"Your Highness," Riku said, taking the Princess's hand, "Your Brother is not feeling well this morning, so he is going to stay in bed. I would most appreciate your kind abilities, if you would check on him now and then, and see that he eats a little when soup and tea are brought."
Riku turned to look at the Lady Princess. "Your Highness," he said, bowing a little, "I very humbly ask for your help. The Prince wishes for me to go to his receiving hours, but I have not the skills yet to do so alone. Would you please allow me to attend with you?"
