In Courting Trouble a young warrior is eager to prove himself. He goes in search of conquest. Along the way, he is directed to an enchanted castle. His experience there foreshadows the way the rest of his quest will go. Here's the way his evening starts:
Then [my host] sent me off to my chamber with one of the beautiful maidens, saying it was the custom among his people, and I must not insult the girl by refusing her. The girl was beautiful, as they all were there, and I wouldn’t have insulted her for a king’s ransom.
