The best part of the story is a happy ending π₯°
| βYour wish has been fulfilled. You have subdued my heart. Trust between men is not just an empty illusion. I, too, would be your friend. Say you will let the league of love be three.β
Cheers and shouts of βLong live the king!β arose from the crowd. And out of the cheering throng, a young maiden stepped forward bearing a red cloak. When she held the cloak out to Melos, he could only look at it in bewilderment. His friend, true Selinuntius, was quick to explain.
βLook at you, Melos β your clothes are gone. Put on the cloak. This pretty maiden canβt bear to have everyone see you that way.β
A scarlet blush mantled the heroβs cheek. |
Run, Melos!
