There was another bout next day, and you could never see an end of the boyĂĄrs and the lords seated at the royal palace. The elder brothers started out, and the younger brother set out on foot secretly and quietly, just as though he had never kissed the TsarĂ©vna, and he stopped in his distant corner. ElĂ©na TsarĂ©vna was asking for her bridegroom; ElĂ©na TsarĂ©vna was wishing to show him to the whole world, desiring to give him the half of her kingdom; but never a bridegroom appeared. They were looking for him in the midst of the boyĂĄrs , in the midst of the generals; and they went to them all, but they could not find him. But VĂĄnya looked on and smiled, and waited until his bride came to him. For he said, âI won her like a knight; now she is to love me in my kaftĂĄn .â
