The Queen's Power

 Her title changed whenever she felt like it, but 'Queen' featured often enough that I defaulted to calling her that most of the time. She didn't notice, as a rule.


She was far too busy making decrees, demanding changes, and altering her lands on her whims to bother caring if I had the exact terminology down.


It tended to be when I said no that she'd focus on my getting it right. On those occasions, then I made sure to call her by the wrong term.


That always got her mad at me, distracting her from realising she was powerless.
