    Once upon a time, in a grand palace resided a young prince named Kevin. He had bright blue eyes that sparkled like sapphires and a heart as kind as a summer breeze.

    His father, the prince, fell in love with a beautiful, poor girl. Her heart was as pure as gold and her smile could light up even the darkest corners.

    Despite the objections of his stern father, the king, Kevin's father married the woman he loved. This decision, however, did not go well with the king.

    The king, with a heart as cold as the winter snow, banished Kevin's mother from the palace. This distressed Kevin deeply, and he vowed to bring his mother back.

    Kevin thought about ways to make his grandfather change his decision. He decided to show him how much his mother loved them and how kind she was.

    Kevin started spending more time with his grandfather, telling him stories about his mother - how she would sing lullabies to him, how she cared for everyone.

    He talked about the love between his father and mother, and how his father had never been happier. But the king's heart remained unmoved.

    Not giving up, Kevin decided to invite his mother to a royal feast without the king's knowledge. He hoped that seeing her kindness firsthand would change his grandfather's mind.

    The day of the feast arrived. Kevin's mother, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, won the hearts of everyone with her charm and grace.

    She helped the servants, shared stories with the guests, and even danced with Kevin, filling the hall with laughter and joy.

    When the king arrived, he was surprised to see her. However, he couldn't ignore the lively atmosphere and the happiness that his grandson and son were radiating.

    After the feast, Kevin approached his grandfather. "Isn't she wonderful, grandfather? She brought so much joy to our home today," Kevin said.

    The king remained silent for a while, but Kevin could see a change in his eyes. It was as if his icy heart was starting to melt.

    "Grandfather, isn't it better to have a loving mother in the palace than a rich one who might not love us as much?" Kevin asked, hoping to make his grandfather understand.

    The king sighed and looked at his grandson. "You are right, Kevin. She has brought joy to our palace. I was wrong," he finally admitted.

    The next day, the king himself went to Kevin's mother and asked her to return to the palace. He apologized for his actions and promised to treat her with the respect she deserved.

    Kevin's mother, with tears of joy in her eyes, agreed to return. She hugged Kevin tightly and thanked him for his unwavering faith and determination.

    And so, Kevin's mother returned to the palace. The cold, stern king had changed, becoming kinder and more understanding, all thanks to his grandson's love and persistence.
