The Princess and the Dragon (Принцесса и дракон)

Once upon a time

there lived a King and a Queen.

They lived happily in love and peace.

And one day their beautiful daughter was born.

The royal couple called their child Barbara.

Everybody in the castle was happy.

Rumor had it that the queen was a sorceress,

but then one day she went missing.

A day went by, then another,

and another one, but the Queen was still gone.

Nobody could find the Queen as if she

disappeared into thin air.

The first Councillor Balthasar came to the King

and said "Our undercover agents work hard day and night.

"They won't stop until they've checked every nook

"and cranny of the kingdom and found the Queen."

Until then, the Councillor will take over

parenting of the young princess.

The King took a deep breath

and entrusted Balthasar with the care of the princess.

That's how it all started.

Wow, it's unbelievable.

Look Goliath, here's my lunar calendar.

Do you want to take a look?

I wish my mom could be here now

and see me all grown up.

Time went by

but Barbara never stopped missing her mom.

And she never started caring for Balthasar's

methods of her upbringing.

Hey, watch out!

Excuse me!

Keep your eyes peeled General!

I'm so sorry.

Could you stand aside please?

Excuse me.

Ah ah ah.

My princess!

Your behavior is absolutely unacceptable!

But I didn't do anything wrong.

I will report you to the King immediately.

Ari, you brat!

Where on earth are you?

Right here as always.

Hide this somewhere.

Right away master.

Hmph, big deal.

Your majesty,

your daughter's mischievous behavior

is getting out of hand.

She breaks all the rules and disobeys the royal etiquette.

What did you expect Councillor?

She's growing up with no mother.

Like you for instance.

There, did you hear that?

By the way, any luck with your search for the Queen?

Searching your majesty, all date and night.

Our agents are searching all the neighboring kingdoms,

but no trace of her has been found.

Back to Barbara.

You have to talk to her your majesty.

I don't have the energy to scold anyone.

I'm yearning for my wife.

I'm depressed.

Please your Majesty,

you have to pull yourself together.

Yes, I'm well aware that I have to, I just can't.

Anyway a king does not have to do anything

and I'm still a king.

So why don't you go Councillor.

Why don't you go and find my Queen!

I'm sick and tired of the King.

I swear he's gone completely mad!

It's high time I get rid of him.

Hmm, but how?

We will send him somewhere far far away.

Somewhere he will never come back from.

And what are you planning to do

when he's gone for good master?

Me?

I'll make sure the little princess trusts me.

And when she does we will be searching

for her for poor missing mother forever!

And we'll rule the land together, you and I.

Well, I'll be the one who does all the ruling.

But I suppose you can be my counselor.

All bow to me!

Meanwhile, your job is to spy on everybody

and report back to me.

But I thought that's what your magic mirror is for?

Shh!

Do what you're told and no more back talk.

Of course master.

The weary sun retired for the night,

making way to the moon.

The princess looked at the defeated wizard

that lay motionless at her feet.

It's done!

You will not harm anyone ever again evil sorcerer!

And having said this, she proudly turned around

and walked away from the battlefield.

I'm not sleepy at all tonight.

Just one hour left til tomorrow, my birthday!

I'd better find another book and make the time go faster.

Oh!

Which one should I pick?

What is that?

Oh no, no, no, no!

Help someone!

What have I done?

Well there.

It's so heavy.

I bet this book has the most wonderful fairy tales.

My birthday's finally here!

What kind of gifts I'll get today?

Butterfly.

Don't leave me.

Hey butterfly!

Come back.

Wow, that was fun!

Wait, am I really inside the fairy tale?

Are you a squirrel?

Hey wait!

Why is everyone flying away from me?

I just wanted to read.

And what do we have here?

Hey, who are you?

I'm Barbara the princess and who are you?

I am Dragosha.

And what are you doing here?

Nothing really, just looking around.

Actually, I'm a little bit lost and I need to get home.

Wow, what's that in your backyard!

There's nothing in my backyard and you can't go there!

What are those vegetables?

Just don't touch anything!

These are amazing!

Should we water them?

No! Stop!

I told you don't touch anything didn't I?

Why not?

They have already been watered today!

So what, it won't hurt.

You should only water them in the morning

and now it's already...

Oh come on grumpy!

No, no, no, no, don't, don't!

They will only grow faster.

You can grow now my little pumpkin.

See now?

What did I tell you?

Climb I'm up here!

It's so much fun!

Hey, watch out!

Do you know how to have fun?

I can teach you.
