Two days later, the duke and his grandfather are staying at the duke's house. The duke asks Nu to take care of him while he is away. He tells her that he will reward her for her kindness when he returns. Nu tells the duke that she has escaped from a "leveled beast" and is now running into "trash" . She offers to take him to an inn to eat and drink, but the duke refuses, saying that he is going to the university to take an entrance exam. Nu says that the university will accept only 20 students, and the duke is confident that they will choose the best students. He says that he has been preparing for the exam for a long time, and he is determined to take the exam.
