The noble citizens and
the townspeople, hearing the cries of happiness, ran to the wall
to see the help they wanted so much. The fleet came in, flying
the flags of His imperial Majesty and the valiant captain,
Tirant. There was no less happiness inside the city, as they
rang the bells and praised divine Providence.
When the princess saw Plaerdemavida, her servant, coming so
triumphantly as a queen, she dismounted in order to pay her
honor. The queen threw herself at her feet to honor her, but the
lady would not allow that, and instead kissed her many times on
the mouth as a sign of her great love. The night the virtuous
Queen of Fez arrived at Constantinople the princess wanted her to
sleep with her so they could talk at their leisure. When they
were in bed the princess said:
"My virtuous sister and lady, my heart has been very anxious all
the time you were gone. I couldn't write down all the reasons
for this, for I loved you more than all the ladies and maidens in
the world.
