Glad the Prince had a chance and confessed how he also had to put up a charade due to obligations to his family, living in loveless relationship.
Was expecting Prince will after all try to explain the situation and make Maria get together with Jou, but when Prince saw Jou running to Maria behind her and attempting to force himself on her just to push their relationship further risking to be FUCKING ERASED FROM EXISTENCE ?
Did NOT expect that.
He ain't a prince, he's a king.
