Lutufonissa laughed and said, "Women have many desires."

King. What is your last wish?

Lu. First, let it be ordered that your slave's request will be granted.

King. If it will not harm the kingdom in any way.

King. Then I agree; what is your wish? let me hear.

Lu. I want to marry.

Jahangir broke into a loud laugh: "Truly, this is a new wish; and have you decided on a bridegroom?"

Lu. Yes; it only awaits the king's order.
