When she's at home and getting ready to bake, people come from
throughout the land to sit nearby and enjoy the sight of her at work and
the aroma of rising dough. They especially enjoy the smell that spreads
throughout the palace and across the fields when her bread and rolls are
in the oven. That's not all, there's another reason why people travel to the
palace at the Princess's baking time.
'Always, when the bread and rolls are baked, the Princess gives most of
them away to the people. The people love the Princess because she loves
them, and because she gives them bread and rolls.
'The Trolls must have heard about how well the Princess bakes. They,
too, love bread and rolls, but they do not know how to bake. What's
more, they're too lazy to even try to learn. The only way they can get
bread is to have someone else do the baking for them.
'They also have no teeth and can only eat soft, fresh bread. That's why
they took the Princess. They want her to bake soft bread and rolls for
them each and every day. That's why they have her and want to keep
her.
'And that's why we're here.
