The queens sweet voice dripped with sarcasm. "Ah yes, do not worry my husband is not hiding around the corner. He is too busy with the hoards of horned rabbits. He needs to be ready to send off troops to wherever the worst hoards surface. He received a certain notification that threw him in to a rather strange mood." The queen looked like she was both happy and unhappy at the same time. Her face was almost impossible to properly read.
Pausing for a moment to let it all sink in, Can you explain how you managed to change your title from hero to true hero?" This question was exactly what Walker was thinking she would be here about. If the king was occupied with the military the queen would need to be the one that had to deal with it. Naturally for her to be this unhappy about something so important for the kingdom she would have been busy with something important as well.
Clara has the right to be angry. Keep her in the loop guys!
