Long life, just lord! Live and judge us!" Then the people cheered Zbyszko and Danusia when a moment later, they both went to the portico, fell at the feet of the good Princess Anna Danuta, who had saved Zbyszko's life, because she, together with the scholars, had found the remedy and had taught Danusia how to act. "Long life to the young couple!" shouted Powala of Taczew.
On the card I will proclaim that Panna Danuta Jurandowna is the prettiest and most virtuous girl among all living in this or any other kingdom. Anyone who wishes to contradict this declaration, I will fight until one of us dies or is taken into captivity." "Very well! I see you know the knightly custom. And what more?"
But now what shall I do with the girls?" Then he reflected whether it were not better to leave them with the princess Alexandra, or with the princess Anna Danuta, or to take them to Spychow.
That of course was not to be thought of. He will take one of the two, whichever God had decreed. Finally that plan to rescue Zbyszko he preferred to the others; and as to Jagienka, he resolved either to leave her in the care of Princess Danuta, or at Spychow, but not at the court at Plock where there was much glitter, and which was filled with handsome knights.
Anna Danuta asked him what he was doing on the highway. He told her that the king had commanded him to keep order in the environs while there were so many wealthy guests going to Krakow. Then he told her about Zbyszko's foolish conduct.
I do not know whether even one remained, because I heard the princess say that she would be obliged to look for other attendants." Having heard this, Zbyszko was silent for awhile; then he asked in an altered voice: "Was Panna Danuta Jurandowna, whose name is on the board, married also?" Sanderus hesitated before he answered.
I am sure there will be tournaments; then you can fight, if the prince and the comthurs give permission." "I have a board on which is written a challenge for anyone who will not affirm that Panna Danuta Jurandowna is the most virtuous and the most beautiful girl in the world; but everywhere the people shrugged their shoulders and laughed."
Have you found a remedy?" asked Zygfried von Loeve. "Speak quickly!" exclaimed Brother Godfried. "Listen," said Hugo. "Jurand has a daughter here, his only child, whom he loves dearly." "Yes, so he has. We know her. The princess Anna Danuta loves her also." "Yes.
Meanwhile, the princess Anna Danuta, at the moment when Zbyszko embraced her knees, said as she bent down to him: "Why do you not feel happy? Be happy and thank God, because if He in His mercy has granted you this suit, then He will not leave you in the future, and will lead you to happiness." But Zbyszko replied: "How can I be happy, gracious lady?
His confidence increased, however, when after mass and a long rest, he heard the conversation between the abbot and Anna Danuta. The wives of the reigning kings and princes, both on account of devotion as well as on account of the magnificent presents, sent them by the Master of the Order, were very kindly disposed toward the Knights of the Cross.
