Raleigh could only shake his head.
No, that's impossible.
No matter how eccentric and peculiar the Queen might be, she's not an unreasonable person. Rather, she appears eccentric and peculiar precisely because she thinks and acts so thoroughly strategically.
That was the Queen I knew. But if such a Queen acted this way, there must be a reason somewhere...
"Ah... come to think of it, she did say something rather meaningful."
"Something meaningful?"
"Yes, roughly these words. Ahem. '...I must go to keep my promise with the angel,' she said."
Pro...mise? What promise? I don't recall making any promise with the Queen...
I pondered for a moment and then shook my head.
"I have... no idea."
Still incomprehensible. Raleigh tilted his head in confusion just like me.
Well, anyway... dwelling on an unsolvable problem is a waste of time. I decided to ask about other important matters first.
"So, what's the situation in Ireland?"
