One day, King Yeremei decides to go on a long hike in order to consider all his areas and compile their register.

The tsar is forced to agree to these conditions, because he thinks that each blade of grass was taken into account in the inventory — he still does not suspect that in his absence the Queen gave birth to him an heir.
