The Queen waited patiently for the General's answer. His first explanation didn't seem to affect her expression. It was too neutral to be of any help to the Queen, so she waited longer to see if he would develop further. As he continued to speak, the Queen leaned closer, her eyes on the General's as she looked at him as though not wanting to miss a word.<br/><br/>A quick flash of light seemed to pass trough her eyes when she heard the words "even if I don't agree with everything he does".<br/><br/>The Queen smiled softly before speaking again. "Oh, I am sure my husband is a great king. I have no complaints of his conduct, neither as a king, nor as a family man, General." Her voice was soft, but there was something underneath it, as though she was holding back on something she wanted to say. "But I do not see what good can come from this enterprise. Even if my husband succeeds." The voice became even softer. "Once we are at peace... we shall have no further use for your men, General. Did that consideration cross your mind?"
