Well, what more is there to be said?  You certainly can imagine the rest.  The courtship was not long and the wedding feast was soon ready, for you know kings always have everything at their command.  The brothers Simeon were at once dispatched to the king of Buzan with a message from the korolevna, his daughter, and this is what she wrote: 

“Dear father, mighty king and sovereign:  I have found a husband according to my heart’s wish and I am asking thy fatherly blessing.  My bridegroom, the Tsar Archidei Aggeivitch, sends his counselors to thee, begging thee to come to our wedding.”

At the very moment when the merchant ship was to land at the island of Buzan, crowds of people had gathered to witness the execution of the unfortunate guards and brave warriors whose ill-luck it was to have allowed the princess to disappear.

“Stop!” Simeon the seventh shouted aloud from the deck.  “We bring a missive from the korolevna Helena.  Holla!”

Very glad indeed was the king of the island of Buzan, and glad were all his subjects.  The missive was read and the condemned were pardoned.

“Evidently,” the king said, “it is fated that the handsome and witty Tsar Archidei and my beautiful daughter are to become husband and wife.”

Then the king treated the envoys and the brothers Simeon very well and sent his blessings with them, as he himself did not wish to go, being very old.  The ship soon returned and the Tsar Archidei rejoiced over it with his beautiful bride, and at once summoned the seven Simeons, the seven brave peasants.

He said to them:  “Thanks! thanks! my peasants, my brave tillers of the soil.  Take as much gold as you wish.  Take silver also and ask for whatever is your heart’s desire.  Everything shall be given you with my mighty hand.  Would you like to become boyars, you shall be the greatest among the very great.  Do you choose to become governors, each one shall have a town.”

The first Simeon bowed to the Tsar and cheerfully answered: 

“Thanks also to thee, Tsar Archidei Aggeivitch.  We are but simple people and simple are our ways.  It would not do for us to become boyars or governors.  We do not care for thy treasures either.  We have our own father’s field, which shall always give us bread for hunger and money for need.  Let us go home, taking with us thy gracious word as our reward.  If thou choosest to be so kind, give us thine order which shall save us from the judges and tax-gatherers; and if we should be guilty of some offense, let thyself alone be our judge.  And do, we pray thee, pardon the seventh Simeon, our youngest brother.  His trade is surely bad, but he is not the first and not the last one to have such a gift.”

“Let it be as you wish,” said the Tsar; and every desire was granted to the seven Simeons, and each one of them received a big tumbler of strong green wine out of the hands of the Tsar himself.  Soon after this the wedding was celebrated.
