As Esteban returned back to the party, he had a smile on all through. For someone who has just been rejected by his mate on their first meet, one would think he will be upset, but the Prince seemed rather amused.
Kairo and Deverick watched him not understanding how the Prince's brain works. They had watched from a distance and heard the Prince's interaction with his mate and they were shocked when the girl rejected the Prince.
'How can she not like him? The prince has it all, the looks and charisma. What else did she seek for?' Deverick especially could not understand her reasons, and he was left heartbroken as he had wanted for the Prince to find his mate, and return home with her. That way he too can have some time to himself.
