He has a dream of three figures: a stately Lady, his House Maid, and a Draf in a yellow hood. The Dwarf uncovers that Walter has wandered into the place where there is the Woman, who keeps an excellent house at the core of the wood. Walter and the House Maid are pursued by a Dwarf who claims that the Maid has killed the stately Lady. The House Maid uncovers that she welcomed the King's Son to her bed, and cast a glamour over him such that he looked like Walter.At the point when the Lady went into the room, she believed him to be an untrustworthy Walter and killed him in his sleep; the House Maid then, killed the Lady with a knife. They proclaim their affection for each other, and Walter breaks the Servant's iron ring.
