In this chapter, we learn that ai is the daughter of King sei, who suppressed the rebellion of the Dougen people in the nineteenth century. Ai's father is the king of the island of Ae, and he is the son of King Si, who is also her father. Ae's mother is also a princess, and she has come to visit her daughter. She tells Ai that she is free to roam the streets all day, and that she can't wait to hear her new songs. She also tells Ae that even if her head tells her not to do something, she should do it anyway, because it's the purest thing in the world.
