In this short scene, we learn that Caius Martius is a young man who has been captured by his master, the Count of Cuihuag, who is the owner of a castle in the mountains of central China. The Count tells him that he is an ordinary man, and that he should treat him with respect. The young man, however, does not take this to mean he is a woman, but rather that he has been tricked by the Count. He tells the Count to take back his body that the Count snuck up on him, and to make him regret it.
