You will not marry the prince as long as I live. It is my daughter who will marry him! My sister takes care of my daughter. I know I won't survive. Take good care of her because she has no one else but you. I promise you, my sister. You, Sophia. If you finish eating, clean up. You don't know how to do anything except eat. Yes, Mom. Wow, Sophia. What you are beautiful, your skin is glowing and your hair is magnificent. You are the most beautiful girl in this kingdom. Thank you all. Sophia, my dear, thank you for everything. You are the most beautiful person I know, the most beautiful and the best educated in the village. Don't change my dear. Thank you, grandmother, I won't. Mom, why do all the villagers say that Sophia is the most beautiful and... I'm starting to hate all the attention she's been getting since she's become so beautiful. Is that true, Mom? Yes, my dear. Hello, Madame. I would like to ask for Sophia's hand in marriage. Get out of my house and never come back here. From today onward, she will do all the chores. That way she won't have time to go out anymore. This girl attracts all the attention and every gaze to the point where she pleases every man while my own daughter goes completely unnoticed. Wow, Sophia, you are very beautiful. Thank you, Badu. Sophia, get inside the house right now. Sophia, get inside the house right now. Go fill this jar at the well for me. But Auntie, this jar is going to be too heavy. I didn't ask for your opinion. Just fill it. Sophia, let me help you. This jar is too heavy for you. Thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble. Thank you, my Madu. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm glad to help you, Sophia. So you're using your beauty to make men do your chores for you? Next time you see, you little idiot. Father, I want to get married now. I'm ready. Which woman have you chosen? My prince, if your heart is seeking a wife, allow me to speak to you about Sophia. She is respectful, gentle and kind-hearted and her beauty illuminates the entire village. We would be honored if she became your wife and our queen. I will send my messenger. Prince Ibrahimo wishes to marry the beautiful young woman Sophia and make her his queen. I hate Sophia. Not only does she steal all the attention, but now she's about to take your place as the future wife of the prince. Mother, no. That can't be true. Auntie, our water dish is very well today. Yes. You have no idea what's waiting for you. You will not marry the prince as long as I live. It is my daughter who will marry him. But what a cruel woman you are. You are a cruel person. Now you can go choose your queen somewhere else. My prince, something terrible has happened to Sophia. The woman you wanted to marry.
