In Leonard's opinion, whatever made the king dislike his own flesh and blood must be something harsh. He watched the king hide away and cried about the loss of his wife. Leonard wondered from then on what could be so bad that Richard did not use the period of mourning to reach out to fix the relationship with Amelia?
Amelia looked off to the side and was a tad disappointed Leonard didn't have the answer for her. "Mentally prepared? How much more prepared can I get?"
"It's your father, princess. You can never be too prepared."
