Tonight was probably part of their plan too. Was Jameson using her to set a honeytrap and having the princess save the hero?

Did they think that he was dumb or that he wouldn’t be able to resist women?

Even if he were a pervert who was overwhelmed by his emotions, his inner devil would become an angel just by looking at her face.
