While the Clock Chimes (Russian: Пока бьют часы, Poka b'yut chasy) is a 1967 fairy tale by Sofia Prokofieva. It is set in a kingdom where all the royals and nobles wear magical caps that make them invisible, because they are so gorgeous that anyone who sees them will get blinded. The identity of an invisible can be determined by the smell of their perfume; for that purpose, a special Smell Keeper is entrusted with the perfume cupboard.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However, the kingdom is getting poor, so the king hatches a plan to invade the neighboring country, and for that, he needs more caps to give to the army. For the caps, in turn, he needs a) the invisibility elixir b) a special sort of fabric. The first matter can be dealt with since Tseblion the Smell Keeper can brew the elixir, but the fabric can only be weaved by two brother weavers who refuse to do it, since they know it will be used to start a war.Meanwhile, the weavers' little sister Tatti comes to the town, and by sheer ill luck, she is caught by the palace guards and ordered to wash the already existent caps that have gotten quite dirty and started to lose their magical properties. That's when the whole mess really begins.A loose film adaptation was released in 1977, combining elements from this book and A Girl Named Glazastik.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Fake Aristocrat | |
While The Clock Chimes / int_392ecd12 | comment |
Fake Aristocrat: Tatti pretends to be the princess after stealing the latter's cap. She adorns herself with lilies-of-the-valley (the smell of the princess's perfume) to avoid detection, but she's still bad at mimicking the necessary manners and gets found out rather quickly. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
While The Clock Chimes / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: Downplayed with Tseblion, who doesn't die but becomes broken, pathetic and near-insane. It's said in the last chapter that he has become a wandering beggar and survives thanks to people's kindness. | |
