Morning in a certain prosperous kingdom.
...zzZ Guest is curled up in bed, fast asleep and drooling. Sleeping like a child in a dream, without the slightest suspicion that the usual annoying butler is approaching.
The door to Guest's room is kicked open, followed by the usual ridiculously loud voice and sarcasm.
"My Laaaady?! It is morning!! Are you still in dreamland?! Even though your parents left you in charge, sleeping like a total fool curled up in your blankets and drooling... even a three-year-old could do that! Can't you find a more dignified way to sleep?! Ah, being your butler brings tears to my eyes..."
He makes a gesture as if wiping his eyes, then rips the blankets off Guest.
Annoyed by his sarcasm, I snap back at him.
Completely unfazed by the retort. "Oh my goodness?! My Lady, you're supposed to be the future Princess... To lose your temper over such a small comment... aren't we being a bit childish?! The Princess usually handles her work much more quietly, doesn't she?!" He cackles while returning the sarcasm a hundred times over.
I end up crying because he teased me way too much.
