You have no idea

how much I wanted you.

How much I sacrificed for you.

You told me many times before.

No one will ever love you like I do.

See you tomorrow?

YES.

Your Highness, please.

Your Highness!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Jonah!

What are you doing?

Jonah! Why are you leaving?

I have to go.

Why? What's happened?

I have to, don't ask me

anything more.

You can't just leave like this.

I've made up my mind,

I have no choice.

Please, be well and don't forget me.

No!

I'm your king and

I order you to stay.

Come... Look.

You come to this spring every day

and here you will see

the flow of my life.

If the water runs clear,

you will know that my life too

is clear and serene.

If it runs muddy,

you will know that I am in trouble.

If it dries up, you will know

that I have too reached my end.

You! Stop that!

Get away from here!

Go!

Dora...

Dora...

Here I am, my little darling.

Having counted the days

and numbered the nights,

at long last,

your king is here.

Now...

my precious one,

show me what you promised.

Dora! Dora!

Beautiful!

So soft and tender.

Sweet smelling.

Now, my dearest heart,

now that you have shown me

your beautiful finger,

show me the rest,

show me your face,

show me your mouth, your neck,

so I can kiss it. Please!

Now courtesy demands that I ask

for something that

I could freely take,

without any pretext.

I'm your king, don't forget!

Your Majesty...

my royal lord,

since you have deigned

to demean yourself,

leaving your lofty chambers

to come to this lowly pigsty,

far be it from me to dispute

the will of such a great king.

Therefore...

I am ready

and willing to grant your desires.

I only ask of you this one favor.

Of course.

I be welcomed into your bed

in the darkness of the night,

without any candles,

for my heart could not withstand

you seeing me naked.

Of course, my beautiful angel.

Anything you like.

Do it!

More.

Let me see. Let me see.

Okay. Hold it.

Hold it.

Good ".good".

And the other one.

Shut up, Imma!

Keep us safe and warm

in your heart.

Always and forever and ever,

keep us warm...

And safe from everything.

Guards!

Guards!

You summoned me, Your Majesty.

Silence!

You tricked me, you witch!

Throw her out.

No!

Throw her out. Now! Do it!

You wanted me to come!

What are you doing up there?

There is nothing to laugh at.

I'm not funny!

- Help me down!

- Yes, I'll help you down.

You shouldn't be up in a tree

at your age.

Help me down.

Oh dear, oh dear...

All this complaining.

Now, now...

Come on now.

There we go.

Come on... Come on...

There...

This too will pass.

Everything passes.

Doctor! Doctor!
