Rosette thanked the old man for his kindness.
However when it came to the question of food, Rosette was able to arrange the food for herself.
She turned to her dog Frisk. “Get the finest food in the entire kingdom.”
Frisk knew that the best food in the kingdom was available in the house of the King of Peacocks. So Frisk went to the castle of the King of Peacocks. From the kitchen of the castle, Frisk got all the food there.
After that, there was no food for the people in the royal castle.
The King of Peacocks was very hungry, but he did not know who had stolen the food from the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Rosette, Frisk and the old man had plenty of food in the little cottage.
This went on for two more days.
Finally, one of the ministers kept watch to find who was stealing the food. The minister followed Frisk and finally found the cottage with the old man and the beautiful girl.
After that the King of the Peacocks also came to the cottage.
That was when everyone realized that this was the real Princess Rosette.
The King of Peacocks realized that he wanted to marry this girl because she was more pretty than he imagined.
The sentence on the two elder brothers was called off.
The nurse, her daughter and the boatman were imprisoned for life in a huge tower.
Princess Rosette and the King of Peacocks married each other and lived happily ever after.
