In this tale, there are seven princesses who live in a castle in the kingdom of Whiteland. These princesses are known far and wide for their beauty, grace, and kindness. However, a mysterious affliction befalls them: each night, they vanish from their beds, and no one knows where they go.

The king, desperate to solve the mystery and protect his daughters, offers a great reward to anyone who can discover the truth behind the disappearance of the princesses. Many brave knights and adventurers attempt to solve the mystery but fail, never to return.

One day, a young and humble farmer’s son, who has heard of the king’s challenge, decides to try his luck. With nothing but determination and courage, he sets out on his journey to uncover the truth.

After traveling through dense forests and treacherous mountains, the young man stumbles upon a dense bamboo forest. Intrigued by its mysterious aura, he decides to venture deeper into its heart. As he wanders deeper into the forest, he discovers a hidden path that leads to an enchanted underground kingdom.

In this magical realm, he encounters the seven princesses of Whiteland, who have been cursed by an evil sorcerer. Every night, they are transformed into swans and must fly away to a distant lake, where they spend their nights in sorrow and captivity.

Determined to break the curse and free the princesses, the young man embarks on a perilous quest. He learns from a wise old woman that the curse can only be broken if he weaves shirts made from nettles for each princess, while remaining silent and focused on his task.

With unwavering determination, the young man sets to work, gathering nettles and weaving shirts with his bare hands. Despite the pain and hardships, he perseveres, driven by his love for the princesses and his desire to see them free.

Finally, after many trials and tribulations, the young man completes the shirts just before the break of dawn. As the first rays of sunlight touch the enchanted lake, the curse is broken, and the princesses are transformed back into human form.

Overjoyed and grateful, the princesses thank the young man for his bravery and selflessness. The king, upon learning of the young man’s heroic deeds, rewards him with great honor and riches, and the kingdom of Whiteland celebrates the return of its beloved princesses.

“The Princesses of Whiteland” is a timeless tale of courage, love, and redemption, reminding us that true heroes are often found in the most unexpected places.
