THE KISS
By Carlota Sánchez- Portal
This legend happened at the beginning of the 21th century, when some French soldiers came for an expedition to Toledo.
Toledo is placed in the middle of Spain and it is an old town with castles, cathedrals and it’s surrounded by old walls.
When they entered the city of Toledo, the soldiers couldn’t find a place to stay, so they decided to go to a nearby church in order to rest.
The soldiers were led by the captain, he was full of qualities of a leader, he was brave, smart and authoritarian, but on the other hand he was arrogant and superficial, he was wearing a special military uniform with some shiny grades on his shoulders.
The captain was in lead of an elite troupe of soldiers who were brave, loyal, respectful and strong. The soldiers were wearing a common military equipment.
The church where they stopped was called “San Pedro Martir”and it was a convent of enormous dimensions, organized around three courtyards: the “Real”, the “Silencio” and the “Naranjos”.
While the soldiers were sleeping in the night, the captain saw a beautiful, pale, blonde haired lady with blue eyes who was wearing a long black dress and she also had a gold pendant in which there was a picture of a man.
The next morning when all the soldiers woke up, the captain announced the following:
-I saw the most beautiful women that I could ever imagine.
-When did you see her and where, captain?
-She’s located at the bottom of the tombstone of a warrior.
-Can we see her, please? ~ the soldiers said.
-Of course, we’ll go there tonight.
At the night, after a few glasses of French champagne they all agreed to go at the tombstone. When they got there, the captain said:
-Look at this beautiful lady!
The soldiers were fascinated by her beauty…
Because of the captain’s drunkenness, he threw the glass of wine on the warrior’s coffin and afterwards he tried to kiss the lady, but when he got too close to her, the warrior raised an arm and hit the captain’s face, leaving him on the floor with his face full of blood.
