Adric cleared his throat, stopping the man from completing his words. "My wife wasn't born to babysit her elder sister... And that's not how you talk to a Queen," he said firmly.
Curtis touched his nose. "T-that's not what I meant, Your Majesty. I was just thinking, since they're sisters, they would look out for each other, and Oriana is wiser than her sister; she should help her not go astray."
