"Are you sure you don't want to sleep more?" She asked as she held me in her soft grasp, my head laying against her collarbone.
Soft… she was too soft… I felt so safe in her embrace that I could barely bring myself to even open my eyes.
"No… I-I'm hungry," I stuttered, and the woman slowly smiled again as she reached to the servant next to her, who presented a plate of warm cookies.
Slowly, she brought the cookies to my mouth, and even though I was a bit embarrassed by the fact she was feeding me, I still opened my mouth.
"Good girl," She praised me, and I felt my mind slowly drift off again into a peaceful nap.
…
When I awoke, I still found myself in the lap of the queen, who was currently having a meeting with a few uncaring nobles.
"Oh, good morning, sweetie," The queen smiled at me, and I felt my heart nearly skip a beat as her arms wrapped around me, and she sat me up on her lap.
