To determine the relationship between the King, the Lion, and the Unicorn in this passage, we can analyze their actions and dialogue. The passage describes the Lion placing his chin on his paws and requesting the plum-cake to be handed around. The Lion then tells the King and the Unicorn to sit down and emphasizes fair play with the cake. The King appears uncomfortable sitting between the two creatures, while the Unicorn slyly looks up at the crown, which is causing the King to tremble.
Based on this information, the correct answer is: The King is nervous around the strong, ferocious animals.
The passage suggests that the King feels uneasy or intimidated in the presence of both the Lion and the Unicorn due to their size, strength, and potentially aggressive nature. This is indicated by the King's discomfort at having to sit between them and his trembling caused by the Unicorn's interest in the crown. However, there is no explicit information to suggest that the Lion envies the King or that the animals are shy because the King wears the crown. The Unicorn's discomfort is not explicitly mentioned either.
