at last the ceremony was over , and the king , signing to his newly found son to follow him , rose and went into another room . ' tell me how you knew all that , ' he said , throwing himself into a carved chair filled with crimson cushions , and the prince told of his meeting with the old woman who had brought him the jewels from his mother , and how he had sworn before a priest to marry her , though he did not want to do it , on account of the difference in their ages , and besides , he would rather receive a bride chosen by the king himself . but the king frowned , and answered sharply : ' you swore to marry her if she saved your life , and , come what may , you must fulfil your promise . ' then , striking a silver shield that hung close by , he said to the equerry who appeared immediately : ' go and seek the priest who lives near the door of the prison , and ask him where you can find the old woman who visited him last night ; and when you have found her , bring her to the palace . '
how did the king feel after the gentleman did not want to marry the old woman ?
unhappy .
upset by his son not wanting to keep his promise .
