No. It's just far enough. Kingdoms are won by bloodshed not rainbows. Read a history book.

Someone wants to murder Ben? Feigns a look of utter confusion. ( Why?)

She put thousand of people under a curse, she was ready to kill a (child) and ruin a kingdom for a man. Did she think that was a good way to become queen? Oh, wait. She didn't think. That would require actually having more than three brain cells.

Of course not. It's just...a prank. Who would ever want to harm a hair on his head. No one. Not. A. Soul.

Does she need a cough drop?

... He should relax. He'll be (fine). Naturally, that's what best friends are for. Offers the other a simper and reaching over to pat his shoulder.

He isn't her servant. Why doesn't she use those math sticks she calls legs and get it herself?

Why doesn't she learn what her place is? Or hell, why doesn't she learn where the exit is, find it and (stay) there.

He needs his beauty sleep. Goodnight. He sends his most trusted guard to keep an eye on Ben. Just to make sure the king doesn't lose sleep worrying about all those nasty rumors ; he sends some sleepy time tea too.

HE'S IN A MOOD.

Considering that he's surrounded by miscreants, can she blame him?

... Nobody said it. ( N o b o d y )

He has a headache from hell and he's currently not in the mood for anyone. Approach with caution or bourbon - - but it's preferable to not approach at all.

Can she not?

When he's asleep. Clearly.
