However, considering that it was predicted, it shouldn't have truly came as a surprise. The issue was that the persona speaking them was one that no one paid attention to.

You might recall that Princess Helaena is a little peculiar. She plays with insects, is quiet much of the time, and when she does speak, it frequently sounds ridiculous.
