Many try and fail until a humble soldier, aided by an enchanted cloak of invisibility and advice from an old woman, discovers the truth. Each night, the princesses sneak away to a magical underground kingdom where they dance with twelve princes. The soldier reveals their secret, breaking the enchantment and winning the king’s favor—and the hand of one of the princesses. This timeless tale weaves themes of curiosity, bravery, and magic into a captivating adventure.
