Ivan Tsarevich & the Grey Wolf Page #3

---

- And whence did he come?

- He just fell.

Right at the feet of my father.

Great, he could not stand on his own feet?

No, he fell down from somewhere.

Flew, flew and fell.

And that's your fiance?

Flew, flew and fell...

I also flew and...

Flying, you say?

And where this uneducated fool fell,

was there an old man standing

wearing a crown, and a scary doggie?

- There was.

- This one that fell, was he

tall, stout, and

handsome, like a fireman?

I looked through the crack, but... What makes

you think I would even want to look at him?

Clearly...

And why don't you want to get

married, maybe he isn't that bad?

Because one should get married only for love.

So it is written in all the books.

For love? What does that mean?

It is the most wonderful

feeling in the world.

This is when the heart beats fast and strong.

And you get hot, and then you get cold.

- And breathing is irregular...

- So that's a flu or a cold.

No, you want to sing

and dance all the time!

That sounds like complete nonsense.

Shut up, you're a...

- Who are you?

- Don't you see.

Don't know how to tell you,

but I am that first stranger.

You are? I hate you!

- I hate you!

- Why "hate"?

- I myself do not really want to marry.

- If you have nothing to do with this, who does?

Really? You don't want to?

Maybe I also want to have your,

this, a flu with a cold.

Honestly? You know what then?

Let us vow that we will never

get married to one another.

- That is easy.

- Really?

- Of course. I swear. You to?

- I also swear.

Well, that's that. Better than

being hated or an uneducated fool.

- What's your name?

- Vasilisa.

And mine's Ivan. Good night.

- Wolf!

- Stay like that.

What can I say, Ivan.

Out your luck.

- How do you know my name?

- I know everything about you,

even what you do not know about yourself.

- Like what?

- You know, like what suit you'll be wearing today.

I know what you will eat and

where you will sleep. Should we do cuffs?

- No... I do not know.

- Okay, we won't.

Lucky you, man. Getting married

to the king's daughter.

Waist 58.

The girl has character.

Mostly positive, of course.

And an attractive appearance.

And most importantly from a good family!

Can I speak with you alone?

Here's the thing, I decided

I will not marry her.

Why so? What's going on.

I decided to marry only for love.

- For love. Have you ever loved?

- Not yet. But I've heard a lot about it.

So listen. I had love.

And what I get? Heartbroken.

- Do you need that?

- I just... I gave my word.

Note that if you agree

you become a prince.

If you refuse, the

king will cut your head.

I won't get married anyway.

In your place it would be better

to think about it. No head?

Let's say you are going somewhere.

You can not see where.

Suppose you get there.

Would you be happy with no head?

And how do you know anything?

And most importantly,

when you sit at the table,

how will you eat? What can you do?

Is it mandatory?

I actually wanted to wait for love.

But, if it is necessary...

- Good, good.

- Let me get married to someone else.

- I have given my word.

- When did you have the time?

- Well, take it back.

- I can not, it's my word of honor.

Pooh! It is difficult to work

with decent people!

The Bride:
Princess Vasilisa!

- Well, at least you could look at her.

- Not going to, I said.

The Bridegroom:
Ivan!

- Don't disgrace us in front of the

guests, So many people came.

- I said I am not going to.

Why are you so bummed out?

Why should I comply?

Worst case, you'll stay together

for two years and then divorce.

At least look at him. Doesn't

look that bad from afar.

I do not want to look

at him, don't want to.

- I... Ivan.

- Nice to meet you. Vasilisa.

Shall we dance?

King-Father!

Dear guests, we all want to drink

to the health of the young couple, but,

as the first minister just reminded

me, there is a rule of old.

Before marring the princess,

The groom must pass a test.

So to speak, to perform a

heroic act in the name of love.

Therefore I command Ivan to go fetch and

bring back to our courtyard I know not what.

I'll give a hint. For this you must go I know not where.

I will give him three days.

If he brings it - they get married.

If not - we will chop his head off.

So Ivan go search.

The rest please to the table. So it doesn't go to waste.

- King-Father, the guy will perish.

- Oh, well he will perish.

He'll wonder around for three days, then will

come back with nothing, and I will pardon him

to the four corners of the earth.

I don't need him anyway.

You gave your word that

he will marry Vasilisa.

I did. But the minister has come

up with how to take it back. Clever!

In short... Everything has changed.

You do not want to marry?

Go, just do not stick your nose around here anymore.

- You know, I can not. I think I fell in love.

- With whom did you fall in love?

- With Vasilisa.

- So, wait, how did you

ever figure that out?

How? My heart is pounding heavily, and

I feel cold, and then I feel hot.

- And my breathing is irregular, and...

- And what does that have to do with love?

- That's probably a flu or a cold.

- Hold on.

- I also want to sing and dance.

- This really proves nothing.

- No, I can not be without Vasilisa.

I'll go look for that I know not what.

Well, my daughter, you see

I figured it all out?

I understand, you fear that he

might find it and come back.

Do not be afraid, he will not come back.

And even if he comes back and brings

it, I would still cut his head off.

So, do not worry. I'm not going to

let you get married to him.

- Why is she crying?

- Maybe for joy?

There seems to be just too much joy.

Daughter, I don't understand,

I did what you wanted.

I love him! I want to marry him!

I'm sorry... Whom?

Ivan!

- This the one who is the first stranger?

- Yes.

So. Sorry. I have a meeting to attend!

So, as I recall, I told her

to choose from handsome hero princes.

- She flatly refused!

- Flatly.

Then I flew into a rage. I said,

get married to the first stranger!

- She was in tears.

- In tears, King-Father.

Then I, as a loving father,

and democratic enough king,

I sent him away, I do not know where.

- Well, it is clear where.

- Of course.

And hoping for at least

the minimum of gratitude

I go to her instead of 15 minutes

of feasting

and instead of "thank you"

I get this!

- Did I miss anything?

- Nothing, King-Father.

It's clear.

So, there! You are now going to get

married to the first strang...

Oh, we went there already. To the second strang...

What's the difference?

I am now going to lock you

up and you will sit...

What's the point? She already sits.

In short! You will you do

what I tell you to do!

What am I going to say? I'll think

of it tomorrow. Or the day after.

But after this nobody should dare do anything!

Ever! Got it?

That's it.

All of you got spoiled here!

Yes! A true leader.

One thing is certain.
