The Egyptian king and his son discuss the fate of the seventeen-year-old princess of the Hittite Empire. The king wants her to marry him, but she refuses, saying that she wants to be with her son. The father says that he will not force his son to marry her, but he will make her his concubine. He tells her that he cannot go back to the empire because she has brought shame to it. He orders the servants to take her out of the country. He says that if she gives birth to his child, the empire will be even more humiliated.
