The Queen sat up, and from her mirror she found that they were right, and the red spot on her forehead was bright like a star. The prince was still standing quietly by, and, when the ladies looked round, they found him behind the palms.
The Manık Queen asked him to come near and tell her all that had happened, and when she heard of his father's dream, and how he had travelled and had seen all her younger sisters, she looked very happy. She thought she had never seen anyone so handsome, and with so good a face, as the prince. She gave orders that her wedding should be celebrated very soon, and then she said to the prince: "As you have married me, don't think that you have married only one. With me, you have married my four sisters, the Pearl Queen, the Diamond Queen, the Gold Queen, and the Silver Queen."
The prince was only too happy on hearing this, and said: "My Queen, my Manık Queen, I am honoured, and I am proud to have such Queens as you all are, to be my wives."
