He came to a small town he was very well acquainted with and (was) thinking to himself that he would look around to see what the town was like, alone and dressed in a soldier’s coat, without any sign at all of his noble status, through the streets until he came to two paths, one going to the righthand side and one to the lefthand side, and he didn’t know which one to take. He saw a man standing at the door of a house, and going up to him the emperor said “My friend, can you tell me which of these roads I have to take to get to Killanga. The man was in full soldier’s uniform and taking a draw of a pipe. And in wonder that a traveller in miserable clothing would presume to speak to him so familiarly.
