Don't Worry, My Queen (or A Study in Rebellious Servants)

Don’t worry, my queen

No one is betraying you

Don’t worry, my queen

Nobody hates you

Don’t worry, my queen

Your subjects are loyal

Don’t worry, my queen

You rule with a gentle hand

Don’t worry, my queen

Your king worships you

Don’t worry, my queen

Your maids adore you

Don’t worry, my queen

Your servants are your servants,

most of all me

Don’t worry, my queen

Those rebels are a lie

Don’t worry, my queen

We will calm the fighting soon enough

But first, please know:

don’t worry, my queen.

Your death will be painless.
