Fabrizio's use of tarot cards to predict the future has disastrous consequences for himself and his master. The king's guard arrive to convey Mangus to the castle, where the King demands that Mangus save his daughter, from a ghost that is haunting her, in exchange for Mangus' freedom. In the end, Mangus discovers the princess, queen and prince's plans to stop Count Scarazoni in his plans to marry the princess for the throne.
