 He could enter the room of the young women whenever he liked, and enjoy lovemaking with them. He added that he would also be able to immediately find a remedy against that.

When the counselor asked him dearly to do so, Rammo called the young women together with him and wrote a few words on a piece of paper which he gave them, ordering that if they were molested at night by anyone, to light a great fire in the room and throw the paper in there. This would enable them to truly see who was molesting them.

Afterwards he left them and before the night had arrived, he returned to the room of the daughters using the secret that he could not be seen by anyone. As soon as they went to bed, he moved in among them as was his habit. Noticing that, they got out of bed and made a great fire in which they threw the piece of paper with the words written by the old woman. Then they saw Rammo whom they did not know to be the son of the Sultan. They tied him up and brought him to the room of their father. With the secret he knew, he changed his face when he entered the room of the counselor who did not recognize him.

Since he wanted to assault him, Rammo approached the devil who was his constant companion and ordered him to slap the counselor forcefully on the face. He followed the command quickly and slapped him so vigorously that he fell down. He therefore retired in pain to his bed.
