Now that the two of them are allies, it's time for Dongchang to tell the princess about the sacrifice ceremony. He tells her that the empress's guards are planning to attack her during the ceremony, and that he's going to take care of it. First, she needs to know that the whole thing is a complete accident. He says that he went to find her treasure in the purification room and that she's not angry. He also says that when he got back to the palace, he didn't realize that they would get along so well. It's all his fault, he says, because he had an "injury" that day when his dog had indigestion. He's got nothing to say, so he'll find a way for her to make things up. He doesn't want to let her go lightly. He wants her to tell him what she wants to do. She'll move back to her chamber and wait on her for three months. He asks if she really wants to be his maid, and she says that she promised to do anything for him. She also asks if he really thinks that they're going to get along.
