Genderona stood at the doorway, looking sad, and watched him go. The queen was also present, and her friends were moved by this event. People were greatly surprised that the madman knew the hidden truth of things, and even saw through his sister's affair. However, they thought he had lied about the boy's death. He said three times what should have been one. His words had long been considered meaningless over many years. But when the boy became an adult, the prophecy became clear to everyone, and it became something that many people believed in.

One day, a young boy went hunting with his dogs and found a deer hiding in the shade of a tree. He released the dogs, and one of them spotted the deer and ran off course, filling the air with barking. The boy himself spurred his horse forward in pursuit, blowing a horn and shouting signals while urging his attendants to come faster. There was a high mountain surrounded by rocks nearby, and a river flowed through the flatlands beside it. The deer escaped its pursuers and jumped into the river, searching for a hiding place as usual. Driven by momentum, the boy rode straight over the mountain, looking for the deer among the rolling rocks. At that moment, his horse slipped off a high cliff, and the boy also fell from the steep slope of the mountain into the river. However, only the boy's feet were caught on a tree, while the rest of his body was submerged in the water. Thus, he fell, drowned, and hung from the tree. In this way, all three dangers that Merlin had foretold came true.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in the forest, living like a wild beast, enduring frost while exposed to snow, rain, and strong winds. For him, this life was better than administering laws in towns and governing unruly people.

As the years passed, while he was living among the forest animals and leading that kind of life, Gendroena married another man according to the customs of marriage. In the night sky, the horns of the moon shone brightly, and all the lights adorning the celestial ceiling glittered. The air was clearer than usual. A cold, harsh north wind chased away the clouds, wiping away the haze with a dry breeze, and cleared the sky. The prophet gazed at the movements of the stars from a high mountain and secretly muttered under the night sky.

"What does the light of Mars signify? This red glow, shining now, is it a harbinger of the king's death and the birth of a new king? It appears that way to me. Constantine has passed away, and his nephew Conan has become king, having killed his uncle and seized the crown. But Venus, you who dwell in the heavens, moving along your ordained path beneath the ecliptic, following the sun – what connection do you have with that light that cleaves the two skies? Is this a sign that my love will be torn apart? Such lights indicate lovers separated from each other. Perhaps Gendrone has left me while I was hesitant and is now rejoicing in the arms of another man. Thus, I am defeated, and she will have another man as her husband. While I linger, my rights are being taken away. Yes, a love that remains stagnant loses to a man who does not hesitate, who is neither far nor near, but close by. But I will not be jealous. Now, if she marries under auspicious circumstances and obtains my permission, she can live with her new husband. Tomorrow, when the night breaks, I will leave. I will take with me the gift that I promised to give upon leaving."

Then, he went around all the forests and woodlands. He gathered a herd of deer, including dama deer and sika deer, and mounted them. As night fell, Gendroena hurried to her destination, driving the herd forward. Upon arriving, he stopped the deer in front of the doorway and called out loudly. "Gendroena! Gendroena, come out. I want you to see this gift." She smiled and immediately appeared, surprised by the man riding the deer and the deer that obeyed his will. She was also amazed that he had brought so many wild animals alone, just as a shepherd leads sheep to pasture.

The groom stood by a tall window, watching the knight on horseback as he approached the throne, and laughed with amusement. The prophet immediately recognized the groom's true identity. He quickly broke off the branch antlers that he had been using to ride the deer, raised them above his head, and threw them at the groom. They shattered the groom's skull, taking his life and releasing his soul into the wind. Immediately, he spurred the deer with his heel and tried to escape back into the forest. The attendants rushed from all directions, chasing after the prophet across the field. He ran quickly, and if there hadn't been a river in front of him, he would have escaped straight into the forest. As the beast leaped over the stream, Merlin slipped and fell into the raging current. The attendants circled around the bank, captured him as he swam, and brought him back to the mansion where they handed him over to his sister.

The captured prophet was once again plunged into sorrow and longed to return to the forest. He struggled to break free from his restraints, refused to smile, and rejected both drink and food. His sadness even saddened his sister. Seeing that he had completely lost all joy and would not even touch the prepared meal, Rodalx felt pity for him and ordered him to be taken out of town. He thought that by seeing the roads and people, and looking at the unusual items being sold, his mood might improve as he walked.

He was taken out of the palace, and in front of the gate, he saw a doorman wearing shabby clothes, who was asking passersby for money to buy new clothes with a trembling voice. The prophet stopped and laughed at the poor man. Further on, he saw a young man who had just bought new shoes, selling the soles of his shoes. The prophet laughed again, and refused to walk through the square any longer while being watched by people. He wanted to go into the forest, looking back repeatedly, and was trying to turn towards the forbidden path in that direction.

The attendants returned to the mansion and reported that he had laughed twice and wanted to return to the forest. Therefore, Lord Aldarx, wanting to know what the laughter foretold, immediately ordered his bonds to be released. He said that if he would explain the reason for the laughter, he could go back to the usual forest. The prophet stood beside him with a bright expression and answered:

"In front of the gate, a guard wearing thin clothes was sitting. He was asking passersby for money to buy clothes, as if he were poor. However, beneath him, there was a mountain of coins that he had been hiding for many years. He was secretly wealthy. I laughed when I saw this. If you dug up the soil under that man, you would find gold that he had accumulated over a long time. Further into the square, I saw a man buying shoes and shoe soles. When his shoes tear at the seams or become worn with holes, he intends to mend them and use them again. I laughed when I saw this. That pitiful man will not be able to use those shoes or shoe soles anymore. Because right now, he is sinking into the water and washing up on the shore. Go see for yourself."

Lord Ardux, wanting to confirm the man's words, quickly sent his attendants to the riverbank. He ordered them to immediately report if they found any such men drowning near the shore. The attendants carried out their orders and patrolled the riverside, where they discovered a young man sinking in the sand. They returned to the mansion and reported this to the king. Meanwhile, the king had moved the gatekeeper aside and began digging in the ground beneath him, uncovering buried treasures. He then respectfully praised the witty prophet.
