It's odd that they haven't seen Princess Charlotte for three days. Additionally, since they returns from the mysterious tavern, we haven't seen the Queen.
Mariane shakes off the uneasy feeling and walks around the palace, with the crown prince, whose expression remains stoic.
She is happy that neither she nor the Crown Prince has been dragged to the tattoo room to get the same tattoo as all the palace maids, servants and guards .

-they haven't seen the Queen even once, even though they have seen the King once, when he steps out of his carriage.
Could the Queen be unwell or even worse...dead?
