When he came in sight of the castle he was again just a little afraid . It was much more splendid than the other , but here too there was not a human being to be seen . So Halvor went into the kitchen , and did not linger there either , but went straight in . ` Nay ! do Christian folk dare to come here ? ' cried the second Princess . ' I know not how long it is since I myself came , but during all that time I have never seen a Christian man . It will be better for you to depart at once , for a Troll lives here who has six heads . ' ` No , I shall not go , ' said Halvor ; ` even if he had six more I would not . ' ` He will swallow you up alive , ' said the Princess . But she spoke to no purpose , for Halvor would not go ; he was not afraid of the Troll , but he wanted some meat and drink , for he was hungry after his journey . So she gave him as much as he would have , and then she once more tried to make him go away . ` No , ' said Halvor , ' I will not go , for I have not done anything wrong , and I have no reason to be afraid . ' ` He wo n't ask any questions about that , ' said the Princess , ` for he will take you without leave or right ; but as you will not go , try if you can wield that sword which the Troll uses in battle . ' He could not brandish the sword ; so the Princess said that he was to take a draught from the flask which hung by its side , and when he had done that he could wield the sword . Soon afterwards the Troll came , and he was so large and stout that he was forced to go sideways to get through the door . When the Troll got his first head in he cried : ` Hutetu ! It smells of a Christian man 's blood here ! ' With that Halvor cut off the first head , and so on with all the rest . The Princess was now exceedingly delighted , but then she remembered her sisters , and wished that they too were free .
Halvor thought that might be managed , and wanted to set off immediately ; but XXXXX he had to help the Princess to remove the Troll 's body , so it was not until morning that he set forth on his way .
