"I am sorry but King Richard is not accepting anyone into this meeting and he refuses to come out of the meeting even for me. I am not sure what to do..... I will be eating dinner alone and most likely be sleeping alone in my own chambers. Which means that he is angry about something. We have separate bedrooms on either side of our bedroom. I suppose that the inner door will be locked as well as the outer door.. I shall be in my own hall with my servants." she spoke sadly as she slowly sat down on the nearest bench.
