twelve o'clock midnight
The knight answered that he would do everything she commanded , and he kissed her hand . The princess embraced him , and he bowed and left the palace . He dressed as a Moor and took Carillo , who had brought the letter to the emperor , as his companion . They left the city at twelve o'clock midnight , and took the same roads by which Carillo had come secretly , and no one in the Moorish camp saw them . At dawn they reached the bridge where Tirant had his camp . When the guards recognized them they let them pass , and they went directly to Tirant 's tent and found him already up . Tirant was very happy to see them , and he asked Sinegerus for news about the emperor and the empress , and his heart , the princess .
