"Now if only I knew what married couples did. I don't remember how my father was towards my mother and the situation with my cousin isn't exactly a normal marriage." Only Will could make this situation sound like it was perfectly normal. He then smiles slightly and looks over at her. "We could always just guess and see how that works."
He shakes his head a bit at what she says and sighs. "No, I can understand why they would use my birth name. It's safer for them to have me be the missing son of an earl from a distant kingdom than a bandit fighting against a corrupt prince. They do tend to forget that I was missing because I was wanted for murder, but that's nothing that can't be erased." There's a hint of bitterness in his tone and from the way he speaks, it appears that he has some familiarity with the topic. "It's just very political. I'm sure if there's unrest towards the crown, they will start referring to me as Will Scarlet so that they can twist the opinions of the populace. But it does not matter as long as you refer to me by the name that I wish to be called, Charlotte. The others are not important in the long run."
