The two lovers spent the entire
night playing that happy sport that lovers play.
CHAPTER XIII
THE WEDDING
During the night Tirant told the princess about all the
misfortunes he had suffered because of her love. Then he took
great pleasure in telling her about his prosperity and victory,
but finally he told her that he felt less glory in any of it than
he did in conquering her illustrious person. When she had
gathered her strength and her sweet anger was over, she told
Tirant about the life she had led while he was gone, and how
during this time she had never seen anyone laugh or take joy in
anything. Withdrawn from all delights, alone in continual
prayer, deep in religion because of her love, she had been able
to survive until they brought her the happy news of his arrival.
And they exchanged many other delicious words, full of loving
sighs.
The queen, who was responsible for this affair, saw that daylight
was near, and she realized that when people in love have some
pleasure, they do not think of anything that would disturb them.
