"The royal messengers from Celestia have arrived, Your Majesty," said the soldier.
"Ugh, they're here again," Alice replied.
Ryutaro, noticing Alice seemed displeased by the arrival of the messengers, asked her, "Why are you scoffing, Alice?"
"When my father was in a coma, suddenly these messengers appeared, and they unexpectedly offered a marriage contract with me," Alice explained.
Her father sighed.
"So, they came while I was in a coma too?" Alice's father asked.
"Yes, they came as well, Father," Alice replied.
"By the way, why are you sighing, Your Majesty?" Ryutaro asked.
"Because even when I was healthy, they kept sending marriage proposals directed to Alice, and I asked Alice if she would accept them," Alice's father said.
Ryutaro then asked Alice, "And you rejected the proposal, Alice?"
Alice responded firmly, "Of course I rejected it. Who would want to marry such an ugly prince?"
Upon hearing Alice call the prince ugly, Ryutaro was taken aback.
