Dogtanian pursues Bonguau who joins up with Blancbec in his castle, to tell him all is lost and that they must flee. Dogtanian arrives as Blancbec and Bonguau are preparing to escape, but Blancbec threatens that he will kill Fleur if Dogtanian does not give up his sword. Dogtanian throws down his sword, but at the same time, Fleur bites Blancbec’s hand and forces him to release her. As Dogtanian embraces his daughter, the two villains take flight—but not very far. The Three Muskehounds, following Dogtanian, cut them off and capture them.
