The King and Queen of Fez took their leave of the duke and
duchess and all the relatives who were very sad to see them
leave. And the Viscount of Branches also took his leave of
everyone. They embarked on the galleys and set their course
toward the lands of the King of Fez. Our Heavenly Father gave
them such good weather that in a few days they reached the port
of Tangier. And the King of Fez and the Queen disembarked with
all their people. The Viscount of Branches returned to
Constantinople with the forty galleys, and was well received by
the emperor who was greatly desirous of knowing what had happened
in Brittany.
The Viscount of Branches very discreetly told the emperor about
everything that had been done, just as it had been directed by
his majesty. The emperor was highly pleased, and immediately
bought the county of Benaixi, which belonged to the princess, for
three hundred thousand ducats, and gave it to the Viscount of
Branches as a reward for his works, Then he gave a large
inheritance to all those who had married servants of the empress
and the princess so that they could live well and honorably,
each according to his station, and all were very happy.
