The city lord tells the young man that the shen-kai clan is one of the most powerful clans in the city. The young man tells the city lord that he has never heard of this clan before, and that he will do his best to help him. He also tells him that he can ask for anything he needs. The lord thanks him and tells him to pay the bill for the food and drink since they have become friends. He then goes on to say that since he has become friends, he doesn't have to worry about paying the bill since he is free to ask him anytime. The man then says that the price of food and drinks is the same as the price for the wall, which is compensated for by the city's compensation for it. This is the total cost of the food, drinks, and the wall. He tells the man that he is going to go back to the empress, who is waiting for him at the pavilion. The empress asks him to go and meet her, since she has graced them with her presence. He says that since she is so beautiful, he will go to meet her. He asks if she will be there, and she says that she will. He wants to know what she thinks he will be doing there. She says that he should make it quick since the pavilion is the most expensive tavern in town. She then asks him if he thinks he is charming, and he says that now that they have finally met, he can say that she is charming indeed. He adds that he does not deserve his compliments, his highness. He thanks the man for being so high-class
