Emperor Vladimir

Vladimir wakes up, Alexei is sleeping on a bench, and Vladim leaves the house. Boyan is fixing the hives, and bees are pouring into his staff. He closes the small door, and at that moment his brothers come running, holding a bunch of swords.

Khoten: Uncle! There were Pechenegs in the forest like mushrooms! Listen, Uncle!

Boyan hisses at them to be quiet, as the people are sleeping. Khotyon and Kosnyatin throw their swords on the ground and, talking about their own affairs, tell how they dealt with the Pechenegs.

Kosnyatin:They say that Vladimir disappeared in the swamps!

Khoten:And the voivode disappeared with him!

Both:Here!

Boyan: How did he disappear?

He looked at Dobrynya who was lying on the hay.

Dobrynya yawned . He's lying, the redhead. Here I am.

Aleksa runs out of the house

Aleksha:Grandpa, the prince has disappeared!

Dobrynya is surprised, and Boyan looks away.

Boyan:How did it disappear?

He looks to the side and sees Vladimir standing next to a trough of water, taking his head out of the water, throwing his hair back and running his hands through his wet hair.

Vladimir: They buried me too early, my bride is still waiting for me!

He scooped up some water and splashed it over the top. After a while, Vladimir returned. The street was bustling and crowded. You looked out the window and saw that Vladimir had returned (you were his bride).
