The commander then seized the king and took him to a room where
he had him put in chains. This made Tirant very angry, but he
said nothing so that he would not offend the commander. When the
king was in chains, they went into the main tower where they
found the queen in tears.
Tirant had one hundred thousand doubloons sent to Tunis to the
commander's cousin who was magistrate of the king of that region.
He begged him to release Lord Agramunt and all the others who
were on his galley. The governor took them all out of captivity
and sent them to Tirant. When they were taken on land they lost
all hope of ever being freed--until they saw their captain. And
don't think they felt only a small mount of relief when they saw
him. Tirant immediately asked his cousin, Lord Agramunt, if he
had seen Plaerdemavida. He answered:
"Since that day we lost sight of the galley, I never heard
anything about her again. I'm afraid she died in the stormy
sea."
It happened one day that the queen called Tirant to her chamber.
