In this chapter, we learn that the princess is too strong to fight, but that her daughter also possesses the ability to "switch" between her dark and light selves. The two of them decide to fight anyway, since the king and the lady of Mings are on their way back from the battle. The princess tries to stop the fighting, but taowu tells her that she can't stop the power of her daughter. He tells her to stop, but she refuses to listen to him, saying that she doesn't want to fight. Worried that he's losing, she tells him to go back and protect the castle. She also tells him that she's afraid she'll lose herself if he keeps fighting with her dark self. He says that he can help her, and even take away her dark personality.
