Tantrum

"You said you needed to get some air outside the palace to feel better, yet you came back sick. What happened to you?" The queen asked curiously as they ate, since she wanted to know exactly what had happened. 

Alicia raised her head to look at her. She still didn't have a clear picture of what happened to her either so she answered, "I guess I was exhausted. I don't remember much of what happened," Alicia said with a shake of her head, and the Queen looked at her, wondering if she was telling the truth or just saying that because, like Harold, she didn't want to tell them what had happened. Harold, on the other hand, wondered if she really didn't remember or perhaps was just saying that. He had no idea why he was so angry with her when he should be happy that she was now feeling okay and the breakfast table now seemed lively.
