The next morning, the doctor tells the group that the ninth prince, who served in the northwest during the war, is dying. The imperial doctors cannot cure him, so they're looking for highly skilled doctors in the state. The doctor tells them that they've spread the news about the prince's death to everyone in the city. They've also posted a notice asking everyone to leave the palace tonight and to ask the men to look for the princess to come back. When the doctor asks why the prince is so weak, the girl tells him that she's been having a crush on him since she was nine. He tells her that he'll wait until she agrees to marry him.
