When Umi sat upon the throne, Kaoleioku was made district chief of Hamakua, and the adopted sons34 became Umi’s courtiers and warriors. Akahiakuleana was sent for to come and reside at the royal court. Akahiakuleana begat children after Umi by the husband of her bosom. Umi-a-Liloa, however, kept the daughter of King Hakau. Pinea was the name of the girl, and she was so named by Hakau after his mother Pinea.35 Umi-a-Liloa kept her that the royal blood might be preserved36 pure and not diminished. Umi-a-Liloa took to wife Kapukini, the daughter of his father Liloa, who was his half sister. Royal children were born of Kapukini who were Keliiokaloa, Kapulani, and Keawenuiaumi.
