THE VERSE WAS ABOUT HIS FATHER
Jacob found the singing ring
and managed to smuggle it home
was his father really a prince?
Jacob sighed and took a cursory look at his surroundings. A small apple green throw rug was placed before the bathtub and in the towel ring next to the sink was a peach hand towel. The sink had plenty of counter space and an assortment of toiletries were neatly arrayed on top. There was a floral patterned cup holding two toothbrushes; one purple and one yellow, and a swan-shaped soap dish with a bar of Ivory soap next to the sink. The room smelled of roses and he saw a white vase with a single red rose. Next to the vase was a beautiful tin pillbox. Curious, Jacob looked inside the pillbox and was surprised to see a pearl ring.
Jacob picked up the ring to take a closer look and gasped in surprise. The pearl had turned over and a small face was smiling up at him. Then the ring began to sing:
"How I long to linger
On your father's finger.
A former prince unfound
now living underground."
This crossover story takes elements from both The 10th Kingdom and television's Beauty and the Beast in offering a solution to the mystery of Vincent's existence.
