"The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc"


Give them back to Lord Vilesermes, and tomorrow when the battle
takes place, have him bring them.'
"When Jerusalem heard Tirant speak that way, he looked into his
face and said:
"'Oh, virtuous knight, versed in arms! You are worthy of wearing
a royal crown: I cannot believe that you will not be victorious
in this battle.'
"The king-of-arms left Tirant and went to the hermitage where the
other knight was, and he told him that the hour was growing late,
and the judge could not decide the battle well if it was not
daytime, but that they had arranged it for the following day when
the king would be at mass. Lord Vilesermes said that he was
satisfied with that.
"Early in the morning the kings-of-arms got the two knights and
took them to the middle of a forest where no one would be able to
see them. When they saw that they were ready, Jerusalem said:
"'Knights of great virtue, this is your death, and your
sepulcher. These are the weapons chosen by this knight and
accepted by Tirant.
