This is gonna be weird defending the prince...but ima just gonna say the spolier:
Due to his particular bloodline, finding a "mate" for life is near impossible...Lidi was his "destined one" and she also felt the pull of attraction, for him it was once in a lifetime and the second he met her he knew she was the one and only. Royal flower is more than just "mate" thing, its also the only way to save his life as without a true "mate" and one with royal flower he would eventually go insane and die as he had also given up on sleeping with other women - and that chance encounter was his last visit to the ball. He had been looking for Delris with for the medicine which could make his "need " go away. He never even wanted to go to the masquerade balls....he was forced to as he hadn't been sleeping, and his magic started to go nuts. He never enjoyed them, he went a little loco because it is Lidi and suddenly all he wanted was her. Delris btw, already knew all that since she met Lidi - that Lidi couldn't escape her destiny hence super discount for medicine. Delris also knew how things would eventually turn out so she said as little as possible. Also Lidi, is kind of special - she easily slipped into Delris's barrier like a boss.
