The rumor of the occurrence in Szczytno arrived in Warsaw however before Brother Rotgier, and there excited amazement and concern. Neither the king himself, nor anybody else at the court, could understand what had happened.
These people could tell the master that they came to ransom von Bergow and that they knew nothing about a girl. No! that way led to nothing, but what did? He thought, that should he go to Szczytno they would chain him and cast him under ground, while Danusia would not be released, lest it should transpire that they had captured her, if for no other reason.
After this he begged for no further permission, but rushed toward the old man, placed his hands upon his shoulders, and asked him: "Do you come from Szczytno?" The old man appeared to be struck by the sound of his voice, quieted himself and nodded affirmatively. "Did you not look there for your child? ..." A deep groan was the only reply to this question.
They told us so at Szczytno, and everywhere, and we ourselves were of the same opinion." "But did you observe these soldiers; go into the tents and look for yourself. Some of them are armed with clubs, whilst others with antiquated swords made of copper." "Bah! As far as I have heard they are good fighters."
Let it be now as it was long ago. They shall not disgrace us and remain scathless. We used to fight them under your command. Now we will march under Tolima, or without him. We must conquer Szczytno and shed the dog-blood. So help us God!" "So help us God!" repeated several voices. "To Szczytno!" "We must have blood!"
"How can I thank you for it?" answered Danusia. "Be a friend of the Order and of the monks." De Fourcy noticed this conversation, and in the meantime he was struck by the beauty of the young girl; therefore as they traveled toward Szczytno, he asked: "Who is that beautiful lady of the court with whom you were talking while taking leave of the princess?" "Jurand's daughter!" answered the Krzyzak.
When he recovered, he was afraid to repeat this attempt upon Jurandowna." "But they have carried her off." They have, but they have taken the executioner with her. The comthur did not know that it was he who defended Jurandowna. He thought that some supernatural power, good or evil, did it. He had taken the executioner with him and would not leave him at Szczytno.
I vowed to seize Szczytno, even if I had to bite the walls with my teeth, but how can I declare war without permission?" "Whoever began war without permission, would rue it under the executioner's sword," said the prince. "It is certainly the law of laws," replied Zbyszko. "Bah!
"It is a very simple thing, quite simple. Should you succeed in bringing him to Spychow alive then do with him as you please." "Then let me also have that Szczytno bitch, and if she is not troublesome on the road, I will bring her too to Spychow, if she is, then I shall hang her on a tree."
Yet he resolved first to go and see Macko; first, because he was sent to him; secondly, because he was bringing men with him who were to be left at Bogdanice. Zbyszko, having killed Rotgier, according to established rules, became the owner of his following, which consisted of ten men and as many horses. Two of them had been sent back with the body of Rotgier to Szczytno.
