Mais, affaibli par ses blessures, il s'évanouit. La reine, endeuillée par la mort du roi, suspecte le chef de la police, car son propre décès lui permettrait de devenir régent. Depuis le meurtre de son mari, la reine a perdu goût à la vie et ne demande guère mieux que de subir un sort identique. Elle séquestre le jeune rebelle et le présente comme son lecteur attitré. Ils tombent très rapidement amoureux l'un de l'autre et Sebastiano l'incite à reconquérir son royaume. Le chef de la police, le comte Föhn, n'ignore pas que Sebastiano est caché au château. Il le fait bientôt arrêter et lui propose un marché : convaincre la reine d'abandonner son trône contre la vie sauve et la liberté. Sebastiano préfère se suicider à l'aide d'une pilule empoisonnée. Furieuse, la reine lui fait croire qu'elle ne l'a jamais aimé. Dans un dernier effort, Sebastiano, s'armant d'un pistolet, la tue. Les deux amants s'effondrent, leurs mains cherchant à se rejoindre.
