Jury-Law books

She was silent and said no more. When Tirant saw Stephanie
kneeling down, he at once knelt beside her. He did this because
she was a maiden who served the emperor's daughter, and even more
because she was the emperor's niece, daughter of the Duke of
Macedonia, the greatest duke in all Greece.
Tirant replied:
"Death does not bother me when I think I'll be dying for such a
lady. By dying I will come back to life in glorious fame, for
people will say that Tirant lo Blanc died of love for the most
beautiful and virtuous lady in the world. So, my lady, I beg you
to go away and leave me with my pain."
The princess was in undescribable anguish when she saw that
Stephanie was not coming back with news of Tirant. Not being
able to endure it, she called one of her maidens, named
Plaerdemavida. She took a veil and put it over her head so she
would not be recognized, and went down the stairs to the garden.
With the garden door open, she went to the house where Tirant
was, without being seen by anyone.
