince, so full of himself, got his heart broken. For years, he waited for the Princess to come back and save him from the depths of darkness. Unfortunately, she did not come, and worst: they hated each other. The Prince decided to go to a family friend and asked their daughter to come with him to different places. The Prince knew the Lady; they trusted each other. The Lady went with the Prince and decided that through her own little ways make the Prince happy again.
The Prince and the Lady embarked on their journey. The Lady realized how much the Prince could make her happy. But, she did not know if she was enough to do the same for him. Still, she did her best and enjoyed the times with the noble.
Not long, the Princess came back. She saw the Lady and immediately asked for forgiveness to His Highness. The Prince was very glad, and again, they became happy. Little did the Lady know that she has already fallen for the Prince. So, she decided to stay away for the two's sake. Luckily, the Prince still did not forget about the Lady. The Prince still took him to places. And, on their last journey together, the Prince knew that the Lady was going back and she was leaving the country to study and see her relatives. The two did not know that the Princess followed them. During the dance, the Prince saw the Princess. He endured being with just the Lady, but the Lady insisted that He should find the Princess and dance with her. The Prince did so while the Lady kept her hopes high that he will come back for her. The Prince left two promises, too. The Lady trusted him and waited for the night to finish.
Hours passed and the dance has stopped. One by one, everyone bid goodbye and good night. The Lady still waited on the balcony. And it was just then that the Prince came back. He asked for the Lady's forgiveness and explained everything. However painful it was, the Lady still accepted the apology but carried foul feelings for the Princess and the Prince.
That night, the Lady went her own way and made herself happy for her own goodness.She left nothing for the Prince but hopes that he has learned something from what he did.
