On the first night of his exile, Mimuha wakes up in prison. He's angry that he's been made to feel like a second-class citizen in the eyes of the King. He tells his jailer that the King has promised to do something about the whole affair. Mimmuha says he'll do whatever he can to make sure that he doesn't have to leave the country. He also says that he won't stop talking about his love for the King, even if it means running away with Miss Knisle. Mihmuha says that this morning, the King made a promise to the King that if Mimha can prove that she's not the spy, she'll be allowed to marry the King's son. Mimukha says that's what the King meant, and that he wants to see if Mihm can prove it.
