The filles du roi were not really the king's daughters, as their name mean in French. None of them actually saw him. He was just a patron paying for them to travel and settle in the newly founded colony of New France, and gave them a dowry, consisting of a small sum of money and a trousseau. So you can assume that they had no reason to be frightened by the king.
