And the Goddess of Envy went her way mocking. The King and Queen weregreatly concerned, and they asked the gods and goddesses whether theirdaughter would ever recover her human heart. They were told that theGoddess of Envy would be obliged to give back the child's heart to theman who loved her enough to seek and to find it, and this would surelyhappen; but when and how it was forbidden to them to reveal.
"The child grew up and became the wonder of the world. She was marriedto a powerful King, a...nd they lived in peace and plenty until the Goddessof Envy once more troubled the child's life. For owing to her subtleplanning a Prince was promised for wife the fairest woman in the world, and he took the wife of the powerful King and carried her away to Asiato the six-gated city. The King prepared a host of ships and armed menand sailed to Asia to win back his wife. And he and his army fought forten years until the six-gated city was taken, and he brought his wifehome once more. Now during all the time the war lasted, although thewhole world was filled with the fame of the King's wife and of herbeauty, there was not found one man who was willing to seek for herheart and to find it, for some gave no credence to the tale, and others, believing it, reasoned that the quest might last a life-time, and thatby the time they accomplished it the King's wife would be an old woman, and there would be fairer women in the world.
