The other day, the prince overheard the princess's conversation with the butler about her desire for a cat to ease her loneliness when he wasn't around

That explains why he had just returned from hunting and hurried excitedly to the princess's bedchamber

As the door opened, the princess froze at the sight of the prince holding a cat

"I regret to inform you that I couldn't find a cat. However, does the presence of a Canadian lynx fulfill the princess's wish?"
