What Clarissa said was actually right. A king needed his people just as the people needed their king. That was why things and been going wrong in his kingdom without him being aware.
Leonard was very proud of Clarissa. She was trying to indeed act as her father would.
Back at Haven's Peak, the guards and some of the sisters of light usually stayed at certain positions to ensure the safety of the kingdom while there was a party ongoing. King Gabriel had always made sure to invite the entire kingdom. He valued each and every one of his subjects and made sure to show them that.
Kieran agreed with Clarissa as well and it made him proud that she had also considered how this would favour him. "I'll take your advice. It's time the people met their king. Those in Shadow's Kiss can return with the help of guards and those in the other kingdoms can spend a night and then those guards can escort them to their kingdoms the very next day."
