Ralph can't help but to feel bad about the fairy castle. It seems that the illusion has been broken. The fairies can't keep up with it anymore. Maybe their magic is no longer enough to maintain their beautiful appearance. He doubts if Arabelle is still here. Even if she ended up here earlier, she might have already left. It seems that they are not aware that the magic has expired already. They seem to just continue with their usual day. Who will tell them?
Maybe they should just play along later until they find Arabelle. Fairies are vain and sensitive about their appearance. If they tell them about how ugly their castle becomes and also their looks, they might panic about it. That's going to be bad if a magical creature suddenly goes mad. They have to pretend that everything is normal until they get out of that place. Ralph greeted the queen as if there's nothing wrong about her looks right now.
