And this Gogyrvan, that was King of Glathion and Lord of Enisgarth and Camwy and Sargyll, came down from his wide throne, and he embraced first Guenevere, then Jurgen. "And demand of me what you will, Duke of Logreus," said Gogyrvan, when he had heard the champion's name, "and it is yours for the asking. For you have restored to me the best loved daughter that ever was the pride of a high king."
So Manuel made inquiries, and learned that Queen Freydis had taken up her abode on Sargyll, most remote of the Red Islands. "We will go to Freydis," he told Niafer. "But, surely, not after the way that minx probably believes you treated her?" said Niafer. Manuel smiled the sleepy smile that was Manuel. "I know Freydis better than you know her, my dear." "Yes, but can you depend upon her?"
"Yes, now again, gray Manuel, you will be getting your desire. That ship which shows at the river bend, with serpents and castles painted on its brown sails, is Miramon Lluagor's ship, which he has sent to fetch you from Sargyll: and the last day of your days of exile is now over. For Miramon is constrained by one who is above us all; therefore Miramon comes gladly and very potently to assist you.
Thus he might not come to Sargyll until the arrival of this little heathen whom I have just made Christian. Now we have only Christian terrors here; and again your fate is in my hands." Dom Manuel looked grave. "Freydis," he said, "you have rescued me from very unbecoming conduct. A moment more and I would have slain my wife and child because of this Sesphra's resistless magic."
But Niafer, who was never romantic nowadays, merely said that, anyhow, it was a blessing it was all over, and that she hoped, now, they would soon be leaving Sargyll. "But Freydis is so kind, my dear," said Manuel, "and so fond of you!"
Ah, no, gray Manuel, you are quite certain no woman would do that; and people say you are shrewd. So I bid you very welcome to Sargyll, where my will is the only law."
That is not important, but perhaps upon the whole it would be better for you to kill them before we depart from Sargyll." "Very well, then," says Manuel, "I will do that, but you must come up into the room with me, for I cannot bear to lose sight of you." Now Sesphra smiled more unrestrainedly, and his teeth gleamed. "I shall not ever leave you now until you die." Farewell to Freydis
So said Gogyrvan, that was King of Glathion and Lord of Enisgarth and Camwy and Sargyll: and this was done. And everywhere at the banquet Jurgen heard talk of this King Arthur who was to marry Dame Guenevere, and of the prophecy which Merlin Ambrosius had made as to the young monarch.
He could get no more out of her, as they stood there under the painted face which looked down upon them with discomfortable laughter. So Manuel and Niafer remained at Sargyll until the baby should be delivered. King Ferdinand, then in the midst of another campaign against the Moors, could do nothing for his vassal just now.
So he arranged to have the promised baby delivered at Sargyll, which, he told the stork, would be their address for the remainder of the summer. They Come to Sargyll Then Manuel and Niafer put out to sea, and after two days' voyaging they came to Sargyll and to the hospitality of Queen Freydis.
