Jury-Law books

I know that Your Highness loves him deeply, for he
is loved by all people. You are to blame, my lady, if you don't
have him by your side in a bed perfumed with benjamin, civet, and
pure musk, and on the following day if you complain to me about
him I will suffer whatever torment Your Highness decides."
"Oh, Tirant," said the princess. "I would be very happy if I
could have someone who would please me. But what use would it be
if I had a statue at my side who could only give me pain and
desperation?"
At this moment they reached the palace and found the king in the
hall, speaking with the ambassadors from France. When he saw his
daughter he took her by the hand and asked where she had been.
Dinner was ready, and Philippe and the ambassadors took their
leave of the king and the infanta, and went to their chambers.
After dinner they began to dance, and the infanta purposefully
caused the dancing to continue until late at night. The king saw
that it was past midnight, and he left without a word so that he
would not disturb his daughter's pleasure.
