In an instant, dozens of armed men freeze at that single word. Many of them have served the Queen since birth.
A moment of silence descends...
Before they realize their advantage, the Queen shouts first:
"Do you know who stands before you! Your rightful monarch is here! Kneel and show respect!"
"Y-Your Majesty... we have discovered that Lord Robert Cecil has conspired with Spain to threaten Your Majesty..."
"Now! Didn't I tell you to kneel!"
"..."
For now, the strong men kneel on one knee before the roaring lioness without even thinking. Then the Queen turns her back to them.
"I... I understand your words well. Wait. My grooming is not complete."
At the Queen's gesture, the ladies-in-waiting hurriedly close the palace doors. While everyone is confused and murmuring in fear, the Queen grabs Margaret's arm and whispers:
"...Look down below the window."
"Y-y-yes...? Y-Your Majesty... the traitors...!"
"Stop whining and look down below the window!"
