The doctor tells the king that his leg is not fully healed, but that he can walk for hours without pain. The king asks the doctor to touch him somewhere else, but the doctor refuses to do so, saying that he will not be able to control the situation much longer. He says that if the king does not return soon, the court will be in chaos and the generals will be busy fighting for power. He adds that the king is born a hero, and a life in seclusion does not suit him. He wants to be with the king, and he wants to witness how the king becomes a legendary ruler. From now on, he says, he will be the king's "spoiled consort," and he will wreak havoc in the palace.
