Annie's POV
"Queen Esther and Lord Macbeth?" I inquired. I had no clue about why I said it, yet I had a clear memory of hearing my mom call those names before she was killed. She shouted it, as a matter of fact. Shouted it with much hatred it probably stayed with me.

"I heard the names, is that where you are-" I asked before keeping calm and cursing myself. Calm Annie, you don't question the King, I reminded myself, but he said I could ask questions and my old attitude made me question each easily overlooked detail, whether it was a stunt, or whether he was involving it as a method for finding something to punish me for.
"Why do you do that? You go to say something, then stop,"
