The night-souls discuss the fight they've just had, and the fact that they're better fighters than they used to be. They also discuss the difficulty of becoming a lord among the night-scares, who are more likely to be "earls" than "royals." The duke says that he's heard of the "king of the night soul" and that he would have been a "viscount" at most if he had his own way. The duke thanks the girl for saving him from a big battle. He also says that before dixi proposed to him, the king promised him that she'd marry him, but that she left his family because she didn't want to be married to a "fiance" . He says that if he hadn't saved him, he'd have been married long ago.
