Bulat will be Ivan and the princess, he feeds him, they will go on. Night is falling. Bulat wants to stop, Ivan refuses, Bulat again says he should spend the night, Ivan refuses. The princess urges Ivan to listen to Bulat. They spend the night. Damask puts them to bed and stands in custody. Birds fly by, singing a song that Ivan's stepmother is preparing him a fur coat with a gold and silver star, with creeping and flying reptiles. Whoever wears this coat will be lost, and his wife will herd pigs. And whoever tells us will be made of stone. Bulat returns, there will be Ivan and the princess, he will feed him and go on.

Damask takes food from the servants and drops it on the floor. Bulat wants to sleep in Ivan's room. Ivan resists, Kirbitovna urges him to listen to Bulat. At night, the mother sends three idols to tear Ivan's head off and steal Kirbitovna. Damask rips three idols off their heads. He wants to remove blood from the floor, Ivan wakes up thinking Bulat wants to kill them. Ivan orders Bulat to be shackled and killed. Bulat asks for a prayer, and he talks about the birds that warned him about Ivan's mother. Bulat is stony. A year later, Ivan and Kirbitovna had a son. Ivan has a dream: Bulat asks him to take out his son's heart, anoint himself with it, then Bulat will come to life and his son will be alive.
