The Queen's eyes widened and she stared at Nora in disbelief.
She stared hard at Nora. "You, you, you..."
"I'm Black Cat," Nora said directly, worried that the Queen hadn't still realized her identity, as well as to avoid causing further misunderstandings.
"... You are standing right in front of me! Of course I've realized!" The Queen replied.
"Oh. I was afraid you'd misunderstand and think that I kidnapped her."
Nora's reply made the Queen's eyes flicker. To be honest, when she first saw that Nora was holding Black Cat's cell phone, that had indeed been her first thought.
However, she would never admit it, so she raised her chin, snorted, and said, "I'm not that stupid!"
Just as Nora was about to speak, Brenda rushed in. She said, "My goodness, why are you here, Your Majesty? Justin instructed everyone to leave my sister-in-law alone and let her sleep. What if your presence here affects her?"
The Queen:"..."
When she wanted to speak, Brenda grabbed her arm and said to Nora, "Have a good sleep, Nora. It's all because I went to the bathroom and took my eyes off her. In just that split second, she made her way here. Don't worry, no one will disturb you after this!"
The Queen struggled. "I—"
"Yeah, yeah. Alright, let's go, Your Majesty. I know you have feelings for Justin, but you mustn't do anything to harm Nora, or I won't let you off..."
"The audacity of you! How dare you talk to me like that! I'm the Queen!"
"You may be the Queen of the UK, but I'm not a citizen of the UK," retorted Brenda.
