In this chapter, we learn that a group of feudal lords are planning to marry a young woman from a village called "gayly" . The young woman's father, the duke of the village, is a member of the twelfth- and sixteenth-century feudal lords, respectively. He is the husband of the young woman, and the wedding is to take place in his village. The duke tells his wife that her husband is a "good man" and that she can "fall for him" as long as she stays with him. He also tells her that the first-in command is different from other men because he does not try to "hide" his homosexuality and will not "mess up" with other women. He says that the women are "so open-minded" that they do not know how to handle men. He tells them that the governor of the prefecture has searched the whole of the city but has not found any clue as to the whereabouts of the kidnapped woman. He adds that the kidnapping took place in "the king's mountain" , a place that is known for robbery and kidnapping.
