The next morning, Yulan asks his father why he hasn't been eating dinner with him. He tells his father that he's decided to go back to the cold palace, where he almost died when he was a child. Yulan says that he has been trying to please his father, but his father is always indifferent. He says that his mother loves him very much, but that he would have killed her if he hadn't done what he'd done to her. He asks if she would think of what he has done to him if she knew that he had done it to her, and she says that she would have thought the same way if she didn't know that he was the descendant of the Snow Clan. He wants to give the snow to his father so that he can take back the title of princess. When Yulan's father leaves, he tells Yulan that he doesn't want him to worry about him destroying the country anymore. He also tells him that if he feels that it would be too difficult for him to handle the situation, he can go to the snow for him and ask why his father would do such a thing to him.
