The third point of view :
The celebration was as boring as hell. Even though the mood was merry and there was lots of eating and drinking and dancing, Akim was not interested in any of them.
He had not talked to his parents after his fight with them and they didn't push him either. He was good with that. The last thing he wanted was to get reminded of the reason he was sneaking out of the palace in the first place - he should be leaving through the front door proudly, not through the back like a thief.
His sight moved to Jasmine who was as bored as him. Although dancers were showing off spectacular moves in the middle of the hall, she was not moved by the sight. She had seen all those before. Nothing was new. The palace wasn't new.
