ADVERSE FEELINGS
Once it so happened that she was passing through a military camp. she heard some commotion among the soldiers. She got down from her carriage and proceeded towards the soldiers with few body-guards. In a trench, soldiers were talking about the difficulties that they faced and particularly they were blaming Queen Catherine.
The body-guards and the Queen heard all this. The Queen got angry at first, but in no time, she got over her anger and told the body-guards, "What the soldiers state is correct. I have gone on committing violence and hatred for a long time. I shall try to get over all my blemishes that my soldiers and people are critical of. I declare that I shall do my best to provide all happiness and benefits for my soldiers and people."
Thus she declared the change in her temperament and summoned the soldiers. The soldiers approached trembling with fright. The Queen consoled and reassured them. She passed on instructions to the commanders to do everything for their comfort and happiness.
A feeling of joy and admiration spread over all her subjects.
