Beschrijving
Prophecy of Future Sovereignty (previously The Dream). A clever boy refuses to tell his dream (about his future sovereignty) [M312.0.1, D1812.3.3] to his father and to the king. He is punished and endures various adventures (imprisonment) [L425].
A princess nourishes him in prison. War is to be declared on the emperor if he is not able to solve two riddles and a task.
The clever boy solves the riddles and the task, tells the answers to the princess, and is freed from prison. So the boy averts war, marries the princess [H551], and finally receives two kingdoms.
