Bert and Dehlia had planted the seed of thought in her mind, and it was growing away busily putting out new shoots of thought, all of which were quite bothersome, because they were about things like responsibility and fairness, and thinking about others, and why being a princess perhaps should be about more than just having a nice library and three meals a day, particularly when other people didn't have these things...

Bert and Dehlia inspired her to start contemplating deeper ideas related to responsibility and fairness. These thoughts were expanding quickly, creating a flurry of new reflections that she found quite troublesome. The notion of being a princess was evolving in her mind, moving beyond the comfort of her library and daily meals. She began questioning why her role shouldn't involve caring for others and contributing to something greater.

Her thoughts were driven by the realization that others lacked the simple luxuries she took for granted. This growing awareness made her reconsider what it truly meant to be a princess, hinting at a sense of duty and empathy that went beyond personal comfort. The seeds planted by Bert and Dehlia thus nurtured a new understanding of her responsibilities and the importance of fairness in her world.
