A young nobleman visits him and ask to marry a slave girl, but Kull is advised that this is impossible under an ancient law, engraved on a tablet crafted by hallowed lawmakers many centuries ago.
That night, the conspirators - four leaders and sixteen robbers - sneak into the palace and enter Kull's private chambers.
Seizing an antique battle axe, which had hung on the wall for decades, he fights furiously, one against many, killing a large portion of the attackers.
In the nick of time, the young noble arrives with his retainers, killing the assassin and saving Kull's life.
Though severely wounded, Kull is determined to reward fittingly the young lovers who saved his life.
