And one cannot say how delighted they were by the trick the young woman had played on the King. But because they realized how ardently the King was in love with her and that they had very much mocked him, they decided to depart quickly to escape any deceit the tyrant could have prepared for them.
Therefore, late the same evening Giassemen went to the harbor and found a Christian ship that was bound to leave the following night. He reached an agreement with the captain and they made the necessary preparations for their departure. Then early the next morning, he went to see the King and pretended he was going on a journey with some of their merchandise to India. He highly recommended to him the young woman who would remain alone in charge of their palace. The King was greatly pleased about this and without hesitation promised them that because of the many courtesies he had received from them, he would guard their palace and the young woman as if they were his own. The young people thanked him for this profusely, asked to leave, and departed. And since everything had been prepared, late the following day they departed on board of the ship with Giulla and Achel. And in a few hours with a very favorable wind they were miles away from the tyrant.
The King got up early in the morning and when he was informed that the ship had left, he believed that he could leisurely enjoy the young woman.
