Not like the common story.

If you guys are familar with Louie, then you should know a portion of his memories. When he was still the young prince of the animal kingdom,Louie was the only child in the palace (except Prince Lionel was still a baby).

The lamb is Christopher, and he was appointed to be Louie's indentured servant. They are both the same age.

Louie had never seen another child before so of course in was in his nature to desire companionship, even if Christopher felt that it was not his place.

Although Christopher is a servant, Louie didn't care. All he saw was another kid like him and so he treated Christopher like an equal; even if it was taboo for a royal child.
