The next morning, Roxane is worried about her brother's health. He has been seriously wounded in battle, and she has arranged for a doctor to take care of him. She is worried that if he dies, she will not be able to pay for the doctor's services. She also worries about the dust on his neck. Roxane tells Roxane that she has received a message saying that her brother is leading an army into the battlefield. She tells him that her father and uncle have been discussing military matters in the morning, and that they have been busy all day. She says that she would better come later, when they are talking about military matters, so that she can stop Roxane from going into battle. She wants to see Roxane, but Roxane says that he and his brother are not at home. She asks Roxane to send all the guards to the battlefield to get her back.
