The new lord of the city declares that he will sacrifice everything to help the city prosper. He also announces that the treasury will be opened the next day and that everyone will be exempt from taxes for a year. He tells his brothers to follow him to the city. The brother of the new lord asks if he is seeking refuge from the city's new lord. He replies that he is not seeking refuge. He says that it is easier to be a bandit than a lord. The other brother tells him that the woman is waiting for him at the hall. The man says that he has heard that two factions allied with the city were captured. He asks the woman if she wants to become his slave as well. She replies that she will take care of him. The old man says he will not force the woman to join him. He is sure that he can win the game.
