This episode contains two "chapters" from the story. First of all, Brunissen wants to have her plans approved by Melian de Monmelior, and uses her guile and charm to get what she wants.

The Tale of Jaufre Episode 9
An episode with no combats, no opponents, and no conflict of any kind, except of course the battle of emotions within the heart! In this episode, Jaufre rides back, first to the castle of Augier d'Eixart, and then to Monbrun, where the beautiful and somewhat impatient Brunissen is awaiting news from her seneschal. This episode includes the hauntingly beautiful statement of love made by Jaufre, set to music and sung by David Yardley.

The Tale of Jaufre Episode 7
Jaufre has been told by Augier d'Eixart where he needs to go to find the information he's seeking about Taulat de Rogimon. In Chapter 9, he finds his way there and discovers more. He then needs to wait for a week, and so he takes a side trip into a forest, where he has some surprising encounters (Chapter 10). Finally in Chapter 11, on his way back to Rogimon, he is needed to rescue a former acquaintance.
