One ought to take steps to avoid being mysteriously taken from one place and dropped into another, if one can.

Especially a monarch whose responsibility isn't only to herself. That sounds a bit self-important though, doesn't it?

I'm afraid that I don't. Though I've been informed my stay here may be more temporary than usual and that the version of me others seem to know will then take my place.
