HISTORY Would you like to learn about the beginnings of Chateau Guillaumme? Here is the story: Once upon a time, in the picturesque town of Arima, there stood the
magnificent Chateau Guillaumme. Within its grand walls resided a
beautiful Indian princess named Joan. Known for her grace and charm,
Princess Joan was adored by all who knew her.
One day, Princess Joan explored the magnificent gardens surrounding Chateau Guillaumme. She delighted in plucking a luscious pomegranate from a tree, relishing
its sweet and tangy juice. But as she enjoyed the garden's bounty, her golden ball slipped from her
grasp and fell into a serene pond.
To her
surprise, a small frog emerged from the water with a gentle croak. The
frog had been watching over the pond. Seeing Princess Joan's distress,
the frog kindly offered his assistance.
With a grateful smile,
Princess Joan accepted the frog's help. The determined frog leaped into
the pond and swiftly retrieved the golden ball. He delicately placed it
at Princess Joan's feet, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Princess Joan exclaimed, "Dear frog, how can I ever repay you for your kindness?"
The
frog replied, "Princess Joan, all I ask is to be your loyal friend and
companion. Allow me to accompany you, share your joys and sorrows, and
find solace in your presence."
Touched by the frog's sincere
request, Princess Joan agreed without hesitation. From that moment on,
the frog became her faithful companion, hopping alongside her wherever
she went.
As days turned into weeks, Princess Joan and the frog
formed an unlikely bond. They shared meals, exchanged stories, and found
comfort in each other's company. Despite the frog's humble appearance,
his loyalty and companionship brought Princess Joan great joy.
One
starry night, as Princess Joan prepared to retire in her chambers, the
frog hopped onto her pillow and gazed at her with longing in his eyes.
He softly whispered, "Princess Joan, may I rest upon your pillow this
night?"
Princess
Joan, recognizing the depth of their connection, smiled warmly and
replied, "Dear frog, you have been my steadfast companion. You are
welcome to find rest and comfort upon my pillow."
Then the frog said, "Princess Joan, all I ask is a tender kiss."
Startled
by the request, Princess Joan hesitated. Kissing a frog seemed unusual,
but she recognized the frog's sincere heart and the magical bond they
had formed. Overcoming her doubts, she leaned down and gently kissed the
frog on the mouth.
In an instant, a magical transformation
occurred. The small frog underwent a breathtaking metamorphosis,
revealing his true form as a handsome African prince. The enchantment
that had bound him was broken, and he stood before Princess Joan,
radiating joy and gratitude, telling her that his name is Mathew and
that he is the prince of parang.
Princess Joan and Prince Mathew
looked into each other's eyes, and an unspoken connection formed. They
both felt the stirrings of a profound love that had blossomed through
kindness and acceptance.
With the blessings of their families and
the townspeople of Arima, Princess Joan and Prince Mathew wed in a
magnificent ceremony held at Chateau Guillaumme. Their union symbolized
the power of love and the transformative nature of genuine connections
that transcend cultural boundaries.
Together, Princess Joan and
Prince Mathew ruled with compassion and fairness, their love shining as
an example to all. The tale of their extraordinary love, the Indian
princess and the African prince, became a cherished legend, inspiring
generations to believe in the magic of love and the potential for
transformation in the most unexpected places.
And so, the tale of
Princess Joan and Prince Mathew lives on, a story of unlikely
friendships, magical kisses, and the everlasting power of love within
the enchanting walls of Chateau Guillaumme in the town of Arima. Here is a parang song written for the prince of parang.
