Princess Remis

Once upon a time, King Salimu of Lebanon had a daughter named Remis, who was born with beautiful eyebrows, handsome appearance, gentle personality and good character.

　　When Remis was sixteen years old, the queen died of illness, and the king married a woman named Saiva as queen. Saiva was bad-natured and vicious, and tried every means to drive the king's only daughter out of the palace.

　　One day, while the king was out hunting, Seva secretly sent a servant to the king's pasture and told the shepherds that Princess Remis, on her father's order, asked them to cut off a leg of each sheep and send it to the king. Come to the palace, because the king wants a good meal.

　　The shepherd sent the leg of lamb to the palace according to the princess' order. After the king finished hunting, he came to the pasture by the way. Seeing that every sheep was limping and jumping around, he couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately called the shepherd to ask angrily: "What's going on here?"

　　The shepherd said in horror, "Didn't Princess Lemis ask us to do it on your orders from the king?"

　　The king was angry and puzzled, and had no choice but to go back. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw countless lamb legs piled up there. At this time, Saiva greeted him and said to the king sarcastically, "I have told the chef that I am going to use these lamb legs to make you dinner. You will definitely find it delicious, won't you?"

　　Seva's speech with ulterior motives further aroused the king's anger towards his daughter Lemis.

　　In a fit of rage, the king ordered the soldiers to chop off one of Remis' hands and drive her out of the palace.

　　Remis was in pain on the street, tears streaming down her face all day, and her cheeks were losing weight day by day.

　　In order to survive, Remis decided to live in the mountains. She walked through the pain for days and nights, and finally found a cave and lived there.

　　One day, an antelope suddenly ran into the cave tremblingly. Then, a young man with a bow and arrow followed. When he saw a lonely girl sitting in the cave, he was very surprised and asked her why she lived alone in the cave.

　　Remis told him truthfully about her tragic experience. After hearing this, the young man felt very sad, sympathized with Remis, and at the same time developed a love for her.

　　This young man was not an ordinary commoner, but the king of the kingdom of Tripoli, so he brought Lemmy to his palace. From then on, the two got along day and night, considerate to each other, and their feelings became deeper. Not long after, the two got married and lived a happy and sweet life.

　　Later, the young king led an expedition to fight the enemy. Soon Lemis gave birth to twins and a pair of sons, all beautiful and lovely. The Queen Mother was so happy that she immediately wrote a letter and sent a special envoy to tell her son the good news.

　　The envoy rode on horseback and moved fast. At night, he passed Beirut, the capital of the Kingdom of Lebanon, and spent the night at the royal palace.

　　After Seva learned the news, she specially held a banquet to entertain the envoy, instigated the servant to get the envoy drunk with old wine, then took out the letter and tore it to shreds. Then Seva wrote another fake letter saying that Remis had given birth to two monsters. The envoy woke up the next day, unaware of what had happened, and continued on his way.

　　The letter was handed over to the king. After the king read the letter, his expression changed suddenly and he felt distraught. He immediately wrote a reply letter, asking Remis to protect the two monsters and wait for him to go back.

　　The envoy immediately returned with the letter, and still spent the night at the Beirut Palace. Seva used the same trick and wrote a fake letter: "Kill Remis and the two monsters she gave birth to, I don't want to see them."

　　The Queen Mother was stunned when she saw the letter, felt that her son was too irrational, and decided not to follow her son's orders.

　　After Lemis found out, she felt that things were not good, so she made up her mind to take her two sons back to the cave to live. The Queen Mother kept her again and again to no avail, and finally had to say goodbye in tears.

　　Three years later, when the young king returned triumphantly, he did not see Remis and the two monsters when he got home, so he hurriedly asked his mother. The mother took out the letter and gave it to her son. The son was surprised when he read it, and then gave the letter he received to his mother. The mother was amazed when she saw it.

　　The king immediately summoned a special envoy to ask what was going on. The envoy took him to and from Beirut's palace for the night, and Queen Seva entertained him and told the king without concealment that he was so drunk.

　　After hearing this, the king suddenly realized that it was Seva who was trying to put Lemis to death.

　　The young king of Tripoli immediately whipped the Pegasus to find Remis and his two sons.

　　After several days of running around, they finally came to the cave. When the king saw Remis, both of them were so excited that they burst into tears and hugged each other tightly. Then the king took up his two sons and kissed them to his heart's content, and I don't know what language to use to express his love and pity for the suffering Remis and the two sons.

　　The king returned to the palace with Remis and his two sons and started a happy life again.

　　Later, the king of Tripoli told Remis' father, King Sarim of Lebanon, all about Remis' misfortune and what Saiva had done.

　　Sarimu suddenly realized that he had been kept in the dark, and then angrily ordered the soldiers to bring Saiwa, cut off her head, and threw the body to feed the dog.
