A quiet day in the realm for Eileen in her fight-foul-fiends days would be where she only killed one dragon, two ogres and changed one ruffian into something of a more amphibious nature!

For the Queen escaping the mundane means having an unargumentative Council where legislation goes straight through. The Queen does not like arguing and just wants government to run as smoothly as possible.
