Edward sympathized with Ericka as she squirmed at some of the words heard in the court. To see dignitaries act in such an undignified manner could be a harsh experience for anyone. Even more so for someone like her who lived a sheltered life so far. He, at least, had been fortunate enough to acquaint himself with such behavior when traveling.
As an average man, he had always considered himself inferior to these nobles and ministers. It comforted him to see them act like his usual crowd did. He hated seeing Ericka in discomfort but some things can't be avoided. Not if he wished her to remain the Queen of Asterella.
