The young couple fall in love however the fate has decided otherwise: Jindra's father estate is destroyed by fire and Jindra, to save her family from poverty, marries the rich count Ostrovín. She is not happy with him, and grief and anxiety cause her untimely death. As a last wish she asks her father to take her little son to Lípa so that he can bring him up to be a fine patriot.
