"I'm afraid of being tied up and force-fed so I don't escape while half-willing soldiers are marched past my hair twenty-four hours a day to keep wars going longer and cheaper and for less reason! I'm afraid of being a bargaining chip in international politics with no say in the matter! I'm afraid someone will chop it off my head and it will stop working and then no one will get to use it at all and one day I'll die! It doesn't sound from your description like the queen's really responsible with healing magic if she ate that flower instead of going to visit it!"
