The next morning, the two young men discuss the situation in the empire. They are worried that the situation will get out of hand and that the people will lose their faith in the emperor. They want to kill the "b-stard" , but the commander refuses to let them do so. The two men agree to meet again. The commander tells the young men that he has sent some troops to kill and loot the people of the spectral valley. The young men agree that this is a waste of the commander to be a "mere butler" . They also agree that the empire is still in the hands of the tianyus, and that it would be better for the commander not to make any trouble
