This chapter opens with a soliloquy by a mage named Tetarigg. The mage explains that he has come to the kingdom to ask for help from a god who has scattered his power all over the world. He wants to ask the goddess Tearia to speak to the god. The problem, the mage says, is that the god is only able to speak with one entity at a time, and only when the two are married and on the throne can they speak to each other. He says that the only way to get help from this god is to get married and then take the throne. He also says that if the god has other people to talk to, then he can't get help. The only problem is that he must have willet, which means he has to have other people around him. He tells the squire that he is preparing to leave the house and that he will go back to the old one. He then asks the young woman why everyone is saying that she is leaving. The young woman says that she has personal reasons for leaving the house. She says that her brother, Willet, is already tired and will live a hard life if Willet returns to his old house. The girl promises to bring Willet all the clothes she gave him and sell them if he doesn't have enough money to buy them.
