But the little prince was wondering. The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
"Sire." he said to him. "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question."
"I order you to ask me a question." the king hastened to assure him.
"Sire, over what do you rule?"
"Over everything. " said the king, with magnificent simplicity.
"Over everything?"
The king made a gesture which took in his planet, the other planets and all the stars.
"Over all that?" asked the little prince.
"Over all that." the king answered.
For his rule was not only absolute: it was also universal.
"And the stars obey you?"
"Certainly they do," the king said. "They obey instantly. I do not permit insubordination."可是小王子感到很奇怪。这么小的行星，国王他对什么进行统治呢？
他对国王说：“陛下……请原谅，我想问您……”
国王急忙抢着说道：“我命令你问我。”
“陛下……你统治什么呢？”
国王非常简单明了地说：“我统治一切。”
“一切？”
国王轻轻地用手指着他的行星和其他的行星，以及所有的星星。
小王子说：“统治这一切？”
“统治这一切。”
原来他不仅是一个绝对的君主，而且是整个宇宙的君主。
“那么，星星都服从您吗？”
“那当然！”国王对他说，“它们立即就得服从。我是不允许无纪律的。”
