The Ancient rejoiced greatly at hearing this, and returned to his dwelling, and conveyed the Royal command to the Lady Kaguya, bidding her no longer refuse obedience. But she said : " Never will I serve His Majesty as 'tis desired ; and if constraint he used towards your daughter, she will pine away and die, and the price of my father's hat of nobility will be the destruction of his child."
