XXXXIV What hapned in the Court of the Emperor after the combat How Palmerin ended the Adventure of the Inchanted Castle PRince Florian having renounced his love to the Princess Targiana upon her freshly entertaining the amours of Albayzer who had been vanquished by Florendos care was taken to send her to her Father's Court which was
