In this chapter, we learn that the alchemist , named mikhailmeyer, is an alchemist who makes a protein, a substance that acts as a kind of glue. The card that he uses to make the protein is symbolized by the four cups, which represent self, self-absorption, and unawareness of others' feelings. He uses this card to kidnap a princess and bring her to his castle so that he can make her happy. The princess, however, does not want to marry him, and so he uses a jester to make her smile. When the jester does not make the princess happy, the princess loses interest in him. .
