Rimilda of Dauf, daughter of the Earl of Maubry, stood at the top of the tallest tower of her castle. The wind that flew from the east whispered to her about distant lands, where among the endless sands, under the merciless sun, her brother was fighting, who, along with other young men, had gone to the Third Crusade. At that moment, she had already made a decision: to go to the Holy Land after her brother and return with the young Earl of Maubry. Only he will be able to protect hereditary lands from the invasion of neighboring invaders, and she herself from a hated marriage with one of them. Rimilda was not going to submit. Everything has already been decided. Just what awaits her there in the East? Trouble or maybe happiness?..Literary treatment of the text by E. Polyanskaya.
