The news the kings messenger had for him was that the prince of Tamavilla Kingdom wants to marry Cho. Toby was devistated and new he had no chance to marry her even though he and she were deeply in love. Cho told her father she did not want to marry the prince but wanted to marry Toby. Her father gasped at these words, locked Cho up, threw Toby out of the castle, and placed gards outside.
