In a Portugal mired in crisis, a director, unable to find meaning in his work, cowardly retreats and leaves the beautiful Scheherazade to take over. Each night, Scheherazade tells the King unfinished stories, promising to continue them the next evening, thereby defying his vow to execute his new wives after their wedding night. In this third volume, Scheherazade doubts that she will still be able to tell stories to please the King, given that what she has to tell weighs three thousand tonnes. She decides on escaping from the palace and travels the Kingdom in search of pleasure and enchantment.
