He turned to the balcony, just in time to see Laina and Margaret looking right in his direction. The Crown Princess and handmaid had been eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time.
As soon as they were caught, they pretended to look elsewhere, until Florin called to speak to Laina. The Crown Princess was not expecting Florin to want to speak to her, so she was curious to know what it was about.
"What is it, Prince Florin?" Laina asked as she and Margaret casually returned to the table.
"I have made my decision," Florin reinstated.
"And what might that be?"
Florin got out of his seat and got down on one knee.
"Prince Florin, what are you doing?" Laina gasped in shock.
Laina tried to get him up on his feet but Florin refused to do so..
"Whatever you wish to ask, speak your mind. But you don't have to do this."
