Once upon a time, there was a valiant knight, the greatest warrior in the kingdom. He attended an arena fight, and he brought along his lover, a very beautiful woman. He was deeply in love with her, and to illustrate he kissed her fervently throughout the battle. In sheer hardness of heart, she threw her glove into the arena with the gladiators and ferocious beasts, and said to him, "If you truly love me, you'll go and fetch my glove".
At no small risk to his own safety, he immediately entered the arena and recovered her glove and returned to his seat. Then, seeing her true character revealed, all of his love for her became contempt, and he threw her glove in her face. The King noticed this act of bravery, and discernment of character, and publicly honored the knight, shamed the woman, and offered his daughter in marriage to him for his service, wisdom, and of course the entertainment. The knight fell in love quickly with his new wife, Loved her fervently and passionately, and they lived happily ever after.
