t at the chief's wish. Laielohelohe did not love
Kaonohiokala, for the princess did not wish to commit sin with the great
chief from the heavens, but to satisfy her guardian's greed.

After perhaps ten days of these evil doings, Kaonohiokala returned
above.

Then Laielohelohe's love for Kekalukaluokewa waxed and grew because she
had fallen into sin with Kaonohiokala.

One day in the evening Laielohelohe said to Kapukaihaoa, "My good guard
and protector, I am sorry for my sin with Kaonohiokala, and love grows
within me for Kekalukaluokewa, my husband; good and happy has been our
life together, and I sinned not by my own wish, but through your wish
alone. What harm had you refused? I referred the matter to you because
of your binding me not to keep companionship with anyone; I thought you

again and sin with her against her wish; so she fled to the country
people's houses, but he did not come until that night when she had left
and was out at sea.

When she sailed, she came to Oahu and stayed in the country people's
houses. So she journeyed until her meeting with Kekalukaluokewa.

About the time that Laielohelohe was come to Oahu, that next day
Kaonohiokala came again to visit Laielohelohe; but on his arrival, no
Laielohelohe at the chief's house; he did not question the guard for
fear of his suspecting his sin with Laielohelohe. Now Laielohelohe had
secretly told the guard of the chief's house why she was going. And
failing in his desires he returned above.

The report of his lord's falling into sin had reached the ears of the
chief through some of h
