姫君の(ひめぎみの)侍女である阿漕(あこぎ)からの相談(そうだん)

Akogi thought, 'I want to rescue the princess from this room and make her happy,' and consulted 'Ukon no Shosho,' a young, talented, and noble aristocrat working at court, about the princess's beauty and tragic plight. Becoming interested, the Shosho sneaked into the Ochikubo room behind the stepmother's back and met the princess. He instantly fell in love with her noble and beautiful figure.
