Speak to me but once ; I am your Ilonka . ' But the king was so sound asleep he neither heard nor spoke , and Ilonka left the room , sadly thinking he was ashamed to own her . Soon after the queen again sent to say that she wanted to buy the spindle . The girl agreed to let her have it on the same conditions as before ; but this time , also , the queen took care to give the king a sleeping draught . And once more Ilonka went to the king 's room and spoke to him ; whisper as sweetly as she might she could get no answer . Now some of the king 's servants had taken note of the matter , and warned their master not to eat and drink anything that the queen offered him , as for two nights running she had given him a sleeping draught . The queen had no idea that her doings had been discovered ; and when , a few days later , she wanted the flax , and had to pay the same price for it , she felt no fears at all . At supper that night the queen offered the king all sorts of nice things to eat and drink , but he declared he was not hungry , and went early to bed . The queen repented bitterly her promise to the girl , but it was too late to recall it ; for Ilonka had already entered the king 's room , where he lay anxiously waiting for something , he knew not what . All of a sudden he saw a lovely maiden who bent over him and said : ` My dearest love , I am yours and you are mine . Speak to me , for I am your Ilonka . ' At these words the king 's heart bounded within him . He sprang up and embraced and kissed her , and she told him all her adventures since the moment he had left her . And when he heard all that Ilonka had suffered , and how he had been deceived , he vowed he would be revenged ; so he gave orders that the swineherd , his wife and daughter should all be hanged ; and so they were . The next day the king was married , with great rejoicings , to the fair Ilonka ; and if they are not yet dead -- why , they are still living . -LSB- From Ungarische Mahrehen . -RSB- Lucky Luck Once upon a time there was a king who had an only son .
