Ina asks Wend if he thinks Karla will marry Erwin, Wend hopes she does and comments that he could force her if he wanted to by having her mother enter his household, but this is something he doesn't care to do. The ship arrives and Erwin is stunned when Karla introduces her husband, who resembles Erwin.

Numerous nobles have sent their sons and daughters hoping they will marry someone from Wends camp that way they will have a connection to Wend. Amadeus has forced Burkhart to attend and has also sent people from his household to find wives or husbands so him and Wend have split the costs.
