"The queen knows about this?" Harold asked, and the royal physician was startled when he realized his error.

"Yes, your highness. She suspected it first and asked me to look into it," the royal physician rushed to explain.

"Is there an antidote?" Harold asked, and the head physician told him what he had told the Queen.
