- [201](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/201/) — Then Martin summoned the twelve youths, spoke to them, saying, ‘Build up my castle again, and join it to the King’s Palace with a crystal bridge; do not forget the trees with the golden and silver apples, and with the birds of Paradise in the branches; and put back the church with the five cupolas, and let the bells ring out, summoning the people from the four corners of the kingdom.
- [202](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/202/) — And one thing more: bring back my faithless wife, and lead her into the women’s chamber.’
- [203](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/203/) — And it was all done as he commanded, and, leaving the Starvation Tower, he took the King, his father-in-law, by the arm, and led him into the new palace, where the Princess sat in fear and trembling, awaiting her death.
- [204](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/204/) — And Martin spoke to the King, saying, ‘King and royal father, I have suffered much at the hands of your daughter.
- [205](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/205/) — What punishment shall be dealt to her?’
- [206](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/206/) — Then the mild King answered: ‘Beloved Prince and son-in-law, if you love me, let your anger be turned to grace--forgive my daughter, and restore her to your heart and favour.’
- [207](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/207/) — And Martin’s heart was softened and he forgave his wife, and they lived happily together ever after.
- [208](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/33/208/) — And his old mother came and lived with him, and he never parted with Schurka and Waska; and I need hardly tell you that he never again let the ring out of his possession.
