In this chapter, we learn that the Governess has taken an exam on the subject of the other side of the world. She has successfully answered all of the questions. The Governess tells her tutor, lissa, that since the humans defeated the Dougens in the war, the land has been ruled by the King of the U.S. Since then, she has been wearing backless tops. She asks lissa to fasten her dress so that she can show off her wings, but lissa refuses to help her. She tells her that she will have to play rugby with rawhide to prove her wings are real, but she refuses to reveal them to anyone.
