And after a little while, the wicked maiden departed and came to Ghedin and said to him: "Ghedin, I bring you most wondrous news, for T. is in madonna Isotta's chamber and sleeps in the bed. Now prepare yourself, if you are indeed a valiant knight, so that you may seize him tonight." Then Ghedin departs and goes to the knights who were kinsmen of those whom T. had killed and said to them: "This evening be armed and ready and come to the palace to my chamber, and I shall deliver T. into your hands, provided truly that you shall not strike him, but rather seize him, in such a manner that he comes alive into the hands of king Marco." And the knights said: "This we shall do well." Then Ghedin returns to king Marco and said: "King Marco, I believe that tomorrow I shall give you T. captured in person." And the king said: "If you do this for me, I tell you that you shall not ask any reward that I shall not give you. But all the while I remind you that no one should strike him, but rather take him without striking him and without doing any harm to his person."

And when night came, as T. slept with madonna Isotta, Braguina carried away T.'s sword to his lodging and gave it to Governale, because T. had told her to carry it away.

And thinking of the beauty of madonna Isotta and the prowess of T., he begins to grieve bitterly for them and to say within himself: "Alas, Ghedin, why have you slain me? Now I may well say that I am the most unfortunate king that ever was, since through my own fault I have had seized the best knight in the world and the one who has done me the most good and honor and service. And since he is seized, it is necessary that vengeance be done upon him and that I have the queen destroyed, who is the most beautiful woman in the world."
