My daughter was at worship alone yonder without the walls, and a great savage set on her, purposing to bear her away captive. Ay, and he would have done it had not the prince Aziel here given him battle, and, after a fierce fight, slain him." "No great deed to kill a single savage," broke in the king Ithobal, who had been listening with impatience to Sakon's praises of this high-born stranger.
This feast was held in the large pillared hall of Sakon's house, built beneath the northern wall of the temple fortress, and not more than a few paces from its narrow entrance, through which in case of alarm the inhabitants of the palace could fly for safety.
Decide swiftly, for my arm is weak, and when the wand falls opportunity for choice will have passed from you." Now all eyes were fixed upon the wand, and the intense silence was only broken by Sakon's cry of despair.
Indeed, he would then and there have been torn to pieces had not a guard of soldiers, knowing that he was Sakon's guest and in the train of the prince Aziel, snatched him from the maddened multitude, and borne him swiftly to a place of safety without the enclosure.
Now as these arrogant demands reached their ears, the company assembled in the hall murmured with anger and astonishment, then turned to wait for Sakon's answer. "And if we refuse these small requests of yours, O King?" asked the governor sarcastically, "what then? Will you make war upon us?" "First tell me, Sakon, if you do refuse them?"
