He went back to his place after she fell sleep.
After getting back to palace his room he became as prince because he is acting as young prince to find traitors who are trying to assinat him and came accross the bullies in palace and while he is trying to save himself and tried to beat them up the bullies Salyha came at that time and saved him and he thought it is her plan that she arranged bullies and save him to act as she saved him and stayed at the place where she left him and acted as kid who don't know what to do and get back at her by finding that she plotted. But she didn't do anything and let him sleep him her place and then he thought he should discover her plotes and arrest her.

As she is from modern land from previous life she gave him answers accordingly. As she came for palace selection they gave them etiquette lessons to all the candidates after class she would meet him at kitchen exit place and thought he is the young prince who is neglected in palace as she read the story there is no young prince and thought him as son of a maid due to mistake he got born. But she didn't know that he is the prince himself as system didn't mention her because she didn't gave points to system.
