Jury-Law books

Before the arrival of the ships
the emperor presented the captain with eighty-three large and
beautiful horses, and many suits of armor. Tirant had Diafebus
come up first so he could choose from the weapons and horses.
Then Ricart made his choice, and finally all the others, while
Tirant took nothing for himself.
Tirant was deeply in love with the princess, and his suffering
increased daily. His love was so great that when he was with her
he did not dare talk to her about anything concerning love. And
the day for his departure was drawing near, for they were waiting
only for the horses to recover from the hardships they had
endured at sea.
The discreet princess knew about Tirant's love. She sent a page
to ask Tirant to be at the palace at noon because that was the
time when all the others would be resting. When Tirant received
his lady's command, he was the happiest man in the world. He
immediately sent for Diafebus, to give him the news, and to tell
him that she wanted only the two of them to go.
