A challenging position
Her Royal Majesty Madelyne Essex, Queen of the Southern Kingdom has had a difficult time since the death of her husband. Running the kingdom, in all actuality, is the simple part. What is not simple, is all of the constant claims to her throne and fending off all of the men who think they can do the job better than she does.
They've even taken to attempting to corner her when she's alone with her maids. As if getting into her bed would prove some sort of weakness or being able to force themselves on her would prove that she couldn't effectively rule a country. It isn't at all likely that they'd be able to do either these days but it is possible.
Especially as this situation is begining to wear her down.
Not for the first time, she wishes she had someone she could share her burdens with.
