Charles (PM4)

Charles is one of your daughter potential love interests, and the first that she will meet through an event. In order for your daughter to marry him, she not only needs to meet certain stat requirements, but she also needs to trigger various events. Completing his route is necessary both for the Human Princess ending and the True Heroine ending (available in the PC version of the game).

Note that your daughter can only encounter Charles once a month, so it is important to space out her visits to town instead of leaving them all to the end. However, you will trigger the final event (Prince at the Ball) once your daughter has a high enough trust score with Charles, and at this point more events with Charles will not be triggered. This means that if you want some of the later CGs, you need to keep Charles trust score low enough to not have triggered the final event.

Stat requirements for Charles marriage ending:
Knowledge: 450+
Charm: 500+
Pride: 450+
Moral: 500+
Refinement: 700+
Temperament: 450+
Demon points: less than 99
Trust for Charles: 75+

Information for this page overwhelmingly comes from the Princess Maker 4 Facebook: Charles Event Guide page. Many thanks to Xenya for giving me permission to use the information on this page. I have kept the names of the events the same so that people can refer between the pages if they wish.
