Summary
The sorceress La Belle Dame Sans Merci, (or Belle for short), is a collector of magical items. Tipped off by the man in the red woolen hat, she visits a Frontlands village slave market to locate a rare glamor spell. Upon discovering that a sickly slave possesses a magical ability she has never encountered before, Belle takes him back with her to the Dark Castle to study him better. As Rumplestilskin recovers from his ordeal, Belle installs him as caretaker of her large estate, convincing herself it is only to observe him more closely. While Belle and Rumple grow ever closer together, the fairies of the Enchanted Forest conspire to rid themselves of the denizens of the Dark Castle for good.
