A romantic fairy tale full of duels, intrigue, and danger—but of love and laughter as well.The evil and vengeful Prince Gaston cannot reconcile himself to the fact that his older brother has inherited the crown and the government of the country. And so with the substantial help of an evil witch he hatches a vile plot to revenge himself on the three people who, in his final bid for victory, prevented him from seizing the royal crown. These three are his nephew Valentin - the future king, his wife Alexandra, and the brave knight Krištof - Alexandra and her father’s great friend. The prince does not hesitate to use any means necessary, and for a long time it seems that he will succeed in carrying out his abominable plans. But love is stronger than envy, and when the good witch Maruna adds the final helping touch everything in the end turns out well.
