`` No , my Prince , '' replied Celia ; `` I can not help thinking you very handsome ; but what good would riches be to me , and all the grand dresses and splendid carriages that you would give me , if the bad deeds which I should see you do every day made me hate and despise you ? '' The Prince was very angry at this speech , and commanded his officers to make Celia a prisoner and carry her off to his palace . All day long the remembrance of what she had said annoyed him , but as he loved her he could not make up his mind to have her punished . One of the Prince 's favorite companions was his foster-brother , whom he trusted entirely ; but he was not at all a good man , and gave Prince Darling very bad advice , and encouraged him in all his evil ways . When he saw the Prince so downcast he asked what was the matter , and when he explained that he could not bear Celia 's bad opinion of him , and was resolved to be a better man in order to please her , this evil adviser said to him : `` You are very kind to trouble yourself about this little girl ; if I were you I would soon make her obey me . Remember that you are a king , and that it would be laughable to see you trying to please a shepherdess , who ought to be only too glad to be one of your slaves . Keep her in prison , and feed her on bread and water for a little while , and then , if she still says she will not marry you , have her head cut off , to teach other people that you mean to be obeyed . Why , if you can not make a girl like that do as you wish , your subjects will soon forget that they are only put into this world for our pleasure . '' `` But , '' said Prince Darling , `` would it not be a shame if I had an innocent girl put to death ? For Celia has done nothing to deserve punishment . '' `` If people will not do as you tell them they ought to suffer for it , '' answered his foster-brother ; `` but even if it were unjust , you had better be accused of that by your subjects than that they should find out that they may insult and thwart you as often as they please . '' In saying this he was touching a weak point in his brother 's character ; for the Prince 's fear of losing any of his power made him at once abandon his first idea of trying to be good , and resolve to try and frighten the shepherdess into consenting to marry him . His foster-brother , who wanted him to keep this resolution , invited three young courtiers , as wicked as himself to sup with the Prince , and they persuaded him to drink a great deal of wine , and continued to excite his anger against Celia by telling him that she had laughed at his love for her ; until at last , in quite a furious rage , he rushed off to find her , declaring that if she still refused to marry him she should be sold as a slave the very next day . But when he reached the room in which Celia had been locked up , he was greatly surprised to find that she was not in it , though he had the key in his own pocket all the time . His anger was terrible , and he vowed vengeance against whoever had helped her to escape . His bad friends , when they heard him , resolved to turn his wrath upon an old nobleman who had formerly been his tutor ; and who still dared sometimes to tell the Prince of his faults , for he loved him as if he had been his own son . At first Prince Darling had thanked him , but after a time he grew impatient and thought it must be just mere love of fault-finding that made his old tutor blame him when everyone else was praising and flattering him . So he ordered him to retire from his Court , though he still , from time to time , spoke of him as a worthy man whom he respected , even if he no longer loved him . His unworthy friends feared that he might some day take it into his head to recall his old tutor , so they thought they now had a good opportunity of getting him banished for ever . They reported to the Prince that Suliman , for that was the tutor 's name , had boasted of having helped Celia to escape , and they bribed three men to say that Suliman himself had told them about it .
The XXXXX , in great anger , sent his foster-brother with a number of soldiers to bring his tutor before him , in chains , like a criminal .
