The Eighth Prince, who had been serving at the monastery of the abbot, died on the twentieth of the Eighth Month. The shutters facing the mountain were raised and the princess, lost in their own sad thoughts, was looking up at the moon in the early morning sky. Then a messenger arrived and reported to them that the Prince had passed away in the night. The sound of the monastery bell came across the surface of the clear water. The princesses were struck by a strong sense of loss.
