The Bohemian Princess known as Veronika continued to weep into Berengar's tunic for some time as the young Monarch consoled her. While this was ongoing, Dagmar, the former Queen of Bohemia, glared at her daughter and Berengar with an intense fury.
What Berengar had just proclaimed greatly diminished her perceived rights as the mother of Veronika, and more importantly, as Queen of Bohemia. She refused to believe that her time as royalty had come to an end, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.
However, with Berengar's royal guard eying her closely, she could not make a move on the man who had usurped power in her family's lands. As such, she was forced to watch the intimate display between Berengar and Veronika while stewing in her hatred.
