[DoktorSnope]

Charles stared as the bunny boy stuttered out that he was fine, shaking his head and continuing to talk. Despite the boys words Charles thought he seemed a bit shaken, like he was scared of something...or someone. The boy stopped talking abruptly and the tone of his voice changed when he began again. He was asking not to be turned away. Charles watched as ears lowered, which made him look even more forlorn and afraid then he already did. His interest was piqued when the boy said something about a forced marriage. "Ah, so this is one of those things." he said when Hana had finished speaking. He had heard of it before, princesses choosing to flee from their homeland and find a new life rather than face the wretched future of a marriage formed for money and power, not love. "Don't worry my dear Princess" Charles said reassuringly. "I won't let them take you, I completely understand the situation you're in."

"Though I am sure they will be coming here soon, to try and get into the castle. I will have to go and deter them. Stay here won't you?" he said with a smile and turned around and left the gazebo before Hana could utter another word. "I won't be long!" he yelled from somewhere within the maze as he headed towards the boundary's gate.
