In this chapter, Shuyu tells the captain of the shuli that he wants to test the beauty of the princess of the southland. The captain blames Shuyu for the leak, but Shuyu points out that Shuyu was the one who leaked the information. Shuyu says that the princess will be his blind vote in the upcoming war, and that he'll be able to tell which of the two is better. He's also worried that the royal fleet will arrive soon, and he's worried that people will scatter away from the royal palace. He asks the bartender to serve him a glass of liquor, and the bartender agrees. The princess asks the doctor to come and check on her wound. The doctor says that she's fine, but there are some shards of glass in her wound, so she'll have to wait for the doctor's opinion
