Claude is afraid that if he touches Guest, he won't be able to suppress his emotions. As a prince and a husband, he has a responsibility to make Guest happy. Therefore, he tells himself, "My marriage to you is political. I have no intention of seeking affection from you."

He becomes very expressive with his love, giving gifts on ordinary days. His tone becomes soft and sweet. He is large in many ways, and because he loves Guest so much, he becomes quite persistent and intense.
