Quest'ultima porta al collo una collana anticamente forgiata dal dio Vulcano per la moglie Venere, un gioiello che possiede il potere d'innamorare chiunque si trovi intorno a chi lo indossa. Il re si lascia irretire nell'incantesimo d'amore ma non rinuncia all'ossessione della sua vita: l'oro, il potere, la ricchezza.
