The chapter opens with a conversation between the young master and the princess. The young master tells the princess that he and her sister have fallen in love, but that they cannot get married because the dragonkeeper doesn't approve of the marriage. He also tells her that the general will never approve of them getting married because they're low-level fighters. The king of the day, the elder brother of the current king, has united the army and politics to lower the taxes, which has made the kingdom prosperous and strong.
