He went after the stag, and on the Cynfael river he overtook the stag and slew it. Then what with slaying the stag and baiting his dogs, he was busied till the night closed in on him. As the day declined he came past the gate of the court, and she sent messengers to ask him in as night was drawing near. She came herself to meet him, to make him welcome.
They changed their garb and went to sit down. Blodeuedd looked on him, and from that moment she looked on him there was no part of her that was not filled with love of him. Gronw too gazed on her, and did not conceal that he loved her.
The next morning he sought to depart, but she made him stay. Then that night they took counsel how they might stay together, and she bade him stay a second night.
The next day he sought to depart again, and she did not prevent him. Gronw resolved to mount an attack on Ardudwy, and so take for himself LleuÕs lands and his wife.
