Part III
The Arena

As the young man walked into the arena, he turned. He looked up towards the royal box and, following custom, bowed low. But he did not look at the king at all. His eyes were fixed on the princess, who sat to the right of her father. She would not have been at the arena if she had not been half barbarian herself, but her intense and passionate soul obligated her to come and watch this terribly interesting trial. From the moment she knew her lover was going to be on trial in the arena, she could not think of anything else, day or night, except this great event and everything that was connected to it.

Part II
The Princess

Now, this semi-barbaric king had a daughter who was the most beautiful woman in the land. Just like her father, she was fierce and confident. The king was very proud of his daughter and loved her more than anyone else. She was the apple of his eye. Among the citizens of the king there was a young man who was the most handsome in the land. But he was also very poor. The moment the princess noticed the young man, she fell madly and passionately in love with him. But it was an impossible romance - a poor common man could never marry the king’s daughter! But the royal princess was satisfied with her lover, because he was braver than anyone else in all the kingdom. She loved him with a passion that was so barbaric that their forbidden love was too strong to break.
