Jane tells the king that she has received no food or drink from the king's servants in the past few days. She tells him that her temper has gotten worse, and that she is worried that the king will starve her if he does not invite her to stay at the palace. The king tells her that he has been up all night preparing for the arrival of the new duke. Jane is overjoyed to see him, and she tells him to treat him well and to give him her treasures so that he can stay longer with her. She asks him if he would like to be the duke, and he says that he would be happy if she did not want him to be, and then he would spend time with her forever
