Whatever courage or defiance she held started to wane in the presence of the figure before her, and rather than struggle Adela remained still. She was uncertain, unsure of what was going to happen now that it had apparently come to this. Whether it was because of the previous hit to her head or frayed nerves because of what was happening then and there, she began to feel sick.

"I... I would say there was a misunderstanding, yes," She began, quiet and almost demure before she finally bowed her head, not knowing then and there if she should have been doing so as a sign of respect or if she should have been trying to meet the eye of the queen before her, "I had by accident wandered close to the castle, thinking it beautiful and wishing to view it more closely. I had been intending to leave thereafter, and... In truth I had meant no disrespect to you in doing so, Your Majesty."

She could at least use the proper title, even if the woman before her was not her queen, right...? Oh Nehra, she didn't know what to do. It was really hitting her then and there that she was in a truly terrible situation, one with no clear way out. Would this be where she would die, because of some ill-fated timing to be where she was?
