At this time, the horn of hunting sounded in the mountains.
Alyssa was a little frightened, and as the sound got closer, Alyssa was startled when she heard the barking of the hounds, and she panicked and hid in the hole.
Alyssa combed the nettles she had gathered into a small bundle and sat on it.
At that moment many very large hounds jumped out of the bushes, barking wildly, running away, and running back again.
The players of Innage Studio immediately became alert, and in less than a few minutes, the hunters had arrived at the entrance of the cave, and there was a king by the hunter's side, who was probably the king of this country.
When the king entered the cave and saw Elisa, he was instantly amazed by Elisa's appearance, the king had never seen such a beautiful girl, and the king walked up to Elisa and asked, "Lovely girl, why are you here?" ”
Alyssa did not dare to speak, so she shook her head lightly and immediately hid her hand under her apron so that the king could not see the pain that Alyssa was enduring her.
"Come with me." The king continued: "You cannot stay here for too long, and if your goodness is equal to your beauty, I will make you clothed in silk and velvet, and a crown of gold on your head, and give you my most splendid palace as your home." ”
So the king helped Elisa to his horse.
Alyssa cried, wringing her hands in pain.
But the king said, "I only want you to be happy, and one day you will thank me." ”
So the king rode away with Elisa in the mountains.
Presently Elisa appears in front of a beautiful capital with many churches and domes, and the king leads Elisa into the palace.
Although the walls and ceilings of the palace were painted with splendid frescoes, Alyssa was not in the mood to look at them.
Alyssa was in tears and sad.
The ladies casually dressed Alyssa in court clothes, put some pearls in Elisa's hair, and put delicate gloves on Elisa's blistered hands.
Alyssa stood there, dressed in fine clothes, with dazzling eyes, and the whole court bent down deeply in front of her.
The king chose Alyssa as his bride, though the archbishop kept shaking his head and whispering that the beautiful girl in the woods was a witch, blindfolded everyone and captivated the king's heart.
But the king ignored these rumors, and played music, and set out the most sumptuous banquets, and made the most beautiful ladies dance around Elisa.
Alyssa was led through the fragrant garden to the ornate hall, but there was no smile on her lips and no sparkle in her eyes.
Pushing open the next bedroom, this is where Alyssa slept, the room was decorated with precious green felt, exactly the same shape as the cave where Alyssa lived.
The bundle of nettles that Alyssa had drawn was still resting on the ground, and under the ceiling hung the armor that Alyssa had knitted, which the hunters had brought back as a strange object.
"Here you can go back to your hometown in your dreams." The king continued, "This is the work you have been busy doing there, and now that you live in this splendid setting, you may reminisce about those old days as a pastime. ”
When Alyssa saw these beloved objects, a smile appeared on Alyssa's lips, and a flush returned to her face.
Remembering her brothers, whom she had to rescue, Elisa kissed the king's hand, and the king held her close to his heart, and ordered all the churches to ring the bells and announce the wedding.
This beautiful "dumb girl" from the forest is now the queen of the country.
The archbishop secretly spoke many bad things in the king's ear, but these words did not touch the king's heart, and the wedding finally took place, and the archbishop had to put the crown on Alyssa's head himself.
The Grand Master pressed the narrow hat tightly against Alyssa's forehead with vicious contempt, causing Alyssa to feel pain, but there was a heavier hoop on Alyssa's heart, and Alyssa could not feel the physical pain at all.
Alyssa's mouth is silent, because Alyssa's words can cost her brothers their lives. However, he did not care about this kind, beautiful king, who did everything to make Elisa happy.
The king knew that he could see a deep love in Elisa's eyes, and that Elisa loved him with all her heart, and that this love was growing day by day.
How Elisa wished that she could trust herself and tell the king all her pain, but Elisa had to choose silence and finish her work in silence, so at night Elisa secretly walked away from the king, and went to the little room decorated like a hole, and knitted her armor one by one, but when Elisa weaved the seventh, Elisa's nettles ran out.
Alyssa knew that the churchyard had the nettles she needed, but Alyssa had to pick them herself, but how could Alyssa get there?
What is a little pain in the hand compared to the pain that the heart has to endure? Alyssa had to take an adventure.
Alyssa, with fear, as if she was planning to do something sinful, went out into the garden on this moonlit night.
Elisa walked through the long tree-lined streets, through the deserted streets, to the churchyard, where she collected the thorny nettles, which she brought back to the palace.
Only one person saw Elisa, the archbishop.
While the others were sleeping, the archbishop arose, and what the archbishop had guessed was now fully confirmed, that the queen was not a real queen, but a witch, and that the archbishop told the king what he had seen and what he had doubted.
When these harsh words came out of the archbishop's mouth, the statues of the gods shook their heads and said that Alyssa was innocent, but the archbishop gave another explanation, and shook his head at Alyssa's sin.
At this moment, two heavy lines of tears flowed down the king's cheeks, and the king returned to the palace with a doubtful heart.
In the middle of the night, the king pretended to be asleep in the night, but the king's eyes were not sleepy at all, and the king saw how Elisa got up, and did so every night, and every time the king always followed Elisa, and saw how Elisa walked to the small room and disappeared.
The king's face grew darker and darker, and Alyssa noticed this, but Alyssa did not understand the truth, and made Alyssa uneasy, but Alyssa had to endure pain for her brother, and Alyssa's tears fell on the Queen's velvet and purple clothes, and these tears stopped there like shining diamonds. Anyone who sees this kind of luxury and wealth must also wish to become a queen. In the meantime, Alyssa's work was almost complete, and only one piece of armor was missing to weave, but Alyssa no longer had nettles.
