However, Queen Annabelle, yearning for his attention, attempted to capture his focus.
One early morning, Queen Annabelle woke up without finding Philip by her side. Concerned, she went to the boardroom where he had called for an early meeting in the castle. Anxious to talk to him, she asked if she could speak with him. But before Philip could say anything, Annabelle yelled out, "Now!"
Recognizing the urgency in her voice, Philip stepped out of the room and asked her what was troubling her. Annabelle demanded to know where he had been. Philip, slightly annoyed, replied that he had been working, asi have a kingdom to rule.
Feeling overwhelmed, Annabelle broke down in tears. Philip immediately called off the meeting and took Annabelle to his chamber in the castle,
As Philip escorted Annabelle to his chamber, liam walked into the castle Philip exchanged a glance with Liam, their eyes briefly meeting. Once inside, Philip addressed Annabelle, apologizing for his busyness. Still tearful, Annabelle listened as he suggested they go out and have fun the following day.
An intrigued Annabelle wiped away her tears and asked, "Where should we go?" Philip turned to her and replied, "How about the Whispering Willow River?" Annabelle smiled and said that it should be just the two of them. Philip agreed and left to make the arrangements.
