The final boss is probably Juliet's father. Let's not forget she's been pushing herself very hard to be a fitting heir, because females are looked down on as successors in the West. Now she's publicly dating a Touwan? Things are going to get interesting (of course, our heroes will convince him in the end, probably appealing to his past relationship and the fact that Romio is his first girlfriend's son).
