The angel tells the story of how he came to be a man. He explains that he learned how to fight with a sword. He tells the angel that the kingdom is divided into two parts: the Protectorate, which is bordered by the enemy territory of the King, and the new Protectorate. The Protectorate is a protected territory, which means that the King does not have to pay any tribute to the people. He also says that there is no justice in the world because there are no basic laws. The angel asks the angel about the peasants. He says that they do not speak the same language as the King. He adds that the peasants do not have the same level of education as he does. He then asks about the princess, asking the angel if she is innocent and sincere. The Angel says that he cannot bring himself to do such a thing, as he is a man and he has to go through the city gates to get to the palace. He wonders if he would be able to go and see the princess if he paid for a sigil, which would allow him to enter the city without having to get permission from the city guards. He thinks about how he used to be blind, and how some adults in his family had their eyes taken by god to restore their eyesight, but they also took something away from him. He imagines that the princess would be happy to keep his mouth shut to some stranger, but that he would never marry her because he would not want to reveal his own fate. The King has a duty to protect the people, he says, because he has the highest rank in the kingdom. He asks how he would tell his wife and children that their parents died because of his selfishness. He feels that this is his fate, traded for, and secured by his affluent liar
