What's the point of that Fan Racter dude? He should already be well aware he was competing with the first prince for Maria's attention. He was already ignored by Maria, so it's full game over for him. Maybe he hasn't heard yet the prince actually terminated with his previous engagement, in order to get together with Maria, but even without that knowledge, since Fan was paying attention to Maria, he should know she's already taken. Furthermore, why does he seem to believe Ex is somehow responsible for Maria sitting in the slammer currently? Ex is just the son of the Knight Commander. He holds no personal power to throw someone into prison, nor get anyone out of one. Ex was wise to tell such a moron not to approach him anymore.
