Gerah, now fully settled in her unexpected life as the side princess, is invited to dine with the royal family for the first time. Determined to stay unnoticed, she practices her etiquette—only to end up seated right next to Prince Xavier. The atmosphere is tense when Mara enters in a lavish gown, clearly aiming to impress the prince.
As the meal progresses, Gerah accidentally causes a minor scene when she mixes up the royal silverware. Everyone laughs, but Xavier surprisingly helps her correct it—causing Mara to grit her teeth in frustration. Meanwhile, Dahlia, serving food in the background, quietly watches with concern, catching the eye of Jiru.
The evening ends awkwardly for Gerah, but something shifts—Prince Xavier looks at her not with mockery, but with interest.
