He noticed her worried expression and paused the long walk through the forest for a few minutes. "I truly understand you. Duties are mandatory but time-consuming and I can't imagine how frustrating this must feel for you as a human." He respectfully nodded his head, his eyes not giving away his frustration. How could they dare to treat her like an animal in a zoo? The poor girl was frightened. Frightened of her artificial cage and freedom at the same time. Every cell of his body was itching to wrap a hand around her brother's neck and tell him to leave. He needed her for himself, how else could he show her the life she deserved as his future Queen? He didn't attack her brother. He barely looked at him. He couldn't afford a confrontation...for now. 
"As the future Queen of my castle, you will no longer attend any lessons. As soon as the holy crown touches your head, you will be the one to instruct others", he said half-jokingly, half-serious. With a wry smile around his lips, he resumed their walk, furtively looking heavenwards to assure a safe trip.
