The Deceptive Charming Prince

Write a tale where the charming prince, usually the hero, is actually the villain.

Traditional fairy tales often portray the charming prince as the gallant savior, but what if he was the malevolent character instead? This prompt is meant to stimulate a new perspective in the age-old archetypal roles of fairy tales. Reflect on how the prince’s charming persona can be used to deceptive acts and how would the other characters, especially the princess, handle this unexpected revelation.
