"Therefore," saith Perceval, "I do it. For, had it been another I should do it not." "Ha, Sir," saith the damsel, "Leave me not here to get forth as I may, but help me until that I shall be in the house of my father, the Sick Knight, that is sore grieved on my account." Perceval understandeth that it is the damsel of whom Galobruns spake such praise.
"Lady," saith he, "How is he named that is in prison?" "Sir," saith she, "Galobruns, and he that holdeth him in prison is named Gohaz of the Castle of the Whale." "Is his castle near this, Lady?" saith he. "Sir, there is but an arm of the sea to cross, and in all these islands of the sea is there none that hath any puissance but he only, and so assured is he that no dread hath he of any.
When the King heard this, he was glad thereof not a whit, and the damsel was loath not a whit, whom he had thus disherited. They row until they come to the rock. Perceval issueth forth of the ship, and bringeth Gohaz up maugre his head. Galobruns seeth him coming and maketh great joy thereof, and Perceval saith to him: "Behold here your mortal enemy! Now do your will of him!"
And you were the son of Galobrutus, you were the son of mine uncle," saith Perceval, "and I of yours, so that it would be a reproach to me for evermore and I left you in this prison." When Galobruns heareth that he is his uncle's son, great joy hath he thereof. He would have fallen at his feet, but Perceval would not, and said to him, "Now be well assured, for I will seek your deliverance."
They enter into the ship and leave Gohaz all sorrowing on the rock, that never thereafter ate nor drank. And Perceval bringeth his cousin and the damsel, and they row until that they come into their land, and Perceval maketh send for all the folk of King Gohaz and maketh all the more powerful do sure homage to Galobruns and his sisters in such sort that the land was all at their will.
"Now let him be here," saith he, "in such sort and in such prison as he put me; for well I know that he will be succoured of none." After that, he flingeth the key into the sea as far as he might, and so seemed it to Galobruns that he well avenged himself in such wise, and better than if he had killed him. Perceval alloweth him everything therein at his will.
He taketh the key and so looseth him of the irons wherein he was imprisoned. "Galobruns," saith Perceval, "Now may you do your pleasure of your enemy?" "Sir," saith he, "Right gladly!" He maketh fast the irons on his feet that he had upon his own, and afterward setteth the collar on his neck.
He sojourned there so long as it pleased him, and then departed and took leave of the damsel and Galobruns, that thanked him much for the lands that he had again through him. Perceval hath rowed until that he is come nigh a castle that was burning fiercely with a great flame, and seeth a hermitage upon the sea hard by.
