Then the seer called out to Aiwohikupua, "Your keepers are not guilty; not by their means was I freed from prison, but by my god, who has saved me from many perils; and this is my lord.
"I spoke truly; this is my daughter, my lord, whom I went to seek, my preserver."
And when Aiwohikupua looked upon Laieikawai his heart trembled, and he fell to the ground as if dead.
When the chief recovered he commanded his head man to bring the seer and his daughter to fill the place of Poliahu and Hinaikamalama.
The head man went and called out to the seer on the canoe and told him the chief's word.
When the seer heard it he said to the head man, "Return and tell the chief, my lord indeed, that my lordly daughter shall never become his wife; she is chief over all the islands."
The head man went away; the seer, too, went away with his daughters, nor was he seen again after that at Wailua; they returned and dwelt at Honopuwaiakua.

Laieikawai, and of her return.
After Kahalaomapuana had laid her commands upon her sisters she made preparation for the journey.
