Today is Thursday.
At that moment, Despereaux's brother Furlough passed by and saw his brother was so intimate to humans. He ran back to his father and told him what he had seen. The father was angry and decided to call all the mice to discuss this ridiculous situation. But the worst was that Furlough hadn't seen. The princess cupped Despereaux in her hands. She liked him and wanted to raise him. But she couldn't get her father's permission. The king reminded her that her mother was died for the disease from the rats. Although the princess told him a mouse was different from a rat, the king didn't say yes. The princess had to let Despereaux leave with tears in her eyes. Despereaux suddenly spoke to her that he would honor her. The king and the princess was astonished to hear that a mouse said human's sentence. Despereaux had learned the sentence from the story book in the library. The king was angry and warned Despereaux that he would kill the small mouse if he still stayed there any longer. Despereaux had to run away.
