“Marianthe, are you alright?” Queen Jacqueline asked.
I tried my best to compose myself. The last thing I needed was for the queen to suspect and take my memories away again. “I’m fine,” I said calmly, “Just a slight headache.”
I began to walk to the door and almost fell over. I grabbed at her bedpost and held on to it to keep my balance.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” the queen asked, “I can send for a maid to help you to your room.”
She reached out to touch me but I slapped her away. “I’m fine!” I snapped. I let go of the bedpost and walked slowly to the door. I dipped a curtsy to her and left.
