The clans sent over young maidens, all in their prime. The youngest was fifteen, having just reached womanhood, while the oldest was seventeen, blooming in beauty. All four were considered exceptional beauties of their respective clans, including both legitimate daughters and those born of concubines.

"Let them in!"
"Send them away!"
