Charles was surprised that it took her so long to respond to him. Though, perhaps she was taking a nap or something along those lines. Well, it didn't matter what she had been doing, it had given him enough time to calm down... Well maybe calm down was a stretch but at least Charles did not feel the need to throw anything anymore, which was a definite improvement. However, Charles had been working on packing and unpacking his bag for the last hour while he debated actually running away for a couple of days. While he didn't want to get punished, he refused to just stay by and get forced into some marriages. So what was the likelihood that he wouldn't get punished? Probably zero. If that was the case, Charles might as well try to hit a home run while trying to get his freedom back instead of half-assing it and failing.
So when he saw Maisie's text message, Charles decided to pack up the rest of his things. He proceeded to lock and then put a chair under his door, wanting to make it as hard as possible for anyone to bust in. Then he made his way to the window and climbed down it. If Maisie could do it, Charles figured that he could as well. Once on the ground, he searched around the castle until he was positive he found Maisie's room. At which point, he climbed up and knocked on the window.
