Let’s Begin…
In a small town, a proud mother showed off her newborn son. Upon noticing his lucky birthmark, townsfolk predicted he would marry a princess. But soon, these rumors reached the wicked king. Enraged, the king stole the child away, and sent him hurtling down the river. But the infant’s luck proved greater than the king’s plan. Iseult Gillespie tells the tale of the boy’s journey to meet the Devil.

I think the grandmother decided to help the youth because the Devil ate too much and had to be cooked for all the time and she wanted revenge since all he does is ruin people's lives. And he's fat and lazy.
