Mariella: Good morning, your majesty.
Me: What's the time?
Mariella: It is at half-past six.
Me: Half-past six?!
Mariella: Long and busy day in front of us. You need to pick coronation gown, you need to learn coronation oath, you need to pick a dress for today, for the royal dinner and walk around...
Me: Walk around? What is that?
Mariella: A day before coronation, the queen is expected to talk to her people, in front of the palace gate.
Me: Oh, wow.
Mariella: You have to be ready at two o'clock.
Me: Five more minutes?
Mariella: Your majesty!
Me: I am joking.
Mariella: His highness, the King and her majesty, the king's mother are waiting for you in the dining room.
Me: We have a family breakfast?
Mariella: I do not go into details.
Me: Okay.
I went to the bathroom, took a shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face and put on some makeup. I put my hair in the low updo and put a baby blue dress. I put on white shoes and went outside.
Petra: Good morning, your majesty. How are you today?
Me: Just keep on going. I am already late. What can I say? How are you?
We just kept walking towards the dining room.
Petra: Well, I had to wake up at...
Me: Hold on. Where is Ana?
Petra: Um... she felt sick. She was throwing up all night and she has a very bad headache.
Me: Oh my god, I need to see her.
Petra: Oh, she will be fine. I think she just ate something bad last night.
Me: Stop. Right. Now!
I turned to her and she was kinda scared.
Me: What is happening?
Petra: Nothing, your majesty. She will be fine in no time.
Me: You are hiding something from me. And I do not like that. Tell me right now. I was nice and patient, but enough is enough.
Petra: I swear, I do not know anything.
Me: Look me in the eyes when I am talking to you!
She looked at me with fear in her eyes.
Me: I was patient, but I expect from you to tell me everything.
She was quiet for a few seconds. Mariella interrupted us.
Mariella: Your majesty, king's mother is not a patient woman.
Me: I am sorry.
