372 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LATEIKAWAI LETH. ANN. 33 
Since Aiwohikupua thought Laieikawai must be from Moaulanui- 
akea, he determined to get her for his wife. For before he had heard 
all this story Aiwohikupua had vowed not to take any woman of 
these islands to wife; he said that he wanted a woman of Moaula- 
nulakea. 
The chiefs’ reception was ended and the accustomed ceremonies 
on the arrival of strangers performed. And soon after those days 
Aiwohikupua took Kauakahialii’s man to minister in his presence, 
thinking that this man would be the means to attain his desire. 
Therefore Aiwohikupua exalted this man to be head over all things, 
over all the chief’s land, over all the men, chiefs, and common people, 
as his high counsellor. 
As this man became great, jealous grew the former favorites of 
Aiwohikupua, but this was nothing to the chief.
