This makes the King and daughter angry and the King takes away from him all his estates and honor. Eric, enraged by this act, decides to get even with him. Hilma and two of the servants are out looking for a lost slave girl. Eric watches his chance and while Hilma is fast asleep and no one about her he carries her away to his hut and there keeps her in captivity. He promises to let her go if she will regain for him his lost estates, which she consents to do. Eric then sends a note to the King saying that he is holding his daughter in bonds, but that if he will restore to him his estates he will release her. The King then starts out with his warriors in search of his daughter. On hearing that the King is coming, Eric and Hilma go down to the sea, Eric hiding in some bushes while Hilma pleads with her father to let Eric have his estates and honor back and tells him that if he will not do this she will return to him. The father is very angry, but finally consents to grant her request and places on Eric a headdress which denotes that he has regained his honor and position. Written by
