The Queen has been longing for a child for a long time. When all her prayers, entreaties and supplication are not answered, she turns to the devil in desperation. Lucifer promises her the longed-for daughter, but the queen has to sign a contract: the princess is to marry the devil on her 18th birthday. The girl is born, gets the nice name of Stepanka and grows up together with Stepan, the maid’s son of the same age. They are inseparable in their childhood, inspirable during their adolescence, and from the very beginning Stepanka is sure she wants to marry him and only him.
