The prince tells the highnesses that they don't need to worry if the boy runs away. He has other ways of killing the same way. The prince says that he doesn't want to be worried about the boy running away, so he's going to kill him in the middle of the night. He tells the guards to protect the girl, or he'll torture her in the palace. The guards say that they can't harm the girl because she's a member of the royal family, and that's it. The boy says that his father is the one who killed him. He's just a civilian, and he deserves to be punished. The highness says that the prince is his father, and the boy is just a "civilian," and he should be punished for offing his father. He says that if the prince had killed him, he would have been punished by death, but now that he has killed the enemy, he can kill anyone he wants. The girl says that her father deserves to die, too, and she begs the boy to stop staring at her and think about what he should do next. He promises that if he can get the position of commander of imperial guds when he comes back, he will bring him a present. The river god is going to "flatten the island" by magic, he says. The island will be flattened in half a month.
