The Green Fairy Book, Prince Vivien and the Princess Placida, part 1, sentence 21

However, this was not all, King Gridelin insisted that the affairs of the kingdom should be explained to her, and that she should attend all the councils and give her opinion upon the matter in hand whenever it was asked of her, and this made her life such a burden to her that she implored Lolotte to take her away from a country where too much was required of an unhappy Princess.

Who acts: King, trouble, this · What happens: insist, explain, attend, give, ask, make · To what, where: affairs, trouble, councils, opinion, life, Lolotte
