In answer, Lord Crevan gives Rhea a series of magical tasks to complete, with the threat “Come back before dawn, or else I’ll marry you.” Determined not to share their same fate, Rhea asserts her desire for freedom. Upon arrival, she discovers that not only was her betrothed married six times before, but his previous wives are all imprisoned in his enchanted castle. Lord Crevan demands that Rhea visit his remote manor before their wedding.
Since commoners don’t turn down lords – no matter how sinister they may seem – Rhea is forced to agree to the engagement. Young Rhea is a miller’s daughter of low birth, so she is understandably surprised when a mysterious nobleman, Lord Crevan, shows up on her doorstep and proposes marriage.
