When Cinder goes to the Market to sell repairs for androids, Prince Kai comes up to her asking for Cinder to repair his android. Cinder doesn't know it's him, because she's looking down into a bucket with spare parts. When she looks up, she realizes it's the Prince and automatically gets embarrassed for how rude she was being, thus starts to stutter and mumble. Prince Kai waves it off easily, but she's still embarrassed about her behavior.
The cause of this scenario in the first place is because Prince Kai came up to her nearly abandoned booth with a question. Cinder had no idea that he was the Prince, thus she used her typical snarky tone of voice on him to. When Cinder looked up at him, she realized he was the Prince and immediately began apologizing and being embarrassed, but Prince Kai just waves off her attempts with a wave of his hand and an easy smile.
Cinder thought she was braking the law by not bowing to him, which is another part of the effect of her not looking up at him. This little "incident" sets the tone for the rest of the book, but it's more like a back drop to the real story, which is focusing on a politics of her country, and a disease that's plaguing the country. All of the reasons why she got involved are because of this one thing. Because she wasn't looking up, she didn't notice turmoil that was starting across from her booth, at the Baker. The plague is starting to get to the market that she works in, and she's oblivious to it all because she was to wrapped up in her thoughts about "breaking the law".
Furthermore, this cause and effect aren't as big of a deal as Cinder make them out to be. This shows that the character over reacts easily, even though she may have the right to, seeing as he's the prince. If Cinder had calmed down, the entire situation would have been different.
