I apologize for the delay in responding to this, anon. 

The feeling was like none I could ever explain in words. I felt like I was doing both my father and mother proud. I felt at peace with myself and was thrilled to be running such an amazing and all powerful kingdom. 

I will be at court later in the evenings. I fear my work as Queen and ruler of England, Scotland and Ireland keeps me very busy. 

Thank you to all of my loyal subjects. You are the sole blood life and spirit of this country.

I would love some company this evening. It seems as though court grows boring when I’m alone.

There must be any amount of princes in the undiscovered lands across the sea. Find me an honest one of those.
