By his first marriage he had one daughter, called Florina, or the little Flora, because she was so fresh and lovely; at the time of his second marriage she was quite fifteen years old. The new queen also had a daughter, who was being brought up by her godmother, the fairy Soussio her name was Troutina, because her complexion was all spotted like a trout's back.
Worse than all, his next heir spread reports of his death, and threatened to seize on his throne. Under these circumstances the magician thought it best to agree with Soussio that King Charming should be restored to his kingdom and his natural shape for six months, on condition that Troutina should remain in his palace, and that he should try to like her and marry her.
For twenty days and twenty nights he stood there, without sleeping, or eating, or once sitting down they talking all the while. At length, Soussio, quite worn out, said, "Choose seven years of penitence and punishment, or marry my goddaughter." "I choose," answered the king; "and I will not marry your goddaughter." "Then fly out of this window, in the shape of a Blue Bird."
