As the thousand-year-old powerhouse of the Producto System, Silk Star sees itself as the undisputed boss of the whole system!
The boss picked a fight with someone, looking down its nose at them, and unfortunately lost.
The victorious star declared: "Hey, send your crown prince over to marry into our family. Hurry up. Our princess likes him."
After much deliberation, Silk Star's court replied, "All right, then."
The people at court might be willing to swallow their pride, but some ambitious young people on Silk Star weren't keen to lose face. If the old folks couldn't handle things, no matter. They would. At this point, even if they had to cling to the aliens' legs, they could do that too...
