Count Tigrevurmud Vorn of the Brunish territory of Alsace is taken prisoner by Eleonora Viltaria, a war maiden of the neighboring kingdom of Zhcted. She will return him to Brune if his ransom is paid, but she has another reason for keeping him.

the corner like a modest maiden.
no me puedo esconder en un rincón
como una doncella modesta.
aunque me dé tanta vergüenza 
que casi no pueda ni respirar.
