Eris's outburst silenced the entire throne room.
Most of them were confused about why she would refuse such an honour while others were obviously furious that Eris had the audacity to refuse a gift that the king has given to her like this.
The prince himself also looked stunned by Eris's rejection, no doubt he had thought Eris would have leapt at the chance to marry him and not just reject him like that.
Needless to say, his reputation would definitely receive a hit after this. I could already hear some of the nobles whispering about whether Eris rejected him because of something he did where it slowly progressed into questioning whether he was sexually incapable.
The king raised his hand and the whispers in the audience hall quietened down.
"Hero Eris, I believe my son is a splendid young man with great prospects. He has never wronged you, has he?"
Eris tilted her head, "That may be true and he certainly has not."
