Lui's father summons him home for a ball introducing him to a nobleman's daughter, a match his father desires. Despite friends' objections, Lui agrees to the arrangement. During the engagement party, the king's elder brother appears briefly before departing. Shortly after, an explosive device detonates, and Orphe saves Lui from the blast. Having successfully created tension among his family's rivals through the prospect of this advantageous political marriage, Lui cancels the union. The incident concludes with Lui securing his strategic objective while avoiding the actual wedding, leaving the political landscape altered by the near-tragedy and his deliberate maneuvering.
