"Prince Adrien, how are you ?"  The princess asks.

           Princess Marinette Snow White shows her concern for him. She sees him cough and knows he must be rather ill.  

           "Do not worry, I will have you back to your usual self in no time," She says.

             The prince nods his head in approval at her words. He coughs, then groans. He hates being sick. It is so dull to be well under the weather.  He smiles despite everything.

                "Thanks, ever so much your majesty,"  Prince Adrien states.

              Soon he closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep, weary from both his sickness and the rough journey it took to get him here.

              The princess exits his room at once and goes to speak with the servants.  "Attention everyone," She announces.

            Everyone stops whatever he or she is doing to listen to the ruler's words. They know it must be important since she speaks so loudly to get their attention.

            "I want to make sure you all know that the Prince Adrien Agreste is not be bothered," The princess commands.

            A servant looks at her to see if she will carry on as she is not sure the orders are very clear to her.

         "I mean that he is not to be disturbed under any circumstances at all unless it is an emergency, is that understood?"  Princess Marinette Snow White asks.

         "Yes, your highness," A servant replies.

        "Very well, your majesty," Another servant says.

        "We got it loud and clear,"  The next servant answers.

        All the other servants agree that the princess orders to leave the prince alone are to be followed. This way the lad might rest and recover soon.  The last thing anyone wants is to cause trouble in the kingdom.
