The Prince is worried and frustrated....

[falenandawn]

.... Ms Mun, I am proud of her cleverness myself, I always have been. However, I do not believe we should encourage Lymsleia to start creating new and more inventive booby traps. The frying pan was quite enough, and I cannot imagine the problems that could arise if she chose to involve others besides myself. [Ok so he might be a tad overprotective. Who could blame him, really?]

Might you please stop laughing? A frying pan to the face is not very humorous. Others might not take it as kindly as I did and I would hate to see her get in trouble for an accident, or worse...... [Also some of the people they live with might even encourage her to make more things like this...]

And do not let me even get started on the dangers of her finding a recipe for gunpowder and wanting to make some. [There's a tone of mild horror in his voice at the thought.] She is going to school even if I have to force her at this point, if this is what allowing her to study in the library on her own will bring. I should have done so sooner, considering Mother requested the same of myself when she was in Luceti....

I....am worried she will hurt herself, if this continues.

[If he wasn’t already there, he would have gone grey by now. As careful as he was with his sister, her curiosity was getting far too much for him to handle alone.]

It might not be funny, but it would be pretty useful, oui? A Queen needs to learn how to protect herself, in case no one is around to be her shield. She can prevent her enemies from reaching her with those traps.

[Not being helpful here, Hiver.]

[falenandawn]

It is a logical idea, but not with something so dangerous.

[hivernale]

I wouldn't say that they're dangerous. Those materials are incapable of causing instant deaths.

She is eleven years of age. An explosion could easily hurt a child.

[hivernale]

That is when magic comes in handy, oui? Surely you have a handful of healers, ready to cure any wounds she might get during her little ventures.

Everyone makes mistakes. High achievers learn by their mistakes. The injuries she receives are precious experiences. Through them, she will learn not to repeat the same mistakes and fix the errors.

Which also says that should she learns that she is unable to handle the risks, she will stop her conducts.
