me to do so.
“Everyone needs to know their place, nobility and commoner alike,” Linda said.
The King nodded.
The Queen decided to change the subject, “I will try the egg first. I’m sure it is delicious.”
“Mother, perhaps you shouldn’t –”
“Quiet, Julian,” she said.
Julian lowered his head, unusually cowed. “Yes, ma’am.” In his eyes, something sparked though, as if he
was about to watch his own revenge unfold.
She bit into it. Immediately, her face soured, though she continued to chew. Eventually she s

The King who had been carefully watching her seemed less inclined to take a bite of his own offered egg. However, after
glancing at the cameras, he inhaled a deep breath, and nibbled on the edge.
Linda offered eggs to the princes. They all refused, even Joyce, who I had previously assumed hadn’t been paying attention.
Perhaps he was more observant than I had thought. I truly knew so little about him.
“This is...” The King struggled for a word.
“Vile? Repulsive?” Julian supplied.
“Spoiled?” Nicholas added, without so much joy as Julian.
The Queen pressed one hand to her stomach and the other to her mouth. She lurched forward, like she

“And just how did you reason that out?” Julian said.
He and Nicholas had stayed nearby, listening to the complaints of the girls. It truly did seem unfair, that they wouldn’t have the
