Mircea Veroiu: Wounded by Love of Life Page #2

---

Or both?

Did you say something, my son?

No.

I mean...

I think the Turks are too many.

They are many.

And will they be fewer if we go down

on our knees and beg for peace?

Your Highness, we have one life

and one pride.

He's near the grave,

and he wants to fight.

Why do you whisper, lord Udova?

Speak up!

- Enlighten us!

- May your will be done!

You know everything

better than us.

Udova, if you stay like this,

you won't be able to look ahead.

And you'll only stand up

in the darkness.

We looked down too much.

And I swore to give this country

pride and honor.

We must find the secret that

kept us still for a thousand years,

so we can strangle it

with everything

that keeps us near it.

Go to the people,

tell them there are hard times ahead.

The enemy is everywhere.

I need them!

Who's not with me,

may he be a soldier or a commoner,

is against the country.

You have time to think

until tomorrow morning.

Such a great personality!

I have one more bad news.

What can I do?

I am but a woman.

Prince Dan is back.

If prince Mihail doesn't understand

what he's supposed to,

prince Dan will.

Emperor Sigismundus

was impressed with him.

Very well, my daughter!

- Dan is back from abroad.

- Where is he?

- In a safe place.

- He's our only hope.

- We must go to Bran.

- We must.

- Hello!

- His Highness' grandson.

Prince...

My horse! Help me get on it!

That's it.

Wait, Your Highness!

They'll kill us!

Where's the child?

You lost him, you sinners!

We're sorry, Milady!

He's so fidgety!

Why didn't you take care of him?

My son!

- Your Highness!

- Get up!

Vladut... I can't find him.

Nobody knows...

My son...

- Mezea, do you know anything?

- The guards saw him riding away.

- I'll go find more.

- Go!

- Did you beat him?

- Me?

I didn't even see him today.

Daughter-in-law Irina, I didn't like

tramps even when I was young.

You should dress properly

when you come to see me.

Go! Don't worry, we'll find him.

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

Now! Beat the drums

all night long.

Let them think that the whole Europe

came to help us.

- What are you doing here?

- Forgive me, but...

- Father!

- Child! How did you get here?

I rode. I changed two horses,

but I got here.

- Hello, father!

- Did you come by yourself?

Tell them to go.

I must talk to you in private.

Is there something wrong

with mother?

No, she's fine, but things are bad.

Your Highness, the Turk envoy

wishes to speak to you.

Tell him to wait.

You can go.

You two come with me.

You can sleep here.

Take your clothes off.

We'll talk in the morning.

Wait for me.

My soul rejoices. I wanted

to see the light in your eyes.
