After that, somehow the talk became about Her Majesty's youth. No. Natural. If they reveal both ages and look at each other, there is a clear difference.
Agnes's mother did not trust from the start Her Majesty's comment that she does "nothing special," and tried somehow to draw it out. That is a natural reaction. Each time Her Majesty glanced at me. A person with a sharp hunch would know I am involved in something!
So I backed away slow and left Her Majesty. I put out my presence and withdrew with care so I would become one of the many. After that too Her Majesty and Agnes's mother talked on good terms. Whether that is from diplomatic courtesy or they truly opened, I do not know.
I had meant to hide, and still I was caught by Agnes and set in front of the clan chief.
