* Leaving Flavia’s house : مغادرة منزل فلافيا

* The responsibilities of a position : مسئوليات المكانة الاجتماعية

• Rassendyll had never liked responsibilities مسئوليات. After he had become King, he had many responsibilities. He remembered يتذكر Rose’s words that a position  مكانة in society المجتمع brought with it responsibilities. He had always wanted to have a quiet life. He wasn’t used to hard work.

* Perfect pretension:  ادعاء متقن

• Almost تقريبا nobody noticed لاحظ that Rassendyll was not the real King because he looked so like the King and he was very good at ماهر فى pretending التظاهر that he had forgotten rules قواعد or people he had met them.

* News about the king:  أخبار عن الملك

• One day, Sapt brought Rassendyll a letter from Antoinette de Mauban and told him that the King was at the Castle of Zenda. Three of Michael’s Six men, Lauengram, Krafstein and young Rupert Hentzau, the three biggest criminals in Ruritania, were guarding the King at the Castle. The drawbridge الجسر was nearly always kept up and nobody was allowed into the building without Michael’s or Rupert’s permission.

* Warning: تحذير

• Rassendyll wanted to go to Zenda to rescue ينقذ the King. Sapt warned حذر him that if he went there, he would probably be killed by Michael’s men. Rassendyll’s life was in danger, so Sapt ordered six men to follow him wherever حيثما he went. It would be very useful for Michael if he disappeared. And if he disappeared, the game would be over. De Gautet, Bersonin and Detchard were in Strelsau, and any one of them could catch him easily.

* A letter from Antoinette de Mauban:  خطاب من أنطوانيت دو موبان

• In her letter, Antoinette asked Rassendyll to meet her at the summer house as she wanted to tell him something very important about his life. She asked him to come alone. If he didn’t come, his life would be in danger. She said she was a loyal friend to him. She told him not to show that letter to anyone, or it would put her in great danger: Michael would punish her. She told him to ask Sapt if he didn’t believe her.

* Doubts:  شكوك 

• Rassendyll and Sapt believed that the letter was written by Michael to trap يوقعRassendyll. Antoinette came to Ruritania with her servants as a guest of Michael. She had a great argument جدل with Michael, and she was staying somewhere in Strelsau.

* Reason for going to the summer house:  سبب الذهاب إلى المنزل الصيفي

• Rassendyll decided قرر to go to the summer house as he believed that Antoinette might have information about Michael and the King. Every day they left the King imprisoned محبوس there was more danger. Sapt did not want Rassendyll to go there.

* Meeting Antoinette and Michael‘s plan: مقابلة أنطوانيت و خطة مايكل

• Rassendyll and Sapt went to the summer house. Sapt waited outside the gate and Rassendyll went into the house. Antoinette told him she knew he was not the King.

• Antoinette wrote the letter to him at the Duke’s orders أوامر. Antoinette told Rassendyll about Michael’s plan to kill him.

• Michael planned to kill Rassendyll and take his body into the old town. The body would be found and Michael would arrest Colonel Sapt and Captain Fritz for murdering قتل Rassendyll. Then a messenger رسول would be sent to Zenda and the real King would be murdered too. The Duke would then become King.

• Antoinette said that she wanted to help Rassendyll because she didn’t want to see people being killed. Antoinette believed that Rassendyll was never safe in the capital. Michael’s men were waiting for a chance to kill Rassendyll. She asked him to leave quickly. She would tell the Duke that he never came.

* Michael’s men and their generous offer:   رجال مايكل و عرضهم الكريم

• Michael’s men arrived. One of Michael’s men (Detchard) offered Rassendyll a safe journey to the border and fifty thousand English pounds. Rassendyll believed it was a trick to kill him. He pretended that he had accepted the offer. He asked Detchard to open the door from the outside. He held the iron table to protect him and he rushed اندفع out of the door and knocked the three men down. He ran quickly away, firing his gun behind him and injuring أصاب Detchard’s arm. He told Sapt about the table as they jumped on their horses and rode quickly back to the palace.

* The report of the Chief of Police: تقرير رئيس الشرطة

• Sapt read Rassendyll the latest report from the Chief of Police. The report said that Michael left the capital and went to Zenda. An hour later, three of his men De Gautet, Bersonin and Detchard, followed him. Detchard had a bandage ضمادة around his arm. The report also said that people of the capital wanted the King to marry Princess Flavia as soon as possible. If this didn’t happen, the Princess should marry Michael. A ball حفلة رقص had been held for Flavia. Rassendyll was supposed يفترض to ask the Princess to marry him. Sapt told Rassendyll to ask the Princess to marry him. Rassendyll said he couldn’t do it as it wouldn’t be fair عادل to the Princess.

* The ball:  حفلة الرقص

• The ball was a great success. Flavia told Rassendyll that everyone said that he had done a very good job. He told her that someone once told him that a person who had a position in society had responsibilities. He also said that when he was younger, he didn’t realise that a position in society had responsibilities. He thought he didn’t need to worry about society as he believed that was someone else’s job. Flavia was surprised to hear that as she believed that Rassendyll always knew that he would become King. Rassendyll thought that he had made a mistake.

• Instead of saying something to cover up his mistake, Rassendyll wanted to tell Flavia the truth about himself. He wanted to warn her that the situation in Ruritania was not as good as she believed it to be. He believed she should know what had happened to her future husband. Just as Rassendyll was going to tell Flavia the truth, Sapt appeared at the door and told Rassendyll that someone wanted to see him.

• Rassendyll realised then that his game had gone too far to go back: he could not tell anyone who he really was or they would think he was mad. Sapt stopped him from saying too much to the Princess, and Sapt’s plan really was working.

* A man of principles:  رجل مبادئ

• Rassendyll told Sapt that everyone really thought he was the King, even the Princess. He could even arrange for the Duke and the real King to be killed. But he wouldn’t do that. He also said he could not stand لا يتحمل pretending to be the king any more as it wasn’t fair for the people of Ruritania and it wasn’t fair for the Princess, either. They couldn’t wait any longer. They had to go to Zenda and rescue ينقذ the King.

* Two letters from Michael and Antoinette:  خطابين من مايكل و أنطوانيت

• Rassendyll visited Flavia in her palace. She told him that she had received two letters. One was from Michael, who had invited her to visit Zenda. The second was from Antoinette de Mauban who warned Flavia not to accept any invitation from Michael and not to go anywhere without many guards حراس. Rassendyll told Flavia to pretend that she was ill so as not to go to Zenda.

*A visit to Marshal Strakencz: زيارة إلى المشير ستراكينتز

• Rassendyll trusted Marshal Strakencz. He asked him to guard Princess Flavia and protect her from Michael’s men. He told him he was worried about the Duke’s ambitions طموحات. Rassendyll decided to go to Zenda to save the King. He told Marshal Strakencz that every evening, he would send him a message. If he didn’t get a message for three days, he would declare يعلن himself the head of Strelsau. Then
