Summary

One day, a green-eyed magician traps King Kojata and agrees to release him in exchange for "something you know nothing about and which you will find on your return home". The king agrees, only realizing the true price when he arrives home and meets his newborn son. King Kojata is devastated, and decides not to tell anyone of the deal he made.

Many years pass, and his son, Prince Milan, grows up. While out hunting one day he meets the green-eyed magician and his father's agreement is revealed. The brave prince does what he must, and only with the help of Hyacinthia, the magician's youngest daughter, is he able to finally return to his father's home.
