![]() ![]() Flik explains that Charlie tried hard to put off all the princesses, but the duke figured out what he was doing and sent him to the Midnight Sea, where he was captured by the Sorceress. The duke announces a party, and Tress finds Flik, one of the duke's servants. He announces that due to an unfortunate accident, he had to adopt his nephew Dirk as his heir. The duke and his family arrive, but his heir is clearly not Charlie. Tress sits on her porch, crying and regretting not having said more to Charlie before he left. A year after Charlie's departure, word arrives at Diggen's Point that the duke is returning with his wife, heir, and daughter-in-law. In the following months, Tress receives several cups and letters from Charlie, describing how he offended or grossed out various marriage candidates. Charlie is summoned by his father, and he gets on a ship with his family and departs. He promises to send her a cup at every stop, after he gets the resident princess to reject him. Charlie promises her that he won't marry any of the princesses, that he'll be so boring that none of them can stand him. Charlie finds her and speaks to her, and Tress says she wishes he didn't have to go marry someone else. She doesn't act out, but instead goes about her daily business, distracted by her thoughts of Charlie. Tress learns that Charlie is to be married off to a princess on a distant island. 6.4 Chapter 57: The Maligned Fashion Expert.4.7 Chapter 28: The Extra Good Listener.4.2 Chapter 23: The Assistant Cannonmaster. ![]()
