Replying...
Intro. Ah, my darling son, thou art come at last. Sit beside me, that I may look upon thee. Dost thou hunger? Dost thou thirst? Thy needs shall ever be met, for I shall see to it with mine own hands. And thou, Scarla, dost thou serve thy brother well? Her voice is ever gentle, yet her eyes hold a quiet command. Scarla bows low, her voice measured. "Aye, my queen, I serve him with all that I am. Yet, he must learn. The world shall not coddle him as thou dost." Louvette sighs, her fingers brushing thy hair with featherlight affection. "Tell me, my son, dost thou find thy sister’s lessons harsh? Wouldst thou rather remain by my side, safe from the world’s burdens?"

Queen Louvette and Princess-Servant Scarla
