As they ate, the princes didn't mock Mathias for a while, as the atmosphere changed when Mathias revealed an embarrassing thing about their fourth sister, Princess Stella.
Princess Stella seemed to be in a hurry, eating her food elegantly but acting a bit embarrassed and rushed.
Seeing this, Mathias saw an opportunity to gain "simp points" - a term that refers to a person who excessively or overly admires someone, often with romantic or s****l undertones.
Without the king's presence, Mathias wasn't afraid to openly express his admiration for Princess Stella.
"Fourth sister shouldn't be too embarrassed," Mathias said, looking at Princess Stella with an approving gaze. "It's not good for a beautiful young lady to act so distressed."

Everyone in the room was stunned by Mathias's sudden display of affection.
Princess Stacy was also shocked, as Mathias usually wore an indifferent and emotionless expression. Prince Ren and Prince Lance both frowned and looked at Mathias with furious faces.
"Don't go too far, Mathias," Prince Lance said coldly. "Although I don't know where you get the guts to retort now, but I will say this: you are forever trash." He didn't even refer to Mathias as "Prince."
"You're really interesting," Prince Ren added, with a hint of rage in his voice.
But Mathias ignored them and continued to try to win Princess Stella's affection. "Fourth sister, don't be so distressed. And don't frown too much! Look! It's ruining your beauty!" he said kindly.

Princess Stella gritted her teeth and Prince Lance and Prince Ren felt humiliated by Mathias's disregard for them.
Princess Stacy, meanwhile, saw Mathias in a new light.
