Perhaps... The queen is certainly naïve, young, and inexperienced outside of her palace. But I have a hard time believing that she doesn't understand the basics about raiders and bandits who she has to deal with on a constant basis. Raiders and bandits have zero respect for the queen and Zeta's laws. This is why the city has so many problems with their trade routes, merchants, and caravans being attacked and raided constantly. So proclaiming herself as the queen to the bandits can really only be used to THEIR advantage, not HERS. I agree with skybarbie that this was a bit hard to swallow for me. It certainly adds drama to the scene which I believe was the entire point (a plot hook). If you can swallow the fact that the queen is this dumb and foolish then it works.That was the most realistic part of the whole thing, lol. Of course the spoiled brat would stamp her foot and try to assert her authority without thinking.
