Part 2: Page 125-179 Summary

He tries to pass what he feels are fair judgments for the people but Dios translates for him and each time it is completely different from what Teppic has decreed. A girl enters the chamber fighting the guards. The girl, named Ptraci, was one of the late king's handmaidens. She doesn't want to kill herself, which is the custom so that she can be his servant in the king's afterlife. Teppic decrees that she will be set free.

Teppic doesn't argue with Dios but tells him that he will go to bed and leaves Dios.
