Aurelius finally confesses his love, but Dorigen rejects him.

- For two years, Aurelius is ill. His brother finally discovers a solution to the problem: He is reminded of a student who claimed to have cracked the magic's hidden codes contained in priceless books. If the student magician's wizardry clears the coast of rocks, Aurelius will pay him 1,000 pounds. The student magician concurs, and the act is carried out.

- Then Aurelius gathers all his gold together, only to discover that he can pay only half of what he owes the student-magician. When the student-magician learns that Dorigen was relieved of her part of the bargain, the student-magician cancels Aurelius' entire debt.
