Rosalind frowned when Alexander began to give her somewhat of a lecture on what it was like to be King, and what one had to do to be a good ruler. Sighing as he had finished. Clearly, he had even misunderstood her and his servants if he thought he was being questioned. [Color=Lightseagreen] "Please, do not give me a lecture on what it is to be a King. It's patronising to myself. You seem to forget...I know what it is like. I am a Princess, my father is a King! I know more than you think!" [/Color] Rosalind reminded him. [Color=Lightseagreen] "Yes, a ruler has to be respected. But respect goes both ways. A ruler has to respect his servants and people. Especially if they offer concerns about the Kingdom. It is rude to accuse them of being challenging...or not listening, when it is not the case. And as for fear...fear will ultimately drive everyone away. I have seen it happen before. It's unwise to cause everyone to fear a ruler. Fear will over-come anything else. And if there is a problem in the realm, your people will not come to you because they will fear you too much to say anything, that might be off help. They'll be too scared of voicing their concerns to their own leader, because of the fear embedded. [/Color] She knew this too well. Her people back home, were scared of her own father as he was strict and often accused people of questioning him, with a simple concern they had voiced. Whilst they turned to her mother instead, as she was the one they could talk to. But it was his choice, if he eventually wanted to chase everyone away with fear, because he was set on being harsh for a servant merely voicing a concern.

The Princess couldn't help but think about home, knowing that her parents would be worried about her once they'd learn what had happened here. It would have been safer, if she hadn't been here in the first place. But she couldn't change that. What had happened, happened.

The Guards had nodded at Alexander's request. [Color=Gold] "Of course your majesty, we'll dispatch guards to the gates at once." [/Color] The two leaders of the guards told the King. Giving orders to their fellow guards, to go stand guard by the gates to the castle. The guards set off in various directions to the gates that surrounded the castle.

It was a matter of time, before the Princess would realise what she was to Alexander. Whether it was good news...or bad news. That was just to be known. Whilst there was a connection and an attraction of sorts, there was no doubt they would butt heads with different views on things. But then again, so did her parents. But they somehow made their marriage work. Rosalind didn't think that she would be the chosen one, but fate had decided so. But his guests were curious whom would be his chosen Queen and Bride. Right now wasn't the time for any such big revelation. Not when things at the castle had to be cleaned up, after the chaos that ruined the ball. It would take a while before things would go back to normal, after this evening. At least, fully until the traitor would be punished for her crimes. Till then, everyone was still tense and worried about the entire situation.
