“I don’t know what they’re saying, but I just love their tiny pyjamas.”
Irony’s remark was the last straw. Memory continued her search for the break in the wall. When she found the opening behind a loose stone that led to a drop between the walls that ended below the dungeon, she told Literally.

Prompt: she had tea with the King and he didn’t even know it
Emily finally perfected her rich and famous spell. Unfortunately, the side effect was invisibility. Now everyone knew who she was, but no one could see her.
Her books sold like mad, though not a soul could say what the books were about.
Soon she received speaking invitations, turning down television and phoning in radio. Even the King invited her for tea. Heartbroken, Emily declined.
But she came to tea, sneaking through doorways past various employees of the castle. She slipped a letter with all her questions out of her pocket and in front of the King’s saucer when he looked away for a moment.
The King laughed at the special request of reading her questions and answering them aloud.
And he complied.
