The princess was different now than in her younger days.
Her child self was carefree and loved to put a smile on other people's faces, especially her family's, but things now were not as they were in the past. And she was different to how she once was.
Thus, when she needed it, or the Rukh detected a crack in the princess' mentality, they would surround her and try to comfort her. Besides that, they would shelter her.

Now, how was this going to play out? She couldn't wait to find out.
