King Lisuarte now looked round for Agrayes, and seeing him not, he
asked for him, for though he knew how that Prince hated him, yet both
for his own sake, and to show that no farther enmity existed, he had
resolved what to do. Perion replied, that he had left him with the
army, to prevent any accidental mischief if the armies should meet.
Let him be called then, said Lisuarte, for I will not depart till I
have seen him. Amadis upon this went himself to Agrayes, knowing that
he could best prevail upon his cousin, and he told him all that had
passed, and besought him to go with him, since friendship was now
re-established. Agrayes answered, Cousin, you know my anger lasts no
longer than it is your will; but God send that the service which you
have now done the King may be better guerdoned than your former ones!
this has made him suffer for the past, and that belike may change his
condition! so he bade the army halt till they received his orders,
and rode back with Amadis. When they came up, the King took him in
his arms and embraced him awhile saying, which is the most dangerous,
this embrace, or that which we gave each other in the battle? Agrayes
courteously answered, Sir, longer time is necessary before that can be
resolved with truth. Now then, quoth the King, let us move; You, Sir,
speaking to King Perion, with those Knights must be my guests in the
Monastery; the troops, as many as can, must take their quarters in the
town, and the rest encamp in these fields; we will have all the stores
which are collected for the camp brought here, that there will be no
want. King Perion would fain have had his leave to depart, but Lisuarte
and Cildadan urged him so that he could not deny, and they were all
well lodged in the Monastery. There King Lisuarte was attended by the
Masters whom he had brought with him, but they were all as nothing to
Master Helisabad, who soon made the King and all the other wounded
Knights safe and sound, that it was marvellous; yet Lisuarte had been
so grievously hurt that it was more than ten days before he could rise
from his bed.
