His presence gave strength to the boys of the ball, which reverberated over three hills and valleys. Across three hills and a valley where three beautiful sisters live, where Arbanas rushes madly, promises them and brings them to his drunken company as a trophy. Marko falls again at the mamuran mountain from which three white knights will impale him on the cross. Marko still manages to see who the three white knights are at the posthumous bully…
