Description

A whimsical kingdom once ruled by a daring dragon‑kissed prince now watches his descendant, young Prigio, grow up amid tales of heroic ancestors and sleepy royal mottos. The story opens with the legendary Lady Dragonissa, who transformed from a fearsome beast into a bold princess, seizing power and planting the seed of gallantry in her line. As Prigio learns of his family’s colorful past, he must decide whether to follow the brave example or remain content with a quiet life.

The narrative follows Prigio’s early adventures, where his confidence is tested by curious riddles, mischievous sprites, and a mysterious quest for a hidden treasure. Along the way, he encounters eccentric companions and learns that true bravery often hides behind unexpected challenges. Listeners will be drawn into a world where humor, folklore, and a touch of magic combine to shape a young prince’s journey toward his own kind of greatness.
