It can't be true...

Victoria's POV

The whole room started spinning before my eyes, The Queen's figure blurred and for a moment I felt that I might faint. But that moment passed as immediately as it had arrived, and I clutched the nearest mantle stand for support. I realised that I had not eaten since morning, what with all that dreadful business about Mike, and now my stomach growled pitifully and my head felt as light as a feather. 

The Queen stared at me, concerned, "Are you all right?" She said, "You don't look too well though. Maybe, you should sit down."

I didn't know if I had enough voice left to reply to her. Somehow, faintly I said, "It's…. it's okay. I... I just skipped breakfast and I am feeling a bit dizzy. I.. I should go and get something to eat."
