“Who is your daughter’s father?”
“The king.”
“I knew,” said the bride, “that there was no kingly blood in the veins of the two, from the way that they treated my husband.” She told them all present how the two had taken her away, and left her husband behind. When Blaiman’s mother saw her son, she dropped almost dead from delight.

Blaiman remained awhile with his grandfather, and then took his wife back to her father’s kingdom, where they lived many years.
