All Charles offered her was a shrug as she explained why the door hadn't closed properly. It did explain it. In his experience, he found the only time he wasn't being watched when he was alone in his room. Otherwise, anywhere he went, people had eyes on him. There were many reasons for it, of course, but it was still nice to get that time where it was just him and he wasn't expected to put on a show for anyone. He probably shouldn't have peered in at all, but the truth was Charles was too curious.
For a moment, Charles grew quiet as the princess offered to lead him towards the dining hall. He was tempted to turn down her offer. It almost seemed better to get lost than to encourage their parents by walking in together but... well Charles was hungry and he didn't actually want to get lost in the castle. So, he gave her a small nod. "I will wait then. Thank you."
