CHAPTER XIV.
How ARGON GOT THE SOVEREIGNTY AT LAST.
•
WHEN Argon heard the words of Boga he took them in
truth for an untimely jest, and replied with much bitter-
ness of soul : " Good my Lord," quoth he, " you do ill to
mock me thus ! Surely it suffices that you have done
me so great wrong already, and that you hold me, your
lawful Lord, here a prisoner and in chains ! Ye know
well, as I cannot doubt, that you are doing an evil and a
wicked thing, so I pray you go your way, and cease to
flout me." " Good my Lord Argon," said Boga, " be
assured we are not mocking you, but are speaking in
sober earnest, and we will swear it on our Law." Then
all the Barons swore fealty to him as their Lord, and
Argon too swore that he would never reckon it against
them that they had taken him prisoner, but would hold
them as clear as his father before him had done.
And when these oaths had passed they struck off
Argon's fetters, and hailed him as their lord. Argon
then desired them to shoot a volley of arrows into the
tent of the Melic who had held them prisoners, and who
was in command of the army, that he might be slain.
At his word they tarried not, but straightway shot a
great number of arrows at the tent, and so slew the
Melic. When that was done Argon took the supreme
command and gave his orders as sovereign, and was
obeyed by all. And you must know that the name of
him who was slain, whom we have called the Melic, was
SOLDAN ; and he was the greatest Lord after Acomat
himself, In this way that you have heard, Argon re-
covered his authority.
