At these sad words, and, fearing that the young man would destroy the source of their water as quickly as he had discovered it, the men, women, and children fell on their knees before him and begged for mercy. He bade them rise, and he was weeping as he spoke: "Your kindness is my best revenge." Then the people asked Lovallec to make his home among them. "No! no!" he answered, "I have a great deal of good to do as I journey through the world, and those who are suffering cannot afford to wait." The people of Offemborough, however, persuaded him to accept a magnificent carriage and horses; they clothed him in fine linen and gave him money to go on his way. "When will you return to us?" inquired the people. "Very soon, perhaps, my friends," cried Lovallec, and with that his driver whipped up the horses, and the young man was soon lost to view. After so long a time, Lovallec, arriving at the city of the famous King, went immediately to the palace-door and knocked. "What will you have?" said the King, who went to the door. "Living in a far-off country I heard that your daughter is sick, and I have come to cure her." "Alas!" cried the King, "you have come in vain. All the great physicians of the world have exhausted their science in her behalf, and I am in despair." "You must have courage," said the young man; "your daughter will be cured in a few days." "Stranger," said the famous monarch, "if you can work such a wonderful miracle as this, all that I have is yours. The riches that will fall to you will be beyond computation. You shall have millions of gold pieces, a hundred towns and ten provinces shall be yours, and you may even command my crown if you succeed in curing my daughter." Then Lovallec thanked the famous King and said: "Leave me alone a little while, as it is necessary that I should gather some herbs that belong to the medicine which I desire to give your daughter." Then the famous King went weeping to his daughter's bedside. The young man went down into the garden and caught a frog, and went to the apartments that had been provided for him. "Quick!" he exclaimed to one of the servants, "bring me a knife and a plate and some green figs; and you," he said to another, "make a big fire, and don't forget to fetch a frying-pan." Everything was ready in a short time, and Lovallec went to work, having first made sure that there was nobody near to watch him. He first killed the frog and mixed its blood with muscadine wine. Then he took out the heart, and cooked it as the Lion had said. This mixture prepared, the young man went before the King's daughter. "Powerful princess!" he exclaimed, "drink of this wine, for it is renewed life that I give you." The princess drank one swallow, and immediately pushed the cup from her. "I am poisoned!" she cried; "I feel that I am dying." "Drink, princess, drink!" exclaimed the young man, "for it is an evil spirit that possesses you."
