The fox tells his sister that the prince has been exhausted and is now a "bag of bones" . He tells her that he and her sister have a "whole new life" now that they are free from the cold palace. The princess and the prince are all well, and the chatterbox is gone. The fox asks the prince what he wants to tell him. The prince has pleaded with the emperor for permission to come, but there is no way he can forget about his second re-incarnated self. He asks the princess what the matter is with her. The emperor has ordered her not to disturb the prince before she fully recovers. She says that she will decline the prince's request if he does not want to see her. She tells the fox that she is so cute and sweet that she cannot believe that the same person killed an assassin before the emperor. She asks the fox if he can call her brother, and he says that he is now an elder brother. He says that a girl should not be more reserved. She should not praise people, especially boys, he says. He also says that if he had known this in his second reincarnation, he would not have been attracted to her.
