Clode, Tocko the clockmaker, the Royal Recorder, and the Royal Physician drew to the conclusion that the Princess was in fact a deer in human form. The Princess decided to tell the princes the true story of her identity when they return. Thag, Gallow, and Jorn came to the castle and claimed the Princess’ hand at the same time. The Princess told Thag her true identity first and asked him if he did love her, and the prince broke the golden board tusks he had brought back with him in protest. The Princess went to Gallow next, and he broke the Sacred Sword of Loralow. The Princess went to Jorn, and Jorn gave her the chalice of rubies and claimed his love for her (Thurber, 92-101).
