KING OF DARK CHAMBER

Minister

I shall arrange everything as you wish, Your Highness.

King of Kanya Kubja

Let it be kept a secret that she is my daughter; otherwise we shall all be in an awful trouble.

Minister

King of Kanya Kubja

When woman swerves from the right path, then she appears fraught with the direst calamity. You do not know with what deadly fear this daughter of mine has inspired me—she is coming to my home laden with peril and danger.
