So back they came , in time to get their share of what was going ; and they drank the Remora 's very good health , when Prigio told them about the fight . But neither of them ever knew that they had been dead and done for ; because Prigio invented a story that the mountain was enchanted , and that , as long as the Firedrake lived , everyone who came there fell asleep . He did tell them about the flying carpet , however , which of course did not much surprise them , because they had read all about it in the Arabian Nights and other historical works . `` And now I 'll show you fun ! '' said Prigio ; and he asked them both to take their seats on the carpet , and wished to be in the valley of the Remora . There they were in a moment , among the old knights whom , if you remember , the Remora had frozen into stone . There was quite a troop of them , in all sorts of armour -- Greek and Roman , and Knight Templars like Front de Boeuf and Brian du Bois Gilbert -- all the brave warriors that had tried to fight the Remora since the world began .

And as they did it , lo and behold ! each knight came alive , with his horse , and lifted his sword and shouted : `` Long live Prince Prigio ! '' in Greek , Latin , Egyptian , French , German , and Spanish , -- all of which the prince perfectly understood , and spoke like a native . So he marshalled them in order , and sent them off to ride to Falkenstein and cry : `` Prince Prigio is coming ! '' Off they went , the horses ' hoofs clattering , banners flying , sunshine glittering on the spear-points . Off they rode to Falkenstein ; and when the king saw them come galloping in , I can tell you he had no more notion of hanging Prigio . -LCB- Riding off to Falkenstein : p136.jpg -RCB- CHAPTER XVIII . The Very Last . The princes returned to Gluckstein on the carpet , and went to the best inn , where they dined together and slept . Next morning they , and the ambassador , who had been told all the story , and Lady Rosalind , floated comfortably on the carpet back to Falkenstein , where the king wept like anything on the shoulders of Alphonso and Enrico . They could not make out why he cried so , nor why Lady Molinda and Lady Kathleena cried ; but soon they were all laughing and happy again . But then -- would you believe he could be so mean ?
-- he refused to keep his royal promise , and restore Prigio XXXXX his crown-princeship !
