The third prince tells the princess that the prisoner looks like a "well-educated young man" from a "wealthy family" . The princess is shocked, because the prisoner is clearly her younger brother. She tells the prince to "look carefully" and not to "slap" the prisoner, who is dying. She says that she and the prisoner have known each other for many years, and that he looks exactly like her father. She asks the prince not to interfere in the affairs of the family, because it is none of her business. The prince says that he heard that the family was trying to "appease" the prisoners, but the princess says that if the family can't be appeased, then lock up whoever refuses to cooperate.
