They bring Sezema, the captive son of the lord of Homberk, to the castle, demanding that his father surrender. However, Blahuta from Homberk refuses. And so Seshem is hanged in front of the castle. So now Blahut is left with only his left-hand man, Marek Bastard, who will have to ask the King himself for a pardon for his father...

After ten years, however, he is so worn down by his adventures in business that he humbly returns to writing, preferring to let his fictional heroes torment him.
