"Princess Rapunzel, I have a favor to ask of you." I lower my head.

"Adira, you don't have to keep calling me that. Of course, I'll help you." Rapunzel smiles.

I let out a breath. 

"It's about... Hector." I say.

"Hector? What's wrong with him?" She looks at me. 

"He's acting strangely. More so than usual. After Zhan Tiri's defeat, he's been... more unusual." I say.

"Adira has got a point." King Edmund enters the room.

I do a quick bow. 

"He's more tense than a crocodile with his jaws locked." King Edmund says.

We look at him confused.

"That doesn't make sense, does it?" King Edmund asks.

"I'm afraid so." I say.

"It was a nice effort." Rapunzel smiles.

"I shall try to do better." King Edmund says.

"Good idea." Rapunzel says. 

"Rapunzel can you keep an eye on Hector?" I ask turning.

"Of course, Adira. I'm sure whatever is going on with him is mostly nothing." Rapunzel says.

"He's our brother, if he's in distress, we should know about it." King Edmund says.

"Yes Edmund." Rapunzel says.

"Now be careful Rapunzel, Hector is a hard one to follow." I say.
