Italo then had Pierre dressed in a splended suit of clothes and seated him in the carriage next to Glustina.

Haita hurried to the carriage, asking the country folks along the road that the "Maraquis of Carabas" owns the land. Haita then went to the Italo's castle stolen by an ogre named Charles who tries to attack Haita by changing into a lion and started chasing her until Haita managed to trick him into turning into a mouse. Haita then pounces on Charles but released him and told him to leave and never return. Italo arrives at the castle that was stolen by the ogre but after Pierre and Haita both apologized and told the truth, he allowed Pierre to marry Glustina and therefore, Haita became a nun who protects anyone who is in danger.
