You just won Gallopolis’s horse race, pretending to be the Prince Faris, when Sylvando, the jester, entered the changing room and discovered the secret. The said jester talked sarcastically to Faris.

• Sylvando : How chivalrous of you, cavaliere !

• Faris : Please, I did what was necessary for myself and my people ! How could we buy your silence ?

Sylvando seemed to think, then his eyes landed on you. He took your hand and kissed it elegantly.

• Sylvando : I’d keep my bocca shut if this lady/lord would indulge in a rendezvous with me. It’s up to them, of course.
