In this chapter, we learn that the land in which the story takes place has been searched for many years, and no man has found it. The land within the tower is the princess, who has been cursed by a black magic spell to sleep for one hundred years. This is the kind of "grand scale love fantasy" that the prince has been considering. He has been writing and drawing a lot of pages, and his talent frightens him even more than his writing talent. He asks his sister to read the story and tell him what she thinks. The girl has written a play about a sleeping beauty, and the play has six leading roles. The place is filled up with people from all over the world to see the play, and it's going to make a fortune for the prince. He tells his sister about a time when a sorcerer cursed a beautiful princess to sleep forever, but now six brave princes have come to rescue her. The prince has to cross six mountains, six valleys, and finally arrive at a city, where he can see the princess. The brambles have blocked the gate to the tower, and they're trying to cut them down, but they've moved the gate in the name of god.
