Alphege or the green monkey

I know,` said the King, `that you are plotting against my crown and person, and I have come to have an explanation with you.` As she was about to answer Prince Alphege, who had heard all, came forward and said, `It is from me you must ask an explanation, brother.` He spoke with such grace and dignity that everyone gazed at him with mute surprise. At length the King, recovering from his astonishment at recognising the brother who had been lost some years before, exclaimed, `Yes, you are indeed my brother, and now that I have found you, take the throne to which I have no longer a right.` So saying, he respectfully kissed the Prince`s hand. Alphege threw himself into his arms, and the brothers hastened to the royal palace, where in the presence of the entire court he received the crown from his brother`s hand. To clear away any possible doubt, he showed the ruby which the Good Queen had given him in his childhood. As they were gazing at it, it suddenly split with a loud noise, and at the same moment the Wicked Queen expired.
King Alphege lost no time in marrying his dear and lovely Zayda, and his joy was complete when the Good Queen appeared at his wedding. She assured him that the Fairy of the Mountain had henceforth lost all power over him, and after spending some time with the young couple, and bestowing the most costly presents on them, she retired to her own country.
King Alphege insisted on his brother sharing his throne, and they all lived to a good old age, universally beloved and admired.
