In the end he had to be strangled.
- Strangled? Who dare do that?
That one..
Naamn.
Wasn't he afraid?
- Oh, no!
The Tetrarch sent him the ring?
- What ring?
The ring of death!
That way he wasn't afraid!
Even so, it's terrible
to strangle a king! - Why?
Kings have only got one neck,
just like other men!
It seem terrible to me..
Now!
She's leaving the table.
She seems bored.
She's coming over here.
I'm not staying!
I can't stay..
Don't look at her.
I beg you don't look at her!
It is strange that my mother's
husband looks at me so!
I don't know what it means.
Actually, I do know!
Have you just left
the banquet, Princess?
Would you like to sit down, Princess?
Why look at her? Why speak to her?
Oh, something terrible
is going to happen!
How fresh the air is here!
At last, one can breathe!
Inside, there are Jews from
Jerusalem, tearing each other to pieces,
over their ridiculous ceremonies!
Barbarians drinking and
spilling wine everywhere..
And then there are the Romans

like the other goddesses.
The Lord has come!
The Son of Man has come!
The centaurs have hidden
themselves in the rivers..
and the mermaids have fled to sleep
beneath the leaves in the forest.
Who said that? - It's the voice
of the prophet, Princess.
Ah, the prophet!
The one that Tetrarch fears?
We know nothing of that, Princess!
It is the Prophet John.
- The Baptist.
Shall I order your litter, Princess?
It is very beautiful in the garden.
He has said monstrous things
about my mother, hasn't he?
We never understand
what he says, Princess.
Yes, he has said appalling
things about her!
Frightfully sorry, Princess! The Tetrarch
requests that you return to the banquet.
I'm not going back!
Pardon me, Princess.
But if you don't go back
something awful could happen to you.
Is he an old man, the Prophet?
Princess! It would be best if you went
back. Permit me to accompany you.
The Prophet! Is he an old man?
No, Princess. He's a very young man.
Well, we don't know!
There are those that say he is Elijah.
Who's Elijah? - A very old prophet,
Princess, from the provinces.
Sorry! What reply should I give to
the Tetrarch on behalf of the Princess?
