The Queen carefully considers Priscilla’s answer and her follow up question, and eventually continues, opting for the truth]:“’A Queen with no knowledge of her people is just a fool in a funny hat’, I was always told. My upbringing was not as colourful as I imagine yours was, but I surely will not bore you with details now. My questions and indeed their reasoning is quite simple I assure you, and dare I say unexciting. I have had but a handful of matches in this company, and I wish to have more. I have been seeking out those who I feel have some promise -- the elder Kade; the woman at the Beach; any standout rookies at the Dojo of which both Amy and Holly proved fruitful; and indeed yourself. I hear the rumblings in my Court of something on the horizon -- group warfare, perhaps, or something like. I just wish to know which allies might prove fruitful, or indeed which enemies to avoid.”
