Hentzau is mortally wounded, and Rassendyll burns the letter. After tracing Bauer to the house of Mother Holf, Rassendyll and Rupert engage in an epic duel. Rassendyll returns to Ruritania to aid the Queen, but is once more forced to impersonate the King after Rupert fatally shoots Rudolf V in a remote hunting lodge. Hentzau sees in it a chance to return to favour by informing the pathologically jealous and paranoid King. The letter is to be delivered by hand by von Tarlenheim, but von Tarlenheim is betrayed by Bauer, his servant, and it is stolen by the exiled Rupert of Hentzau and his loyal cousin the Count of Luzau-Rischenheim. Queen Flavia, dutifully but unhappily married to her cousin Rudolf V, writes to her true love Rudolf Rassendyll. Most of the same characters recur: Rudolf Elphberg, the dissolute absolute monarch of Ruritania Rudolf Rassendyll, the English gentleman who had acted as his political decoy, being his distant cousin and lookalike Flavia, the princess, now queen Rupert of Hentzau, the dashing well-born villain Fritz von Tarlenheim, the loyal courtier Colonel Sapt, the King's bodyguard Lieutenant von Bernenstein, a loyal soldier.
