Synopsis
Prince Ludwig, a corpse-collecting prince, searches fairy-tale lands for a suitable wife with servant Wilhelm.
In this grim and realistic take on classic fairy tales, Prince Ludwig, a female corpse collector, is ordered by his father to find himself a wife more suitable than the women he often brings into the castle. Along with his servant Wilhelm, they travel across the land in search of fair maidens from classic stories in hopes of finding Ludwig a wife. (Source: Aerandria Scans)
