The princess's voice came stoic yet unable to hide the tint of sadness folded within. As Arthur listened, he felt bad for being inconsiderate to her. They might have fought in the past, but she wasn't a bad person. Furthermore, he was the person who killed her brother. 

"Alfred wasn't a good person, but he was my brother. I tried to change him, but he was always so distant, so secluded to himself. He could only see my parents and how to be approved by them."

"I don't know if it was right or wrong, we'll see how it unfolds. For starters, I sure don't enjoy these people dissecting me with their eyes." Arthur said making the princess chuckle.
