"Yes," said von Loeve, "there is a good opportunity for an attack. The prince is going away and Anna Danuta will remain here alone with her court. However it is a serious matter to invade the prince's house during the time of peace. The prince's house is not Spychow. It will be the same thing that happened in Zlotorja!
"Scatter! surround him! strike from behind!" shrieked old Zygfried von Loeve.
Having heard this, von Loeve turned his severe eyes on Danveld; but the latter again rubbed his lips with the upper part of his hand and said: "And now to Szczytno as soon as we can!" Before starting on the journey to Szczytno, the four brothers of the Order and de Fourcy went to bid the prince and the princess adieu.
Having perceived him, Hugo von Danveld quickly exclaimed: "Whoever this man is he must die." And von Loeve, who although the oldest among the brothers, had very keen eyesight, said: "I recognize him; it is that shield-bearer who killed the bison with an axe. Yes; it is he!" "Hide your knives, so that he may not become frightened," said Danveld. "I will attack him first, you shall follow me."
"He said: 'I know that Danuska was at Szczytno, but they have carried her off, or starved her. Old von Loeve did it, and so help me God, I will not rest until I get him." "Did he say so? Then it is sure that the comthur left for the east, but now there is war." "He knew that there was a war, and that is the cause why he left for the camp of Prince Witold.
Zygfried von Loeve hesitated for a moment with his answer; in his nature lay deep hatred toward the Polish nation, and barbarity in which he exceeded even Danveld, and rapacity, and, when the Order was in question, pride and avarice, but there was no falsehood.
But after a while Brother Rotgier turned toward Zygfried von Loeve, and said: "Your judgment and experience are equal to your bravery: what do you think about this plan?" "I think that the matter is worthy of consideration." "Because," said Rotgier further, "the girl is a lady-in-waiting with the princess the princess loves her as if she were her own daughter.
