The young lady regrets herself for not having tried to help him to escape as she did. But he let her the chance to escape from the castle, he sacrificed himself for one of them two to live, if she had gone to save him probably her spiritless body would have been underground. The old man surely was the closest thing to a father she had.

The man begged the duke to let him have the child so she could assist him. After convincing him, the girl was left as a gift to the interpreter.
