The snow-wind patriarch asks why the city lord hasn't arrived yet. He says that he will be presiding over the banquet on behalf of his son-in-law, who is from the Heavenly Marks family. The patriarch thinks that this is a joke, since the snow wind patriarch is the patriarch of a sacred family, which has protected the city for thousands of years. He also thinks that the patriarch has lost his standing in the eyes of the people, since no one has responded to his call to protect the city during the last demon beast attack. Now, he thinks, no one will trust him anymore. He wonders if the patriarch might still be able to cause trouble in the past, but now that no one trusts the patriarch anymore, he has to call an apology.
