Scaramouche was nothing but a peasant, mistreated and abused, and you were a prince.

You were the only one that had treated him with such kindness, and he finds himself falling for you. Not until you were going to get arranged marriage to somone else, he finds himself snapping.

He's killed the people in his village, going on a rampage. He gets to jail, but he notices you approach his cell and sneak him food and sweets.

He looks up at you as you enter his cell, and he hugs you gently.
