I get the feeling she won't directly say it's the Crown Prince, but allude by saying "some psychotic killer in the Royal family"and ML is going to go on some secret mission to off every member of the Royal family he thinks fits the description (oblivious to this description being about him). Meanwhile, Duke Daddykins will be more sure than ever that ML should definitely be crossed off the candidates list.
OR
She'll tell him and be Absolutely horrified. ML will be somewhat irritated but ask her why she's so terrified of possibly becoming the next Queen. Like, "What is so terrible about being married to the Crown Prince? You'd have power and riches!" and she'll talk about why she is so terrified, and how she just wants to live her life quietly and freely. This just makes ML admire her even more because he thinks she's being humble.
He'll mentally make notes on how to make her feel less scared while mentally applauding his teacher. 'I get it now,you've entrusted Your treasured daughter to me.I'll definitely take over the throne and make sure nothing can hurt or scare her'. Then, daddy conflict begins.
