Both of them have accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ and he Catholic church at that time finds the Bible In Don's home and sentences him to death.

He poses as the dead man and leads Dona Rosa and Anna to work for the French queen in France.There they barely escape the the ST Bartholomew's massacre and move to England.GEt married and have a son. The father don Fernando writes this story in the form of a letter to his son.
