When His Majesty announces a search for a male consort that may summon all males under eighteen, Mr. Calud realizes he fits the criteria and panics. His Grace arrives at Mr. Calud's home on business and is received as requested. Mr. Calud pleads inwardly, then, flustered during their meeting, admits hunger and nervously lists roast chicken, duck, beef and other dishes. Embarrassed, he calls himself a glutton with no skills. The visit exposes his vulnerability rather than resolving selection; the episode ends with Mr. Calud's fate—whether he'll be summoned to the palace—still hanging.
