Jury-Law books

On the morning of the following day the banners were blessed with
a great procession and celebration. All the men armed themselves
and mounted their horses to depart.
When the emperor saw all the men outside he called the captain
from his window and told him not to leave. He wanted to talk to
him, and he had some letters for him to give to the Duke of
Macedonia and a few others. As soon as the foot soldiers and
those on horseback were outside the city, Tirant returned and
went upstairs to the emperor's chambers. He found him in his
chamber with the secretary, writing, and did not want to disturb
him.
When the princess saw Tirant, she called to him and said:
"Captain, I see that you are ready to leave. I pray that God
will give you an honorable victory."
Tirant knelt before her and thanked her for her words. And he
kissed her hand as a token of good luck. Then the princess said:
"Is there anything you would like from me, Tirant, before you
leave? Tell me if there is, for I will grant you whatever you
wish.
