In this chapter, the "princess of time" explains to the "magician" why she is still imprisoned in the palace. She explains that she is locked up because she is too strong for Frederick, who is afraid of a stronger magician than him. The "magicion" explains that he has come across a book that describes a world that is progressing in accordance with what is written in the book. Since he is a magician, he has tried to use this knowledge to prophesize the progress of the world. He says that he will try to do this on the princess, who has lost her earring.
