The monarchs and other royals, excluding the host king and queen were stunned by the crown prince's direct approach to the attached maiden. They expected him to at least respect the gentleman seated beside the lady by waiting until the end of the banquet before expressing his hostile takeover.
But in the eyes of the host emperor and his empress, they were amazed and impressed by their son's sudden interest in the pretty lady, who had a striking resemblance with the late princess of the Yarkush empire.
The empress always worried about her first son's approach to a lady. He was very picky and difficult to impress. He sought after a perfect woman even though there was no such thing as perfection.
But to see him openly lusting over a pretty lady was such a relief. And she didn't mind pleading or paying off the young man with the pretty lady to step down for her son.
