Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you asked your parents for permission to go on a trip. Your mom and dad are both there, and your dad asks how long you'll be gone and when you'll come back. You tell him when you'll be back, and your dad says okay. That's kind of what's happening here, but with a king and queen instead of parents.
