- During the test to be a Royal Herbalist, Garak notes to Zen that all he need do as a prince is say the word, and Shirayuki would be given the position without any test whatsoever. Zen, displaying his understanding of Shirayuki's feelings, says that she would be angry with him if he pulled something like that, and probably leave the palace. Zen understands that Shirayuki wants to succeed or fail on her own merits.
- Izana chastises Mitsuhide and Kiki for allowing Zen to bring Shirayuki with him, saying that it was their job to watch the younger prince.

All Izana can do is walk off, complaining about impertinent mouths.
- Episode 17 of the anime, Raji's aide Sakaki comforting the distraught prince and encouraging him as well.Raji: Shirayuki is the only one who takes me seriously. She's always honest to, sometimes a little to honest. I haven't been able to reciprocate anything! She's done so much, but I couldn't even protect her in my own damn castle!Sakaki: There is still time. You underestimate yourself. Surly, there must be something only you can do for her. Wouldn't you agree?

- Izana, upon hearing that Shirayuki was granted the title "Friend of the Crown" in Tanbarun, starts laughing, then quickly assures Zen and Shirayuki that it's not his intention to poke fun, and that the title means that there is no longer any issue with Shirayuki and Zen openly acknowledging one another as friends.
- Raji's letter to Shirayuki. He accurately predicts that Sakaki will try to convince Shirayuki to return to Tanbarun, and encourages her to ignore that. He also states he feels they're better as friends, and that he bestowed the title "Friend of the Crown" on her as a shield to help keep her safe.
