The next morning, the Governess scolds her son for being so obsessed with power and calculations. She tells him that he has been lonely since he was a child and that as a hostage in the kingdom, he has to be cautious in his dealings with other people. The Governess tells her son that he is about to become a king and that he should care for and respect others. He is rude since he is not his father's son. He tells her that when temple people take their food and money and exchange it outside the palace, they only use colorful strings to exchange money. He scolds his son for using the money he earned to buy roast chickens and supplies for the poor. He apologizes for his behavior and says that he did not go too far when he went too far. He says that if he does not obey orders, he will have to punish her.
