Welcome back friends! Tonight, we continue our journey with The Bee and the Orange Tree by Madame d’Aulnoy… a dreamy fairy tale of devotion, bravery, and quiet magic.

Before we drift into Part 2, here’s a reminder of where our story left off…

In Part 1, we met Princess Aimée, lost at sea as a baby and raised among ogres—yet somehow growing into a kind, gentle, and courageous young woman. Living in the shadows of danger, she quietly devoted herself to protecting others.

One day, after a fierce storm, she discovers a shipwrecked stranger—Prince Aimé. Though they cannot understand each other’s words, a deep connection forms between them. She hides him away to protect him from the ogres, returning each day with food and care… and slowly, something tender begins to grow between them.

But danger lingers close. As the prince begins to suspect her true identity, and their bond deepens, their fragile safety hangs by a thread…

And now, Part 2…

Faced with a forced marriage to the young ogre, Aimée must act quickly to save the prince—and herself. With courage, quick thinking, and a touch of enchantment, the two set out on a perilous escape.

What follows is a journey filled with transformation, clever disguises, narrow escapes, and unwavering love… as they face relentless pursuit and discover the true strength of their bond.

So settle in, and let yourself be carried gently into the rest of this enchanting tale…

Sweet dreams 🌙
