... I'm glad to hear that. Wanting to be a good leader, more than a figurehead, it's what I'd wish of you. Because you will be a good queen, once.
[A sigh. There's a limit to how much she can tell to her daughter, now, without endangering her or the plan... but she can say something, at least.] But you will have time for that. This is your first meeting... I should like for you to be able to spend it exploring and having fun, rather than be involved in the finer details of politics. [The corner of her mouth tilts up, in a small smile that is still more real than any of her bright, wide ones.]
I am not keeping you in the dark because I don't trust you would do me proud. I'm simply not involving you in this because you don't yet have to be. Trust me, you will have more fun playing pranks on angels than trying to hammer out a peace treaty.
