This is like a severe case of "When Abe Lincoln got shot, it was a tragedy. When JFK got shot, it was a tragedy. When I got shot, it was Tuesday on my way home."
Good thinking with the last words of Sun and the broken spear in hand. Great imagery. If only more manga would go down the visual route of things instead of adapting the source with seemingly endless text bubbles.
Might be a translation error p.20 "prince" --> "princess" otherwise it doesn't make much sense in that context.
The princess is better than her, since there is no other prince to compare him too.
