In the middle of the military camp, the prince asks his sister why she is taking him there. He tells her that he used to visit her often when she was a child, and that she is now catching up with the prince. The prince tells his sister that he is having a good day at the shooting range and that seeing the prince on his horse has made him want to ride. He is sorry that his horse is shy, but he says that it was his fault that he frightened her. His father tells him that the prince's friend, the son of the old king, is also at the camp. He says that the young man reminds him of the former king, and he hopes that the two will catch up on their love for each other. He also tells his father that the princess is going to a banquet next month. He asks his father if he knows of any land prices in the city. He explains that he wants to open a small store, but that the girl he is planning to marry has just bought a "brick red color rouge" from a man who is the same man who rejected him at the lantern festival two weeks ago. He adds that the man is not embarrassed by his rejection of the man because the man bought the color for a girl he plans to marry.
