T: What gives your heart such courage?
L: Princess, it is love
T: Love?
L: My secret undeclared love, so great that these tortures are sweet to me because I offer them to my Lord...Because by my silence I give him your love...I give you to him, Princess and myself lose everything! Everything! Even the hope impossible of fulfilment! Bind me! Torture me! Let me suffer every torment as the supreme offering of my love for him!
