The Prince and the Temptress

Prince Dethakatissa was leading his horse to Uttara. The nobles there were always waiting for him to wash his feet with water.

"Young ladies, I don't need your hospitality. Take care of your elderly parents,"

He said to the young ladies who came near him. At that, a murmur arose among the young ladies.

"What has happened to the prince? He must think that we are following him because he is a good man."

A woman named Sundari looked at Dethakatissa and said arrogantly. She removed the braids that had covered her head and approached him.

"Prince, forgive me. We don't know that."

"That's okay. I haven't seen you before. Your name is "

"My name is Sundari, which means she always lives a beautiful life."

She left the prince. The prince wondered why she didn't seduce him because she wasn't like the others.

"Prince, what are you thinking about?" The horse guard named Manusa, who was washing the horse in the evening on the river, asked him because of that difference.

"I have something to know."

The prince told the man suspiciously. The man told the prince about her whereabouts later.

Prince Dethakatissa, who had come into the village with his horse, saw a hut. He stopped his horse nearby, tied the collar to a tree, and came forward.

"Sundaree...Sundaree..." At that time, Sundari also saw the prince as soon as he came back from his bath.

"Excuse me, prince, sit down. It's difficult for me to come like this."

He sat down on the small wicker seat in the garden until she arrived. Then Sundari arrived.

"Your arrogance is the reason for my coming here."

"Is it a matter of honor?"

The prince approached Sundari. At that moment, the people had to leave with a magical smile.

"There was a drink, come and come."

"Yes, it seems that there is no one here."

" The prince went towards the lake. For the sake of the prince's business.

The prince also took the drink that Sundari brought and drank it in one gulp. As soon as he drank it, his eyes turned blue and Sundari placed both hands on his eyes.

"Wow, girls, he is very drunk." When he arrived at Sundari's house, he spoke lowly and fell down to the young women who were The prince crawled on the ground and asked for something to drink.

"I need some water."

"Prince, isn't it a lesson that you, with your appearance, have belittled our devotion and respect and condemned us as bad women. Today we are angry because of the beauty. In a little while, a representative of the queen will come here from the royal palace. She will also know that the prince went to the house of the girl and sacrificed her."

The beauty and the young women were chatting and the sound of hooves was heard in the distance.
