In this chapter, we learn that the second master of the Ming family, Captain Zhang, has been accused of stealing the bow of his friend, Young Master hui. Zhang is furious at the idea that his friend might have stolen his bow, and he demands to know how it came to be that it was given to him. When the captain is questioned about his identity, he is told that he does not have the authority to do anything, and that it is on him to protect his friend. The princess of the saint-oulanka empire, who is also a member of Zhang's family, is furious with the captain, and she demands that the captain be locked up immediately.
