Suddenly the princess stood up crying, her father didn’t stop her since she had gone with

her more loyal maid; while in the arena her lover fought one of the most important battles

in his life whether chose one door or another, his heart beating was with her princess

forever. Before this trial had place, the princess and the prisoner was kept in touch each

other through her maid’s errands which were promptly sent mutually.

They made a kind of promise and swore whatever was the decision of the trial; the princess

would ride a horse which her maid would take outside the arena and wait for him before the

sun sets. At the moment she went on her horse and decided to go so fast to their secret

hidden place where they met and loved with passion a while ago. That place was the lake.

She ran and ran once more along the hills and streams with all the strength of her spirit,

kept the hope alive at the end of that day see his beloved again. Meanwhile in the arena his

dear tried not to be devoured neither for a lion nor for a king, but on the contrary for his

personal circumstances and for being a mere vassal.

The doors were opened and entered into the arena a servants’ entourage with an encaged

lion. All the people in the box seats were shocked to see that scene. What was the objective

of that hard proof? The entourage withdrew from the scenario letting a sword on the arena

then the king asked for silence to the audience. He said: - I know you have a brave heart;

you will have to kill to the lion and take the ring around its neck which will seal your love

towards my daughter all life.

So he did and took the sword without hesitation and the lion was stabbed with a single

blow. Finally the king announced: Open that cage! It represents your heart is free. Go get

her!
