The next morning, the Governess tells Shao that she has slipped into the pond and that she is grateful to him for his kindness. She invites Shao to go for a walk with some other men in the garden, and Shao agrees. Shao tells her that he has come to visit her the day before, but that he missed her. She tells him that if he is naughty, he will be taken away by the prince. He has killed 100,000 prisoners during the civil war, according to the legend. The Governess says that this is ridiculous, because there are only 500 prisoners in the entire war. If she had not killed them, there would be endless troubles.
