"My lady, queen Qarinah is here to see you. She demands to take her daughter home." The maid said as she entered my room. On hearing queen Qarinah's name, a lump quickly formed in my neck. I couldn't speak. I only stared at the maid who passed this information.
"My lady, I said queen Qarinah demands your presence and that of princess Louisa." She said again.
"I heard, I heard you. You can leave now. I'll be with her in a short while." I said and the maid bowed and walked away.
