THE TWELVE HUNTERS
The king ruling over the Kingdom of the East was dying and asked his son to promise to marry the Northern queen. The prince was in love with the Southern princess, but promised to do what his dying father desired. When he did not meet her for some time, the Southern princess grew desperate. She selected many handmaidens, and disguising themselves as hunters, they went to the East. They were taken into the prince’s service, who did not recognise his beloved. When his wedding was announced, the Southern princess fainted. The prince went to her aid, and found his ring on her finger! He now realised he loved her more than anything else in the world. The Northern queen, seeing how happy the two lovers were, returned alone to her home.
