` If he had a thousand souls , I would kill them all , ' swore the king . That very day a gallows was built outside the town , and all the people crowded round to see the execution of the young man who had dared to beat the king 's daughter . The prisoner , with his hands tied behind his back , was brought out by the hangman , and amidst dead silence his sentence was being read by the judge when suddenly the sword clanked against his side . Instantly a great noise was heard and a golden coach rumbled over the stones , with a white flag waving out of the window . It stopped underneath the gallows , and from it stepped the king of the Magyars , who begged that the life of the boy might be spared . ` Sir , he has beaten my daughter , who only asked him to tell her his secret . I can not pardon that , ' answered the princess 's father . ` Give him to me , I 'm sure he will tell me the secret ; or , if not , I have a daughter who is like the Morning Star , and he is sure to tell it to her . ' The sword clanked for the third time , and the king said angrily : ` Well , if you want him so much you can have him ; only never let me see his face again . ' And he made a sign to the hangman . The bandage was removed from the young man 's eyes , and the cords from his wrists , and he took his seat in the golden coach beside the king of the Magyars . Then the coachman whipped up his horses , and they set out for Buda . The king talked very pleasantly for a few miles , and when he thought that his new companion was quite at ease with him , he asked him what was the secret which had brought him into such trouble . ` That I can not tell you , ' answered the youth , ` until it comes true . ' ` You will tell my daughter , ' said the king , smiling . ' I will tell nobody , ' replied the youth , and as he spoke the sword clanked loudly . The king said no more , but trusted to his daughter 's beauty to get the secret from him . The journey to Buda was long , and it was several days before they arrived there . The beautiful princess happened to be picking roses in the garden , when her father 's coach drove up . ` Oh , what a handsome youth !
