I cannot swear to whatever Gods you have here to this, though I do not believe the boy intended the assassination.

Surely he is no assassin by intent, indeed by idiocy. This does not lessen his responsibility in my mind.

Initially, I thought it was a ruse to draw out the Prince. Perhaps he was placed and panicked to actually put you into this position?

Perhaps, if there is concern of his mistreatment... I would gladly supervise the arrangement to ensure both bided their terms.
