In which the Prince and his sister Nekayah discourse on the vexations and responsibilities inherent in greatness, observing that power seldom shelters its possessors from disquiet or injustice, and that true happiness may be more readily found in humble privacy than in lofty dominion. Their conversation then turns to the institution of marriage, debating its propensity for both companionship and misery, and recognising the complexity of human experience which defies simple judgement or contentment.
