She pleads with her father to secure Jacques as her husband. The French officers laugh in derision at the idea. So far does Teria's love go that the chief orders Jacques taken prisoner. He is brought before Teria, and through force and seduction accepts her proposal. Jacques comes to love Teria, but loyalty to his country demands that he return. At every attempt at escape he is outwitted by Hoato-aru's warriors, until at length the captain of the vessel sends out an expedition for him. At the very height of his love he is torn away from Teria, with only her last gift, a flower, with which to remember the sweetest experience of his existence.
