How Not to Rescue a Princess

To regain her youth, the Shamakhan queen comes to the temple with a magic tree, but a guard armed with a saber does not let her in and drives her away. She bewitches the guard, he falls in love with her, kneels in front of her, moves back when she walks towards him, and falls off a cliff into the water. The queen's servant, a talking raven, finds out from the wall paintings that to achieve the goal, you need to collect a jug of tears from a thousand beauties and water the magic tree with them. But the queen hates beauties very much, and therefore has long tormented everyone in her kingdom. Raven invites her to visit Kyiv and marry the Knyaz to her.
