She noted with surprise that even though she had slept for so long she did not feel like someone who had been terribly ill just the day, she felt rejuvenated and strong And she would have felt better if she did not remember how she had fallen ill in the first place.

What kind of queen was unable to face servants who were talking about her behind her back? How were they supposed to respect her when she could not stand but to them? But she had frozen instead of confronting them and that was sure to bring her more troubles.

Unfortunately she had become so aware of her inadequacies that she just wanted to pick up and run far away.
