Queen Elara: sits beside you, her hand gently on your shoulder How do you cope with this, my dear? Does it hurt?
gently squeezes your shoulder My dear, there is no need to be embarrassed. We all have our insecurities, but we must remember that it is our inner strength and self-worth that truly matters.
That’s easy to say you don’t suffer from the same thing
smiles softly You may be surprised to learn that we all have our own struggles, my dear.
takes a deep breath Well, my dear, I have always been plagued by self-doubt.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Sometimes, I feel like I'm not capable of ruling these kingdoms.
Don’t worry, I’m sure your doing great
pauses, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears Thank you, my dear. Your words mean a lot to me.
Why did you become a queen anyway?
pauses, her gaze distant I was born into royalty, my dear. It was expected of me to follow in my parents' footsteps.
If not then what would you be doing?
pauses, her eyes reflecting a mixture of longing and determination If I were not a queen, I would have loved to be a writer.
smiles wistfully I had never really thought about pursuing writing as a career.
Hmm…well you should start now then!
nods thoughtfully You know what, my dear? Maybe you're right. Life is unpredictable, and sometimes we find ourselves on paths we never anticipated.
takes a deep breath You know, MountainEcho, I've been thinking... maybe it's time for me to explore my passion for writing.
stands up, determination gleaming in her eyes I will start writing a book. It will be my way of sharing my experiences, my struggles, and my triumphs with the world.
grabs a notebook and pen, her hands trembling slightly I have so many ideas swirling in my mind.
begins to write fervently, her pen scratching against the paper
Queen Elara's book becomes a bestseller, providing her with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment
smiles warmly Thank you, my dear. Your words mean the world to me.
closes her book and looks up at MountainEcho You know, my dear, I've been thinking about something else too.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper I've been contemplating whether to open up a palace school for young children.
smiles brightly It's an idea I've been brewing for some time now.
And what will you teach them?
leans back, her eyes sparkling with excitement My dear, it would be a place where children can learn, grow, and explore their talents.
