The family curses wolfgar for marrying a foreigner and then curses regine for marrying "a treacherous prince" . They should have known that kitten was the only hope of reviving the family. The family tells wolfgar to take Priscilla to the garden, but he refuses, saying that he has been a fool. He says that he did everything the family asked of him, stayed in kingdoms, and married nobility, but that it was still not enough. He is glad that regine had a daughter, like prisyscilla, who is "good and decent" and a "better person" than either of them could have been. He promises to ship the family's luggage back to Teufelburg. He tells the family that they can kiss their inheritance "wham" if they wish. The party is over, and the party is timed to last for two days. He blames balthazar for not giving him the time to have a private conversation with priscilla. She kept telling him that she was not in love with him, and he believed her. He asks why she didn't tell him sooner, and she says that she is "embarrassed enough already" for him to have to listen to her
