In this chapter, Aquila explains how a noble can get rid of an unwanted child by pretending to be "clean" by having sex with another man's child. He then goes on to explain that it is important to look into the background of a potential suitor, especially if the suitor is already married and has passed on the "mana" . He says that he has seen cases when a woman goes nuts when she starts a new relationship, but she usually does not change a person's character. He wonders what kind of person he is, and wonders if she is jealous of him. She says that she is so happy, and that he is not as handsome as she thinks he is. She goes to sniff the scent of mana, which she believes to be that of another man, and then she will reveal her true nature.
