Persuasion can not reach the king that worketh against Har-hat.
"I shall speak with her," Har-hat responded, "and give thee her word." For a moment the prince contemplated the fan-bearer, then he turned without a word and strode out of the chamber.

Except the groom, the charioteer, and the shield-bearers, they were in the early times almost invariably eunuchs; but the later kings seem to have preferred eunuchs for the offices of parasol-bearer and fan-bearer only.
And when he looked at her, and considered her courageous behavior and her sensible words, he realized that she was a girl of heroic cast, and they agreed to marry and make their escape from the city in secret. The fan-bearer put on men's clothes, and they mounted horses and rode away. They had determined to go to Taiyuanfu. On the following day they stopped at an inn.
At sight of his enemy, the king put Kenkenes between him and the fan-bearer. At sight of Kenkenes, Har-hat stopped in his tracks.
