The next morning, the prime minister's son-in-law tries to defend himself. He tells the king that the assassin tried to kill him the night before, but the king's men caught him and bound him. He says that the scar on the assassin's left eye is proof that he tried to stop the attack. The king asks if he would be happy if his daughter and the prince's rival got together, and the son in-law replies that the prince is old, alone, and so ashamed of his own reputation that he can't help rescuing his father. The prince asks the king to help him get a wife and give him some land so he can go back to a peaceful life. The prime minister says that marriage is the same as martial arts, and that this man is a virgin, and he knows how to practice it. The father in chief says that he's ready to kill the king, but his daughter reminds him of Mary Sue.
