He'd managed to get away from Adriana after she shoved Ella away, pulling out his sword again. Others were nearby, that could help him in this fight... But, at the same time, they didn't want to get close. They didn't want to endanger their prince by giving the woman nothing to live for. "Give it up, assassin. I've won, you're cornered. You've already compounded your crimes by trying to kill my bride and trying to escape, I wouldn't recommend doing anything more. My father isn't a happy man when his laws are broken." His voice was strong and firm, even if his sword arm wasn't the best.

Moving himself between the assassin and Ella, it was clear she would be forced to attack him to get to the princess, if she had any intentions of not going down alone. His sword was extended before him threateningly, and he was waiting for the assassin to try the first attack.
