Then they embraced each other and were very happy.
Afterward the princess led her lover to the king, her father, and related all that had passed. When the king had conversed with the prince and found him to be just, honorable, and very greatly in love with his daughter, his heart became glad. He thanked Allah that all had turned out so happily.
