The emperor of Blefuscu is kind, as he grants Gulliver supplies to outfit the ship that Gulliver has found. In addition, the emperor refuses to send Gulliver back to Lilliput, though the Lilliputians demand that the emperor do so, so that he can properly thank Gulliver for making peace between Lilliput and Blefuscu. The emperor of Blefuscu promises Gulliver protection, and he is sincere about granting it. However, when Gulliver decides that he would rather leave Blefuscu, the emperor agrees to Gulliver's wishes, showing that the emperor is gracious and beneficent. In fact, the emperor gives Gulliver fifty purses filled with money. While the emperor is giving towards Gulliver, the emperor nonetheless insists on ceremony and the trappings of a traditional monarch. Gulliver has to lie down to kiss the emperor's face, and the emperor gives Gulliver a full-length picture of himself when Gulliver leaves Blefuscu.
