    Lear left the palace of his eldest daughter in anger. He sent Carls to his second daughter Regan, asking her to be ready for his coming. The eldest daughter Goneril also sent somebody to Regan, telling her not to allow all the followers the king brought with him to stay. The messenger was Goneril's steward. Hating his rudeness to the king and knowing his task there, Carls gave the steward a hard striking. When Regan and her husband knew the incident, they fettered Carls, though Carls should have received the best treatment as the king's messenger. So, when the king entered the palace of Regan, his first sight was his devoted servant Carls sitting there in disgrace.
    He wanted to speak to his daughter, but she intentionally avoided him. He was so angry that he insisted seeing her. Finally, his second daughter and son-in-law showed up slowly. His eldest daughter was there too. The old man saw them and his anger increased especially when he saw Regan holding Goneril's hands. He asked Goneril if she felt shameful and guilty on seeing an old man with white beards like him. Regan advised the king to return to her sister's palace, reduce his followers by half, apologize to Goneril, and live peacefully with her.
