Her hair was disheveled, and the tiara she usually wore had been tossed onto her bed. Her breathing seemed somewhat erratic.

"All right. As soon as the King is available, tell him I wish to see him. Don't forget to emphasize how urgent it is."
Lucia took a deep breath as she ran her fingers through her messy hair.
"As you wish, Princess. I will do exactly as you ordered."
The governess bowed before politely withdrawing.
