"Why am I bothering myself with these things. He is nothing more than a working colleague for me. Afterall, all this, this palace, these people, this husband, they aren't mine. This isn't mine. So why?" Regina was asking herself inside her heart but she was furious she couldn't stop at all. And Duncan's stand on all this made her even more engrossed in this petty anger.
"This is none of my business. I should just report everything that happened her to the count and my job ends." She tried convincing herself.
"Tell me your majesty. Why take this matter so lightly? Shouldn't we imprison the person who tried to poison your queen?" She kept asking questions. Louder and louder her voice got as paler Duncan's face became.
"Why bother with these stuff. Stop, Regina. Just stop." She wanted to calm herself down.
"Regina." She yelled at herself inside her heart.
"Rachel." Duncan said in a loud voice.
There was a sudden silence in the entire room. The rain sound remained constant.
