In this short scene, we learn that the emperor has decided to marry his sister-in-law, the princess, to a "pig crown prince" . This is bad news for the couple, because they were planning to finalize their marriage arrangements. The emperor is going to announce the marriage at the palace, and the couple is not going to be able to make it there. They are going to have to go on a "journey" for a few months to finalize the details of the marriage. The father is all, "I'm never going to let that fat--ss marry that fat ss!" . He tells his son that he's going to check on the military, and he'll let the soldiers know that an interim lieutenant is on his way soon. He's sad, but he wants to go anyway. He asks if he can get a "real hug" from his son, and his son says he can't, because he has to go to the military for a while. He doesn't know how long they'll be gone, but it's probably a month to a year. He wants to be with his son so he can train him to be a better soldier.
