Lakan must now choose a courtesan to buy out. As a high-ranking military official, he can afford to freely choose, even from one of the Three Princesses. Who will he choose? Who does Maomao really want him to choose?
I wonder if he understood the message 
behind the withered rose?
أتساءل ما إن فهم الرّسالة المُبطّنة
خلف الوردة الذّابلة
Ob er verstanden hat, was ihm
die getrocknete Rose sagen sollte?
Espero que captara el mensaje
de la rosa seca.
Espero que captara el mensaje
de la rosa seca.
Je me demande s’il aura saisi
la métaphore de la rose.
Quell'uomo avrà capito
il significato della rosa essiccata?
Será que ele entendeu o significado
por trás da rosa murcha?
Интересно, он понял,
что означала та завядшая роза?
