Yvain and the 300 maidens leave the castle. The maidens thank Yvain, each bowing to him in gratitude. Yvain wishes them well, then joins up with the messenger maiden, and they continue on their journey. They arrive at the house where the wronged younger daughter awaits. She has recovered from her illness, but her face is still ashen. Happy and grateful to have Yvain at her side, she and Yvain travel to the castle where King Arthur is staying. In the town below, they spend the night in cheap lodgings where no one will look for them.
The next day, time runs out for the younger daughter to search for a champion. The elder daughter arrives at court accompanied by Gawain. She asks king Arthur to grant her her father's estate. Arthur, knowing full well that the elder daughter is cheating her sister, stalls her. Just then, the younger daughter arrives, the Knight of the Lion at her side.
Arthur welcomes the younger daughter, who presents her champion and then asks her sister to resolve the issue by returning to her what is rightfully hers.
