There are many ways to make this match happen, Lucian just wants to beat Baron Heildart in public to tell clearly that the nobleman must respect Alexandra and no one can't do it, in fact he doesn't want to act like this. But he had to show that their mouths were dangerous mouths and deserved the consequences.
Moreover, he knew from the beginning that his arrival here would be targeted; the nobles considered that he was an easy target.
Involving the crown prince Shamus is the best way that Shamus can give permission and also not make Lucian suffer in the future, although it will not erase the arrogant attitude of the nobles, but make them think repeatedly in advance.
"Why do you say I'm not polite with the crown prince Shamus? It seems that it is difficult for the common people to know many things about the manners of the nobles."
