"Your Majesty," he starts, paused, pushes on while clasping his hands behind his back, "I find myself growing concerned for your well-being. Specifically at the hands of your betrothed.

He shakes his head, breathes. "My sister is as you are, and was married off by our relatives while I was away. She is happy, but. We spoke often of what to expect.
