In a kingdom of legends and wonders, there lived a prince whose realm shone bright with promise and prosperity. Yet, with his father's passing, the young prince inherited not only his crown but also a kingdom in disarray.
Initially enchanted by lavish feasts and grand gatherings, the prince lost sight of his duty to his people. As whispers of discontent swirled around the palace, his counselors plotted against him, seeking to usurp his throne.
Thankfully, his wise mother, the queen, caught wind of the treachery and urged her son to rule with wisdom and compassion. With her guidance, the prince's heart stirred with newfound determination to lead his kingdom with justice and kindness.
One fateful afternoon, as the prince drifted into slumber, he found himself in a dreamland, guided by a spectral figure. The ghost whispered secrets of a hidden treasure, concealed within the heart of a city called Negros. Eager to reclaim his kingdom's lost riches, the prince embarked on a daring quest, cloaked in disguise.
Venturing into the city's depths, he discovered an ancient bamboo palace, just as the ghost had foretold. With bated breath, he unearthed the treasure trove, brimming with gold and gleaming jewels. The ghost's words proved true, filling the prince's heart with awe and gratitude.
Yet, the dream was not yet complete. To unlock the final chamber, the prince journeyed once more, this time accompanied by a faithful companion, a mysterious black-skinned man with tales of loyalty to his father.Their quest led them to the realm of demons, where the king demanded a price for his aid—a pure-hearted maiden to accompany him in his realm. Though torn by love for the farmer's daughter they found, the prince agreed, knowing it was the only way to unlock the chamber.
In a twist of fate, the king of demons, moved by the prince's sacrifice, granted them the treasure without condition, allowing the lovers to return to their kingdom. With the final chamber unlocked and their love triumphing over all obstacles, the prince and his beloved celebrated their union, bringing harmony and happiness to their kingdom once more. And thus, the tale of the dreaming prince came to a magical end, forever etched in the annals of Bicol folklore.
