had never seen or imagined before. He was fascinated by
such tremendous beauty and opened his eyes widely.
Then, he turned his face away quickly, “How can I

With his great intelligence, he knew that it was
Princess Florrie because according to Reynold’s description
of her beauty, it had to be her.
When the Princess saw Jarvis’s face when he
looked at her, she noticed how handsome he was and liked
him even more after admiring his courage and strength.
“Is this how you welcome your guests?” she asked.
“You are not my guest,” he replied harshly. “This
place is not my house, and I do not know you.”
“You must have recognized me when you saw me
as people everywhere talk about me,” she said.
Judging by the way she talked, he immediately
knew that she was arrogant and did not deserve respect,
according to him.
So he smiled cynically as he sat on his bed with his
back to her. “Once again, I am telling you that I do not
know you and I repeat my question, how can I help you?”
She said, “My father, great King Matthew, has
offered your brother to let either you or him marry me...
and I chose you.”
He stood up and shouted angrily, “Listen, woman. I
do not like prattling. I will not marry a woman whose
brother and father killed my father and brother.”
