During supper, while speaking, the party members learned the females' identities, with the exception of Akira's relationship with Ashton.
They just knew she was the daughter of someone powerful in Japan. There is nothing else.
What startled them the most was Pearl's background. She turned out to be the first daughter of the United States of America and the niece of Stonasia's King and Queen.
This revelation piqued the interest of the idol members even more, and they were eager to get to know her better, much to the annoyance of Lady Crystal, who felt overshadowed by the attention Pearl was receiving.
Ava's mind was elsewhere the entire time they were eating supper, despite Ashton's efforts to engage her in conversation.
Despite his best efforts, she appeared indifferent every time she responded. Prince Edmund observed all of this, sat back, and enjoyed seeing Ashton make a fool of himself.
